You’d think he was still the leader and just gave this interview last week since the struggle for liberation is still going on in 2023. May Allah be pleased with our fearless brother Arafat.
Arafat was such a character. He would be devastated at what has happened to his people since his passing. I hope one day Palestinians can have a country and be able to honour him.
some of the things he said at the interview have so much value, for instance when speaking about the way of the settlers established in 1948 and what happeed since then.
well honestly nothing actually changed from both sides since the civil war ended in May 2009. Leaders from both sides have no constructive long time plan to maintain peaceful and stability in the Island. The government is not interested in identifying Tamils and recognizing their fundamental rights. It is actually a mess. overall there is no actual cross fire for now but people just surviving.

@@usernameis9157 He was close with Rajapaksa, because he thought Rajapaksa was native Srilankan race and Prabakaran was immigrant race. But its the opposite. Prabakaran was Eelam Tamil native Srilankan race, and Rajapakse was converted Telugu immigrants who later identified themselves as Sinhalese race. Sadly Yasser Arafat did not realize this fact.
Arafat is and was always my hero, he advocated for my motherland's (Namibia) independence. And the mention of Namibia by him in this interview shows that he had us in mind always. Rest well my hero.
We find in reality though, this: Despite the proliferation of employees, Arafat still made most decisions himself, down to the tiniest details. To take but one example, senior PA officials needing small sums of money to travel to neighboring Jordan could not get the disbursement without Arafat’s signature.45 As one public figure in Gaza explained in August 1994, one month after Arafat’s arrival: "_There is no mechanism that functions in Gaza as it should. One person holds all the authority, and he sticks his nose into each and every detail.... Anybody who needs to install a telephone needs his signature. Anyone who wants to set up a company or further a particular interest has to have Arafat’s approval._" Under these conditions, corruption flourished, fueled not only by run-of-the-mill venality but also by a systemic political motivation: Bolstering loyalty to the man who stood atop the PA hierarchy.
@@michaelb1348 You make no sense. If you live in Palestine no amount of money changes the fact that you are living in occupation/oppression. Money does not take that fact away.
There is nothing more beautiful than listening to an interview with a brave and intelligent man. There is nothing more enjoyable than hearing about the desire for peace from a warrior man. A natural fighter. This is how Arafat and all the men of the Palestine Liberation Organization were. The Palestinians will never forget this man.

Peace is made by enemies, and almost always by generals. Peace is not made between friends. And when you make peace with your enemy it does not turn you into friends, at least not immediately. But enemies can respect each other. This is what Mandela taught us. On coming out of his 27 year imprisonment, he could have ordered the fighters of the ANC's Umkhonto We Sizwe, its military wing, to kill every white man and woman in sight. He didn't; and many ANC cadres today still believe the road to peace as misguided, that they made too many compromises and that they should have continued fighting. But both sides realized that a military option was just not viable. Even then, many remain bitter and embittered. But Mandela and his colleagues felt a need to rise above their enemies. You can make peace without losing sight of your principles, but doing so while honoring your fight for freedom, and staying true to the principles of a liberation struggle. As the saying goes, making peace requires a courage that rises with danger. Not many have that kind of courage.
I am Greek and in 1923 when Greece gave up its irredentist ambitions to reclaim all of the Byzantine Empire. Pm Venizleos singed a treaty that required that 1.5 million Greek Orthodox people who had been living in Turkey for 100's of years were moved in a population exchange to Greece. Many did not speak Greek beyond the liturgical Greek we all learned attending Church. And 400-500,000 Muslims were removed from Greece, very few speaking Turkish. Neither group was allowed to return to their original location. It was painful, and difficult. But Greece had fought a War for Independence from The Ottoman Empire in the 1800s for 10 long years and won back most of the land on the mainland. In the Balkan Wars in the early 1900s, Greece gained back much more. The conflicts leading up to the agreement led to the slaughter of some 800,000 Greeks and at some point, there has to be peace so that each nation can go forward, develop, and care for their people. It's not easy. My grandmother lived through the Balkan Wars in the Epirus which finally became part of Greece. It was a long ugly struggle. It takes great courage to forge a solution and move forward.
How he's leadership, cool head and experience is missed, especially in the current horrific situation in Israel. may Allah SWT grant him a high place in Jannah.

In 2000, President Clinton sat down with former Israeli Prime Minister Barak, Yasser Arafat, basically offered Mr. Arafat 94, 96 percent of the West Bank and he said no, and in effect died a terrorist rather than the first leader of a Palestinian state. What gives us any hope that the Palestinians will make any concessions which can bring about a true peace?

“Do you think Palestine can live peacefully in two states resolution? This reporter made the same question in different forms over and over and over. And Arafat reply was always, yes.

Yet Arafat ate him alive ;) Thanks for the video.

