Date May 15, 2002 Occasion Arafat Speech at
the Palestinian Legislative council in Ramallah
Peace was and will continue to be our strategic
choice
But just a few Minutes later, he says
Let us remember the Houdaibiyya Conciliation
Accord out of our concern for the national and
pan-Arab interest of our people and nation
3
Houdawhat ?
What is this Houdaibiyya Conciliation ?
Will someone just explain ?
4
A brief lesson in history
628 A.D. The Prophet Muhammad, then at Medina,
signs a 10 year pact with the Koraish tribe of
Mecca.
Muhammad who understood he is unable to conquer
Holy Mecca, sought a pact, even with painful
concessions.
This agreement was the Houdaibiyya pact!
Muhammad removed the words Messenger of Allah
under his name, making it an inferior peace
agreement, meant to be broken.
630 A.D. Muhammad breaks the agreement, attacks
Mecca and slaughters the Koraish tribe !
5
QuestionWhy does Arafat mention this
Houdaibiyya agreement so often ?
AnswerHe is speaking in codes, fully understood
by his constituency.
What he is really saying is We will get strong
and then we will destroy Israel !
6
This is not new
Hes been saying it all along
His lieutenants were saying it repeatedly
Even after they committed, in the 1993 Oslo
agreement, never to use violence again
We just did not listen !We did not understand
the codes !

Date May 4, 1994
Occasion Israel and the PLO sign the Cairo
Agreement
Speaker Late Israeli PM, Yitzhak Rabin
We are embarking on this new course with great
hope, with great desire, and know that it
contains wonderful opportunitiesBut let us try
to overcome the bad memories and the obstacles in
order to light a new, unique, historic horizon,
an opportunity which may never come again for a
different life, a life without fear, a life
without hatred
Date May 10, 1994, 6 days later(!)
Occasion A gathering in a mosque in
Johannesburg, S. Africa
Speaker Yasser Arafat, just coming from Cairo
This agreement, I am not considering it more
than the agreement which had been signed between
our prophet Mohammed and Koraish, and you
remember the Caliph Omar had refused this
agreement and considered it a despicable truce.
8
But sometimes Arafat is less careful
Date August 6, 1995
Occasion A party to celebrate the birth of his
daughter
"Jerusalem is the capital of the state of
Palestine whether someone likes it or not, and
whoever does not like it, let him drink from the
sea of Gaza" (Source Palestine Broadcasting
Corporation) Note Arafat consistently denies
any connection of the Jewish People and
Jerusalem. He claims the Jewish Temple was
really in Nablus
Date September 7, 1995
Occasion Arafat speaks at a reception in Gaza
"Be blessed, O Gaza, and celebrate, for your sons
are returning after a long celebration. O Gaza,
your sons are returning. O Jaffa, O Lod, O
Haifa, O Jerusalem, you are returning, you are
returning." (Source Maariv) Note Red
cities are inside pre-1967 Israel !
9
Meantime, Israel, under PM Peres, continues his
withdrawal, ignoring the incitement and terror
Date November 19, 1995
Occasion Arafat speaks after the IDF leaves the
city of Jenin
"Liberated Jenin is just the first step. This
year, we shall pray under the Palestinian flag in
Bethlehem and we shall also pray in Jerusalem."
(Source Davar Rishon)
But what do his people understand?On that same
day, Suleiman Adwan, a Palestinian policeman,
speaks
Jenin is the first nail in Israel's coffin. We
will agree to leave here only the dead Jews who
are buried here. ... With the help of Allah, all
the land of Palestine will be liberated. The Jews
must return to where they came from, to their
diaspora.... Abu Ammar Yasser Arafat visited us
and spoke with us... Abu Ammar also thinks as I
do. In the long run - he will get all of
Palestine. He will not give up on one inch of
Palestinian land... I don't want to continue
living in Gaza or Jenin. My place in Palestinian
is Beersheba." (Source Davar
Rishon) Note Beersheba is inside pre-1967
Israel !

