More quotes by Yasser Arafat
Whoever stands by a just cause cannot possibly be called a terrorist.
Yasser Arafat
The Palestinian Rifle is ready and we will aim it if they try to prevent us from praying in Jerusalem.
Yasser Arafat
I am not Mr. Chairman. I am His Excellency, the President of Palestine.
Yasser Arafat
I'm a man of history. My vision is guiding me, my clear vision. It is not by chance that the currents of peace are increasing daily inside Israel.
Yasser Arafat
The Palestinian state is within our grasp. Soon the Palestinian flag will fly on the walls, the minarets and the cathedrals of Jerusalem.
Yasser Arafat
The Palestinian people have no national identity. I, Yasser Arafat, man of destiny, will give them that identity through conflict with Israel.
Yasser Arafat
I come bearing an olive branch in one hand, and the freedom fighter's gun in the other. Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand.
Yasser Arafat
If there is any Arab problem we can solve it inside the Arab League. But we are going to deal with the other side, with the Israelis.... It is not me who will decide who will invite, to speak frankly. It is not me, it is not the Arab side, it is not the Israelis who will decide who will invite.
Yasser Arafat
[Adolf] Hitler succeeded once upon a time to conquer all the big powers within two or three years and occupied all Europe, North Africa, and arrived at the gates of Moscow. This is not the real power. Real power is something completely different.
Yasser Arafat
Many of the Israelis begin to understand and discover the realities and the facts. They can't demolish five million Palestinians. They can't annihilate them.
Yasser Arafat
We completely condemn this very dangerous attack, and I convey my condolences to the American people, to the American president and to the American administration, not only in my name, but on behalf of the Palestinian people.
Yasser Arafat
The war of attrition against the Zionist enemy will never cease.
Yasser Arafat
Martyrs, martyrs, martyrs,... we want a million martyrs to march on Jerusalem.
Yasser Arafat
Peace cannot be achieved except after the cessation of military escalation and the economic and financial siege.
Yasser Arafat
Did you follow what [General Yehoshafat] Harkabi wrote? Formerly of the Israeli military intelligence service. Remember him? Did you follow what he wrote? He said that it was for the sake of the existence of Israel that we have to accept the rights of the Palestinians to have their independent state.
Yasser Arafat
When American administration will find that their interest is to follow up with the international conference and to find peace in this area, they will search not only for me, but for any Palestinian to speak with him. And they will say, We have five million Arabs in the United States. We can't avoid them.
Yasser Arafat
We have absolute support from all our masses inside our occupied territories and even outside our occupied territories. The War of the Camps [in Lebanon] is another picture of this strong support of our masses.
Yasser Arafat
[Alexander Haig and Ariel Sharon ] casualties in this war were more than in all the previous Arab - Israeli confrontations. If you remember, it is the only war [in 1982] which hasn't a hero among the Israeli generals.
Yasser Arafat
We will not bend or fail until the blood of every last Jew from the youngest child to the oldest elder is spilt to redeem our land!
Yasser Arafat
The goal of our struggle is the end of Israel, and there can be no compromises...
Yasser Arafat
