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.

Once in 1979, [Zbigniew] Brzezinski gave an important slogan: "Bye-bye PLO." After two months, I was in Tehran saying to him: "Bye-bye Brzezinski." Who can imagine that America will lose one of its strongest bases?

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."

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.

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

Whoever thinks of stopping the uprising before it achieves its goals, I will give him ten bullets in the chest.
