Image
Our law is a Jordanian law that we inherited, which applies to both the West Bank and Gaza, and sets the death penalty for those who sell land to Israelis.
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
Whoever stands by a just cause cannot possibly be called a terrorist.
Yasser Arafat
Image
Peace cannot be achieved except after the cessation of military escalation and the economic and financial siege.
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.

Who imagined that what I said upon my departure from Beirut would become a reality, when I said the volcano and typhoon which started in Beirut will not stop.
Yasser Arafat
Image
I want to tell Carter and Begin that when the Arabs set off their volcano there will be only Arabs in this part of the world... Our people will continue to fuel the torch of the revolution with rivers of blood until the whole of the occupied homeland is liberated, the whole of the homeland is liberated, not just a part of it.

We are a democratic - we are living in democracy.

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

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
Image
I am not Mr. Chairman. I am His Excellency, the President of Palestine.
Yasser Arafat

In 1982, when Alexander Haig and [Ariel] Sharon put this plan to invade the south of Lebanon and Beirut, they imagined that in two or three or five days, they can demolish the PLO and destroy its infrastructure. What happened? The longest Arab - Israeli confrontation.
Yasser Arafat
Image
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
Image
Peace for us means the destruction of Israel.
Yasser Arafat
Image
Where is [Ariel] Sharon who, planning to be one of the big heroes of Israel, became one of the killers, criminals, killing our small kids in Sabra and Chatila. Where is Alexander Haig?
Yasser Arafat

Jerusalem is the capital of the Palestinian state.
Yasser Arafat
Image
I know the American administration is trying to refurbish its image after Irangate, especially in the Middle East and among their friends in this area. No doubt about it. We are following it.
Yasser Arafat
Image
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
Image
We plan to eliminate the state of Israel and establish a purely Palestinian state. We will make life unbearable for Jews by psychological warfare and population explosion. We Palestinians will take over everything, including all of Jerusalem.
Yasser Arafat
Image
The victory march will continue until the Palestinian flag flies in Jerusalem and in all of Palestine.
