I am looking to have a place under the sun for our new generations to live in peace far away from repression, from terrorism, to live as human beings freely in this free world. That is what I am looking for. I am not asking for the moon. I am asking for the United Nations legality to be implemented.
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

Choose your friends carefully. Your enemies will choose you.
Yasser Arafat

Not to forget, you are speaking with General Yasser Arafat. It's true that I am an engineer. But also I am a general. And I am religious. I believe that no one can approach me except God.
