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?

More quotes by 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
I swear to God, I will see [the Palestinian state], whether as a martyr or alive. Please, God, give me the honor of becoming a martyr in the fight for Jerusalem.
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
Whoever stands by a just cause cannot possibly be called a terrorist.
Yasser Arafat
I had support - I had started it, not to forget.
Yasser Arafat
Israel must withdraw from Jerusalem so that it becomes the capital of a state of Palestine.
Yasser Arafat
We will not bend or fail until the blood of every last Jew from the youngest child to the oldest elder is spilt to redeem our land!
Yasser Arafat
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
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
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
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
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
Palestine is the cement that holds the Arab world together, or it is the explosive that blows it apart.
Yasser Arafat
Did you follow what [General Yehoshafat] Harkabi wrote? Formerly of the Israeli military intelligence service. Remember him? Did you follow what he wrote? He said that it was for the sake of the existence of Israel that we have to accept the rights of the Palestinians to have their independent state.
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
Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand.
Yasser Arafat
Anyone who relinquishes a single inch of Jerusalem is neither an Arab nor a Muslim.
Yasser Arafat
The obstacle is the USA administration. I know there is a strong Israeli lobby in America, no doubt of it.
Yasser Arafat
Choose your friends carefully. Your enemies will choose you.
Yasser Arafat
We will make the lives of the infidels hell - millions of martyrs marching on Jerusalem.
Yasser Arafat
