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.

The victory march will continue until the Palestinian flag flies in Jerusalem and in all of Palestine.

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.

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.

[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.

We do not want to destroy any people. It is precisely because we have been advocating coexistence that we have shed so much blood.
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

The Amman Agreement failed because there was American pressure, and Israeli pressure, on Jordan to deal alone.
Yasser Arafat
Image
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

It is another face in the new atmosphere of many leaders inside Israel. No doubt it is something new. Actually, Ezer Weizman is a Palestinian. He was born in Haifa.

All religious wars are about people arguing over who has the biggest invisible friend.

We are not the Red Indians.

If there is any Arab problem we can solve it inside the Arab League. But we are going to deal with the other side, with the Israelis.... It is not me who will decide who will invite, to speak frankly. It is not me, it is not the Arab side, it is not the Israelis who will decide who will invite.

Whoever thinks of stopping the uprising before it achieves its goals, I will give him ten bullets in the chest.

I am not receiving orders from Ariel Sharon.

I can't let it pass when you say: You are the weak party. No, I am not the weak party. I am the man who is making the war. I am the man who is making the peace.
