We are not the Red Indians.
Yasser Arafat
Image
We will make the lives of the infidels hell - millions of martyrs marching on Jerusalem.
Yasser Arafat
Image
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
Image
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
The Palestinian Rifle is ready and we will aim it if they try to prevent us from praying in Jerusalem.
Yasser Arafat
Image
It's always convenient for certain people to heap accusations on Israel.
Yasser Arafat
Image
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

Palestine is only a stones throw away for a small Palestinian boy or girl.
Yasser Arafat
Image
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.

I had support - I had started it, not to forget.
Yasser Arafat

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

The victory march will continue until the Palestinian flag flies in Jerusalem and in all of Palestine.
Yasser Arafat
Image
[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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I am challenging Ezer Weizman to accept the democratic state where both of us can live in this democratic state. What confederation? No. One democratic state. He declared one offer, I am declaring the other offer. With two communities.
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.

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

Let us be worthy of those who pin their hopes on us. May God bless you with success.
Yasser Arafat

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