Yasser Arafat
Palestinian leader
Sayings by Yasser Arafat
I am a soldier, and I will die as a soldier.
Revolution until victory!
I am not a terrorist. I am a freedom fighter.
We are not asking for the impossible. We are asking for our legitimate rights.
Without Jerusalem, there will be no peace.
I am telling you, I am still in the trenches, defending the Palestinian people.
To be a revolutionary, you have to be a dreamer.
We will achieve victory, God willing.
The Palestinian people are not alone. They have the support of all free people in the world.
I am for peace, but not for surrender.
We are seeking a just and lasting peace, not a temporary truce.
I carry the hopes of my people in my heart.
The struggle will continue until the Palestinian flag is raised over Jerusalem.
They want me dead or a prisoner or expelled.
I am confident that our people, with their will and determination, will triumph.
No one can break the will of the Palestinian people.
They want to force us to surrender. We will never surrender.
I am not a symbol. I am a human being.
We will sacrifice our souls and blood for you, Palestine!
This is our land, and we will defend it to the last drop of blood.
