The forgotten speech of Yasser Arafat
Arutz Sheva ^ | 28/12/22 | Barry Shaw

After Yasser Arafat signed the Oslo Accords on the White House lawn in 1993, he committed himself to another peace agreement, the Gaza-Jericho Agreement with Israel, which he signed. On his way to be readmitted into Judea and Samaria (aka 'West Bank') by Israel he spoke at a mosque in Johannesburg South Africa in May 1994, after signing this second agreement and just days before Israel withdrew from Jericho as a further peace gesture.

This speech was secretly recorded by a South African journalist and was subsequently broadcast on Israeli radio.

This is part of what he said…

.....

“What they are saying is that Jerusalem is their capital. No, it is not their capital. It is our capital. It is the first shrine of Islam and the Muslims.”

Referring to the Oslo Accords he had signed, Arafat said,

“This agreement. I am not considering it more than the agreement which had been signed between our Prophet Mohammad and Quraish.”

For those unfamiliar with the Quraish event, here is the story: The Jews of Mecca defeated the army of Mohammad, and reached an agreement with him. He later returned in greater strength and slaughtered them after they had left themselves defenseless by believing that Mohammad was a man of his word.

.....

And this legacy continued when Arafat was replaced by Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas said, “Every martyr will reach paradise, and every wounded will be rewarded by Allah!”

He also has said, “Every drop of blood spilled in Jerusalem is pure blood as long as it’s for the sake of Allah.”

And “Blood must be spilled because the Jews are desecrating the Islamic holy places “with their filthy feet.”

The Philistine Liberation Disorganization claimed he was poisoned but Yessir was a butt-pirate who died from AIDS.

I wonder how much different Soetero’s speech, the one that the LA Times has a copy of but won’t release, is compared to Arafat’s.
