More quotes by Yasser Arafat
Whoever stands by a just cause cannot possibly be called a terrorist.
Yasser Arafat
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.
Yasser Arafat
What Kuwait did to the Palestinian people is worse than what has been done by Israel to Palestinians in the occupied territories.
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
All religious wars are about people arguing over who has the biggest invisible friend.
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
We are a democratic - we are living in democracy.
Yasser Arafat
Choose your friends carefully. Your enemies will choose you.
Yasser Arafat
This child, who is grasping the stone, facing the tank, is it not the greatest message to the world when that hero becomes a martyr? We are proud of them.
Yasser Arafat
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
Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand.
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
It will be another disaster, after Irangate. Not only that, not only this longest Arab - Israeli confrontation: but also the most important and successful war of attrition which still continues in the south of Lebanon.
Yasser Arafat
We are not the Red Indians.
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
[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
I have a solution. I agree for the United Nations forces to be on the borders between me and them for any period of time. Okay? Ezer Weizman challenged me a few days ago to accept an Israeli - Palestinian confederation.
Yasser Arafat
The obstacle is the USA administration. I know there is a strong Israeli lobby in America, no doubt of it.
Yasser Arafat
Palestine is the cement that holds the Arab world together, or it is the explosive that blows it apart.
Yasser Arafat
The victory march will continue until the Palestinian flag flies in Jerusalem and in all of Palestine.
Yasser Arafat
