Yasser Arafat Military Quotations

This was a very successful agreement, ... It is a very important start to achieve real peace and to avoid military activity.

complete and immediate cessation of all military activities ... especially suicide attacks.

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

We shall never stop until we can go back home and Israel is destroyed... The goal of our struggle is the end of Israel, and there can be no compromises or mediations... the goal of this violence is the elimination of Zionism from Palestine in all its political, economic and military aspects... We don't want peace, we want victory. Peace for us means Israel's destruction and nothing else.

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.

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.

It is true that we are under occupation, but we are not the weaker party. We are the military force which Israel failed to defeat.
