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

Whoever stands by a just cause cannot possibly be called a terrorist.

The obstacle is the USA administration. I know there is a strong Israeli lobby in America, no doubt of it.

In order to obtain the goal of returning to Palestine, all of us sometimes have to grit our teeth. But it is forbidden that this harm the continued struggle against the Zionist enemy. Cooperation and understanding between the P.L.O. and the rejectionist organizations is what will lead to the speedy retreat of Israel from the occupied territories in the first stage, until the establishment of a Palestinian state with its capital in Jerusalem. Only a state like that can then continue the struggle to remove the enemy from all Palestinian lands.

The Palestinian Rifle is ready and we will aim it if they try to prevent us from praying in Jerusalem.

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."