Also we shall never forgot how Palestine stood with south Africa during their apartheid unlike any other country. Palestine we stand with you.
Wow, what a genuine nice guy. Rare to see people like this in politics. Makes me think tho, if this guy couldn’t get peace, then who could possibly do it…

What sense is he making? He is promoting violence, rejecting peace and calling for the annihilation of Jews. This strategy caused great misery for the Palestinians.

Now, this is real journalism. What is the interviewer's name? One of America's best !!! My brother, Tommy Wayne Wheeler, was on the American USS Liberty Navel Ship AGTR-5, 1967 6-day war that was bombed by Israel. A book by James M. Ennis Jr., and documentaries about the American ship, what happened?The attack lasted for more than two hours by the Israelis killing 34 Americans and wounding 171 others and inflicted 821 and machine guns holes in the ship. And when the Liberty stubbornly reamined afloat despite her damage, Israeli forces machined - gunned her life rafts and sent helicopters to finish the job, At this point, with the Sixth Fleet rescue aircraft was in route, the government of Israel apologized and the attacking forces withdrew. Only then did the identity of the assailants be known. Details were hussed up by both countries. The Johnson administration covered it up with Israel. That 6-day war is when the Golan Heights were taken over. All the American Navel Men had to swear under oaths, never to say what actually happened. Thank you, for reminding me.
You should research who invented the Word Palestine. The Romans did It. Palestinians were Jews, Muslims and Christians in that Area. Arafat reinvented the Word just to fit his Agenda and Antisemitism. By the way Arafat is a disgrace for every Muslim.
Fascinating that the interviewer acknowledges that Palestinian resistance is totally non-violent, but they were still being gunned down by the IDF and its settlers. No wonder he asks how long can Palestinians maintain that strategy.
He was not an ideal man, but he worked hard, struggled, and tried a lot. This man tried to move his people from the stage of persecution and occupation to the stage of freedom and independence through struggle and peace, but Zionist intransigence and American-British complicity were an obstacle to achieving his dream of serving his people. May God have mercy on him and peace be upon his soul

He definitely seems like a great guy. Rips my heart out that he probably was poisoned, as advised by his doctor and many experts.
but you're just a 1 in a million
I respect your honesty✌️
Greasy, like a snake though. Untrustworthy.
@@uploadJ yup.
He was a larger than life character!
Such leaders are much needed today for muslims
He was such a muppet
He wants to "resist" instead of making peace and living together in harmony
@@marioluigi9599yeah he is resisted occupiers you are Zionist puppy
...not just Muslims!
Revolutionary leader who advocated for peace among Israeli and Palestinian people. He was a true hero for the independence of oppressed nations.
In 2000, President Clinton sat down with former Israeli Prime Minister Barak, Yasser Arafat, basically offered Mr. Arafat 94, 96 percent of the West Bank and he said no, and in effect died a terrorist rather than the first leader of a Palestinian state. What gives us any hope that the Palestinians will make any concessions which can bring about a true peace?
hes just one of those "from jordan to the sea" guys.... wanted me dead@@uploadJ
@uploadJ Terrorist lmao, everyone who's against western interests is a terrorist.
And 96% of the west bank is still not 100%, would your county except 4% of their land getting taken away?
@@uploadJI’m pretty sure he didn’t advocate for a two-state solution. “Dying as a terrorist” is a crazy, racist assumption to make just because he didn’t want to appease neoliberals.
@@uploadJ You do realize in that same deal Netanyahu bragged about sabotaging that deal? lmao
Arafat: a great leader, comrade and a statesman.
a murderous psycopath , made millions , closet gay like most modern leaders. brought death , disaster and poverty to his people . Israely arabs despise him
Great leader. Allah grant him janah
Naeam!!
he became a billionaire by stealing foreign aid he is a murderer a theif and didn't help his people at all with his corrupt government
and if replacement isn't any better
“Do you think Palestine can live peacefully in two states resolution? This reporter made the same question in different forms over and over and over. And Arafat reply was always, yes.
Except when he was offered everything he wanted he said no and sent a few suicide bombers
Never wanted 2 states , he just loved the spot light
Sadly till this day they keep asking the same questions.
even tho israel ask them for peace and to make a palestinian state in israel and they didnt want it?
They have never shown to be able to though

