More quotes by Yasser Arafat
You are the generation that will reach the sea and hoist the flag of Palestine over Tel Aviv.
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
The Palestinian people have no national identity. I, Yasser Arafat, man of destiny, will give them that identity through conflict with Israel.
Yasser Arafat
When I made a big effort in '96 and it is not - I squeezed and I arrested a part of [terroristic groups].

Yasser Arafat
Since we cannot defeat Israel in war, we do this in stages. We take any and every territory that we can of Palestine, and establish a sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, we can get the Arab nations to join us for the final blow against Israel.
Yasser Arafat

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.
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
In order to obtain the goal of returning to Palestine, all of us sometimes have to grit our teeth.
Yasser Arafat
It's always convenient for certain people to heap accusations on Israel.
Yasser Arafat
Let us be worthy of those who pin their hopes on us. May God bless you with success.
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
Let us return back to the peace process for our children and for their children. The peace of the brave which I have signed is my debt, part in our love for [Isaac] Rabin.
Yasser Arafat
The obstacle is the USA administration. I know there is a strong Israeli lobby in America, no doubt of it.
Yasser Arafat
Once in 1979, [Zbigniew] Brzezinski gave an important slogan: Bye-bye PLO. After two months, I was in Tehran saying to him: Bye-bye Brzezinski. Who can imagine that America will lose one of its strongest bases?