2 months later, Stockholm, Sweden
Date January 30, 1996
Occasion Arafat meets Swedish-based Arab
diplomats in Stockholms Grand Hotel, revealing
his big plan
"We of the PLO will now concentrate all our
efforts on splitting Israel psychologically into
two camps. Within five years, we will have six to
seven million Arabs living on the West Bank and
in Jerusalem. All Palestinian Arabs will be
welcomed by us. If the Jews can import all kinds
of Ethiopians, Russians, Uzbeks and Ukrainians as
Jews, we can import all kinds of Arabs to us.
And Arafat adds
You understand that 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 Jews won't want to live among us
Arabs." 
And he summarizes
"I have no use for Jews they are and remain
Jews! We now need all the help we can get from
you in our battle for a united Palestine under
total Arab-Muslim domination!" (Source
Israeli Global News, Channel 7, Norwegian DAGEN
newspaper)
11
Now, if you would be an Israeli, you would be
uh worried a bit about your peace partner at
this point, wouldnt you ?
Especially when Arafat is putting his words into
actions, unleashing his Hamas beasts to prey on
innocent civilians
Feb 25, 1996 - 26 people were killed, 80 wounded,
In a suicide bombing of bus No. 18 near the
Central Bus Station in Jerusalem.
Feb 25, 1996 - One person was killed by a suicide
bomber outside Ashkelon.
Mar 3, 1996 19 people were killed, 6 wounded,
In a suicide bombing of bus No. 18 on Jaffa Road
in Jerusalem.
Mar 4, 1996 20 people were killed, 75 wounded,
outside Dizengoff Center in Tel-Aviv.
12
Just a few days after these atrocities, this is
what Arafats leading negotiator and a cabinet
Minister, Nabil Shaath, had to say
"If and when Israel will say, That's it, we
won't talk about Jerusalem, we won't return
refugees, we won't dismantle settlements, and we
won't retreat from borders,' then all the acts of
violence will return. Except that this time we'll
have 30,000 armed Palestinian soldiers who will
operate in areas in which we have unprecedented
elements of freedom."
(Source speaking at a symposium shown on
Palestinian television. (The Jerusalem Post, 15
March 1996) )
- Wait a second Isnt this the guy who always
whines on CNN and calls for peace? - Oh, yes,
on CNN he speaks in English, not in Arabic!
13
But Sadly Enough, as described by Ehud Yaari,
Israel Television's premier Arab Affairs reporter
and commentator
"The government of Israel already has, for
example, full confirmation of the accuracy of the
words Arafat has been quoted as saying in his
meeting with Arab diplomats in Stockholm. He
spoke there, as reported about the 'psychological
pressure' and 'demographic pressure' that will
cause Israel to crumble in the end, and its Jews
to run for cover. For reasons of momentary
convenience, the Peres government chose not to
challenge Arafat on his vision of the New Middle
East. In the Israeli press, the item was pushed
to the bottom of the inside pages.

Date May 25, 1997
Occasion Arafat interviews to the Russian Novoya
Vremya
Is it possible that the Palestinians will return
to the armed struggle?Arafat Anything is
possible. Including the armed struggle?Arafat It
is not possible to foresee what will happen to
the entire region, not just in Palestine. The
entire region is in danger and on the verge of
complete chaos, as a result of violations of the
peace agreement by Israel. In your opinion, is
Hamas a terrorist organization?Arafat The Hamas
movement is one of many patriotic movements. Even
its military wing?Arafat Even its military
wing. One should not forget that the movement
took an active part in the intifada.
15
Date April 8, 1998
Occasion Arafat interviews to Egyptian Orbit TV
Arafat explains to the interviewer that his
actions are in line with the Palestinian National
Council decision adopted in Cairo, on June 8,
1974.
This is what the Cairo PNC decision says
Paragraph 2 to create a Palestinian state on
any territory vacated by Israel
Paragraph 8 to use the state as a base for
mobilizing a general Arab assault on Israel
For a full text of this plan, please refer to

16
And on the same interview, on April 18, 1998,
Arafat returns to his favorite example
When the prophet Muhammad made the Houdaibiyya
agreement, he agreed to remove his title
"messenger of Allah" from the agreement. Then,
Omar bin Khatib and the others referred to this
agreement as the "inferior peace agreement." Of
course, I do not compare myself to the prophet,
but I do say that we must learn from his steps
and those of Salah a-Din. The peace agreement
which we signed is an "inferior peace".
And he adds
We respect agreements the way that prophet
Muhammad and Salah-a-Din respected the agreements
which they signed
And he concludes by saying
I envy the martyrs and I hope to become one of
them
17
Date May 10, 1998
Occasion Interview with the East Jerusalem
newspaper Al-Quds
Do you feel sometimes that you made a mistake in
agreeing to Oslo? Arafat No... no. Allah's
messenger Mohammad accepted the al-Houdaibiyya
peace treaty and Salah a-Din accepted the peace
agreement with Richard the Lion-Hearted."
Note Arafats favorite image is Salah-a-Din, the
Muslim leader who, after a cease-fire, declared a
Jihad (Holy war) against the crusaders, massacred
them, and captured Jerusalem.
18
Date November 16, 1998
Occasion Fatah movement rally in Ramallah
Speaker Yasser Arafat
Context Soon after signing the Wye River accord
with Benjamin Netanyahu
"When we chose the peace of the brave the Oslo
Wye accords, we chose it with trust in the
Prophet who agreed to the treaty of Houdaibiyya
and we have chosen this agreement."

Watch and the Israel Resource News Agency.)

Date October 13, 2000
Occasion Friday sermon at a mosque in Gaza
broadcasted live on Palestinian Television
Speaker Dr. Ahmad Abu Halabiya, Member of the
Palestinian Authority-appointed "Fatwa Council"
Context After the Palestinians opened the
violent riots, refusing to compromise based on
the Camp David proposals of PM Ehud Barak
"Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they
are, in any country. Fight them, wherever you
are. Wherever you meet them, kill them. Wherever
you are, kill those Jews and those Americans who
are like them - and those who stand by them -
they are all in one trench, against the Arabs and
the Muslims
Even if an agreement of Gaza is signed - we
shall not forget Haifa, and Acre, and the
Galilee, and Jaffa, and the Triangle and the
Negev, and the rest of our cities and villages.
It is only a matter of time
We will not give up a single grain of soil of
Palestine, from Haifa, and Jaffa, and Acre, and
Mulabbas Petah Tikva and Salamah, and Majdal
Ashkelon, and all the land, and Gaza, and the
West Bank
20
It has been 9 years since Oslo
Thousands of people were killed, wounded, maimed,
widowed
Numerous accords were signed, none respected
And the Arafat Peace Plan is still based on
Houdaibiyya