اول واحد خائن وكذاب ياسر خرافات ابو شلاطيف
We need more poeple like him. ❤❤
Möge Jassir Arafat in Frieden ruhen!
Ich habe Arafat immer als Palästinenserführer sehr geschätzt.
I am a Palestinian, and I am proud everyday more and more, Palestine will be as Arafat planned for us and more!! his school is living in us, and his name and achievements will always be remembered, Rest in peace Abu Ammar!
Hi, I am Christian and would like to know more about what a jinn is because I just found out about them the other day.
@@DonnaChamberson I am sure the Christian-Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh who was shot by an Israeli sniper could answer that question.
As a naieve young boy I always liked him, but also believed the media frame. As an older man I see a great human being and an oblivious, nobody journalist. Im sorry if I still sound naive, but look at the setup for this interview. Mr Interviewer is behind a big shiny desk, while the leader of a people is sitting on a chair.. Yet Arafat ate him alive ;) Thanks for the video.
Agree. I came to see Arafat a clown and left as he was actually up to something in his life. Absolutely credible to me...
The operative issue is that Arafat and the rest of the PLO were caught off-guard by the First Intifada.
He was a brilliant, charismatic man. The world could do with his philosophy today.
Rest in peace Mr. Arafat 🇵🇸🙏🏿
He had HIV too
Whatever 👌🏿
Good man and fighter. Stood strong till the very end. We all have to fight for justice and remain strong like this great man. One day the chickens will come home to roost and the people responsible for the evil acts will be held accountable. All of us regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, need to unite under common decency and principles. We all have to live on this earth, let's stop being counterproductive and turn this shit hole we call earth into a paradise like it should be. It's not easy but we cannot be so pessimistic. Yasser Arafat didn't quit and we shouldn't either. Justice for Palestine and all people on this earth!
it was aids that killed him ...no?
@@ruthjacobs2714 Polonium. Aids was a convenient smear by western media, even though it lacked proof. It was later proven to be false.
@@briy427 It is a possibility that both HIV and Po could have been used in a poisioning.
@@ruthjacobs2714 The mossad put polonium 210 in his underwear and toothbrush. Then Arafat's doctors turned on him and said they couldn't find the cause and the hospital in Egypt said they couldn't find the cause and the hospital in France at the last minute tested him for polonium 210. They were all in on the killing of Yasser Arafat.
@briy427 Are you muslim?
He was so smart answering all technical question!!
Arafat will always remained my Hero
Such a good and decent man
Who stole millions and put them in swiss banks
@@jasperchance3382 exactly. He was a narcissist who loved attention more than the Palestinian people
a murderous psycopath , made millions , closet gay like most modern leaders. brought death , disaster and poverty to his people . Israely arabs despise him
@@jasperchance3382
Also killed thousands in Jordan and Palestine and Israel lol
Sorry Mr. Arafat. Nothing's changed!
rest in paradise my dear brother. if today Yasser Arafat was alive Israeli and the entire world would be on their best behavior when it comes to palestine and the entire world. To those of you who are ignorant about the genocide of the Palestine kindly educate yourself Nelson Mondale: " Our freedom is incompletely without the freedom of the Palestine. I know we can trust the words of a man like Nelson Mandela who spent close to 30 years in life for the freedom of his people. Also we shall never forgot how Palestine stood with south Africa during their apartheid unlike any other country. Palestine we stand with you.
Wow, what a genuine nice guy. Rare to see people like this in politics. Makes me think tho, if this guy couldn’t get peace, then who could possibly do it…
He was very far from a nice guy. You consider Adolf Hitler a nice guy too?
He was a good man. They don't make many good guys anymore 😪
The concept he got is good I found out that Israel have British puppets.
I think that the world would be better with people like Mr. Yaseer in positions of power and I'm sorry that he is not around anymore.
he was involved with a bloodbath coup in Jordan, Lebanon and terrorism against civilians abroad. He was a piece of work
Is it a fact? I didn't know that. @@iillii5
Fredom Palestina from Bosnia
I have heard his name many times in the nineties but I was a child and I did not understand what was happening or who he was. I acknowledge that I had a piece of me that thought badly of home him without ever hearing him speak. He is making so much sense here, and the interviewer is a lazy fool.
Same. I grew up thinking he was Osama bin laden.
@haraldisdead actually he was worse than bin laden
Arch terroris
What sense is he making? He is promoting violence, rejecting peace and calling for the annihilation of Jews. This strategy caused great misery for the Palestinians.
It is a shame that the Palestinians don't have leaders of this calibre any more.
I like how he compared American people democracy and American Administrator Democracy of being dishonesty in the human world. What a an amazing character and peaceful man he was. May Allah Almighty give him mercy and attain him paradise. Ameen
Just as kool as his smile is and jokingly, the same when he stop smiling & gets serious.
Arafat haters were motivated sometimes by ignorance, sometimes by bigotry toward Palestinians.
Or maybe they lost loved ones to his terrorism?
@@davehersh667, so it's terrorism if Israelis die but it's fine if Arabs die? So you're saying that Palestinian children don't matter?
@@youtubesketches110
Never said that....so spare me with your strawman arguments and go pester someone else.
Buh bye
He was a raving homosexual
@dougbarker2227lol he agreed for 2 state solution he was different from other freedom fighters who supported the peaceful process then went for arms struggling against Israel never agreed for 2 state solution peace process with pm yitzhak Rabin Israel is called him traitor & killed him😂
a man of peace - Yasser Arafat
a murderous psycopath , made millions , closet gay. like most modern leaders. brought death , disaster and poverty to his people . Israely arabs despise him
Jesus fuckign christ, not at all man.
WHAT PEACE
India will always muss you.🙏🇮🇳
World doesn’t need you Arafat
This guy always looked like such a fun dude. As opposed to most other arab leaders.
Poignant words of truth 😢
We need more like him
More terrorists?
One group's "Terrorists" is another's "FREEDOM FIGHTERS"
Btw...American Revolutionaries were regarded as "Terrorists" by 🇬🇧.

