So, you have a source with a translation more favorable to your argument. Congratulations. Let's use your version, shall we?

[Pointing to a little girl, Arafat continued]: "This little cutie is the first of our soldiers

Doesn't sound to me like he's talking about peace. He's talking about sending women and children to die while he hides in his bunker. And it sounds like he just sent your big scheme up in smoke, as he's not even mentioning peace or coexistence with the Israelis. Sorry 'bout that.

Stop projecting

Stop pretending to be a psychiatrist. You're not doing any better at that than you are at being a statesman.

Sounds to me like Arafat is using hyperbole and jingoism to build up his sagging approval ratings with the Palestinians.

Sounds to me like he is good at it. Sounds to me like the same kind of rhetoric you've been spouting.

The point is simple; tone down the rhetoric, clean up the lies, myths and half-truths. The Israelis once held the moral high ground. Right now they are in a bind to claim evens.
