The slanderous "Terrorist Label" which was heaped upon this great
leader by the likes of Ariel Sharon and George W. Bush, shall be
ignored for what it was, basically lies from two of the worlds
biggest war criminals.
In his speech to the United Nations in 1974, Arafat answered this
charge eloquently:
"The difference between the revolutionary and the terrorist lies in
the reason for which he fights. For whoever stands by a just cause
and fights for freedom and liberation of his land from the invaders,
the settlers and the colonialists, cannot possibly be called
terrorists... As to those who fight against just causes, those who
wage war to occupy, colonise and oppress other people, those are the
terrorists. Those are the people whose actions should be condemned,
who should be called war criminals; for the justice of the cause
determines the right to struggle."
Note:
Yasser Arafat will always be remembered for his wearing of the Palestinian Kofiya, the symbol of Palestinian Resistance. Iy you would like to obtain an Kofiya or other great products made in Occupied Palestine, here are two wonderful links.