Now, this is real journalism.
What is the interviewer's name?
One of America's best !!!
My brother, Tommy Wayne Wheeler, was on the American USS Liberty Navel Ship AGTR-5, 1967 6-day war that was bombed by Israel. A book by James M. Ennis Jr., and documentaries about the American ship, what happened?The attack lasted for more than two hours by the Israelis killing 34 Americans and wounding 171 others and inflicted 821 and machine guns holes in the ship. And when the Liberty stubbornly reamined afloat despite her damage, Israeli forces machined - gunned her life rafts and sent helicopters to finish the job, At this point, with the Sixth Fleet rescue aircraft was in route, the government of Israel apologized and the attacking forces withdrew. Only then did the identity of the assailants be known. Details were hussed up by both countries.
The Johnson administration covered it up with Israel.
That 6-day war is when the Golan Heights were taken over.
All the American Navel Men had to swear under oaths, never to say what actually happened.
Thank you, for reminding me.
Jim Lehrer
Arfat is not only hero of Palestine. I believe Arfat is hero of Muslims all over the world. May his soul rest in peace.
You should research who invented the Word Palestine. The Romans did It. Palestinians were Jews, Muslims and Christians in that Area. Arafat reinvented the Word just to fit his Agenda and Antisemitism. By the way Arafat is a disgrace for every Muslim.
If only Arafat was able to live to see the liberation of all of Palestine ;(
we were so close
Fascinating that the interviewer acknowledges that Palestinian resistance is totally non-violent, but they were still being gunned down by the IDF and its settlers. No wonder he asks how long can Palestinians maintain that strategy.
The Palestinian people need an Arafat today
He stole their money
He was not an ideal man, but he worked hard, struggled, and tried a lot. This man tried to move his people from the stage of persecution and occupation to the stage of freedom and independence through struggle and peace, but Zionist intransigence and American-British complicity were an obstacle to achieving his dream of serving his people. May God have mercy on him and peace be upon his soul
Yasser Arafat....a beautiful man. Wish you're still here.
#FreePalestine
this is probs the best chan on YT
35 years later and its worse then ever
✌🏼🇵🇸
Such a beautiful human been . May God grant you janet el firdaus
A thief and a murderer
@@jasperchance3382 What did he steal? Who did he murder? His entire life, his land was stolen from under his feet by illegal settlers and Israel. His entire life, his people got murdered. Are you joking? You are a clown.
@@jasperchance3382 Your words are very funny. You are the one who created the revolution and the Palestinian national identity. You are one of the dogs of Hamas
Abu mazeen listen for this beautiful personality ❤
dont forget that everything he said change in 1991, he saw likelihood with the jews and oslo agreements still are influencing this conflict positively
Now you listen to this guy and listen to the leader of Israel. Which one sounds more human to you? Which one is fighting with heart? I can assure you that Israel is fighting for power and money.
General Salute to Yasser Arafat. The western world did and will do everything in its power to paint and depict men like Arafat. Gaddafi. Sadam as evil, but it is the western world that has perpetrated more evil upon the earth than the devil himself. Bless you always brotha Arafat.

34 years and nothing has changed...
“They’re the OCCUPIERS, THEY’RE THE OPPRESSORS’
Very well said Chairman Arafat!!
Never paid attention to mr Arafat... Looks like a good man
How frustrating, the occupied people are the ones under ridicule not the occupiers.
Such a liar. He was willing to say whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear.
It's bizarre how this doesn't sound like an interview, this sounds like an interrogation..There is a very different standard for an Arab leader vs. a Western leader.
Western leaders don’t usually wish the death of millions of people
@@joebissu6478
Both sides wish the death of millions of people .. let's just check pure facts, He recognized Israel and got nothing in return! Did Israel recignize Palestine? and why not?? Because they never belived in palestinian state! They played a victim for decades while they are just facists.. The world is no longer taking lies from Israel or Western Media ..
I love this guy priminister no! To bad this man was not still alive!
Think of the bloodshed the world would’ve saved had Israel and Arafat, been able to work a deal out.
