Islamic Jihad leader Khader Habib said "armed struggle is the means to liberate the Palestinian land."

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said Palestinians should resist until "all Palestine is liberated."

On March 14, the BDS Movement for Freedom, Justice and Equality headlined "Land Day: Celebrate Resistance and Intensify BDS."

"Land Day presents opportunity to develop campaigns for boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel, particularly campaigns targeting the Jewish National Fund, Israeli agribusinesses and companies operating in illegal Israeli settlements, all of which play a vital role in the continued theft of Palestinian land."

"The Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions National Committee (BNC) invites people of conscience across the world to join us in marking land day by highlighting BDS as an effective form of solidarity with the Palestinian struggle."

"At a time when Israel is facing unprecedented levels of pressure over its continued colonization of Palestinian land and quickly losing the international support upon which it depends, let us work together to intensify our collective efforts to hold Israel and its supporters accountable."
