Martyrs, martyrs, martyrs,... we want a million martyrs to march on Jerusalem.

Still, the American administration is following blindly the Israeli advisers in your policy, while they are pushing you to more and more disasters.
Yasser Arafat

I am convinced that our people are now on the way to establishing a Palestinian state. The agreement signed in Cairo is the first step in establishing the state, and therefore it should be implemented.
Yasser Arafat

Israel must withdraw from Jerusalem so that it becomes the capital of a state of Palestine.
Yasser Arafat
Image
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
Image
I can't let it pass when you say: You are the weak party. No, I am not the weak party. I am the man who is making the war. I am the man who is making the peace.

The most fatal mistake of this Israeli military junta is that they have the complex of the arrogance of power. This is their suicidal mistake.

Peace cannot be achieved except after the cessation of military escalation and the economic and financial siege.

[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.

I am not Mr. Chairman. I am His Excellency, the President of Palestine.
Yasser Arafat
Image
The Israelis are mistaken if they think we do not have an alternative to negotiations. By Allah I swear they are wrong. The Palestinian people are prepared to sacrifice the last boy and the last girl so that the Palestinian flag will be flown over the walls, the churches and the mosques of Jerusalem.
Yasser Arafat

The goal of our struggle is the end of Israel, and there can be no compromises...
Yasser Arafat

It is another face in the new atmosphere of many leaders inside Israel. No doubt it is something new. Actually, Ezer Weizman is a Palestinian. He was born in Haifa.
Yasser Arafat

Even if only one guerilla cub survives the prolonged struggle, I am confident that he will raise the flag of Palestine overJerusalem... Jerusalem is destined to be the eternal capital of our sovereign, independent Palestinian state under the P.L.O. leadership.

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.

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!

In order to obtain the goal of returning to Palestine, all of us sometimes have to grit our teeth.
Yasser Arafat
Image
Our basic aim is to liberate the land from the Mediterranean Seas to the Jordan River. We are not concerned with what took place in June 1967 or in eliminating the consequences of the June war. The Palestinian revolution's basic concern is the uprooting of the Zionist entity from our land and liberating it.
