I am looking to have a place under the sun for our new generations to live in peace far away from repression, from terrorism, to live as human beings freely in this free world. That is what I am looking for. I am not asking for the moon. I am asking for the United Nations legality to be implemented.

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

In order to obtain the goal of returning to Palestine, all of us sometimes have to grit our teeth.

[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 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.

Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand.

I am not Mr. Chairman. I am His Excellency, the President of Palestine.
