Yasser Arafat Israel Quotations

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.

Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war, a war which will last for generations.

It's always convenient for certain people to heap accusations on Israel.

We will make the lives of the infidels hell - millions of martyrs marching on Jerusalem.

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

Israel must withdraw from Jerusalem so that it becomes the capital of a state of Palestine.

What Kuwait did to the Palestinian people is worse than what has been done by Israel to Palestinians in the occupied territories.

Since we cannot defeat Israel in war, we do this in stages. We take any and every territory that we can of Palestine, and establish a sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, we can get the Arab nations to join us for the final blow against Israel.

The Palestinian people have no national identity. I, Yasser Arafat, man of destiny, will give them that identity through conflict with Israel.

Peace for us means the destruction of Israel.
