The end of Israel is the goal of our struggle:

1972: "The end of Israel is the goal of our struggle, and it allows for neither compromise nor mediation... We don't want peace. We want war, victory. Peace for us means the destruction of Israel and nothing else."
Arafat interview with the Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci in 1972.

1977
"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism."
In an interview with the Dutch newspaper "Trau" (March 31, 1977), PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein said:

1994: "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."
Arafat at Johannesburg 1994 while the Oslo Accord peace talks were in the air.

[Mohammed used the trick of a temporary truce (Hudna; permitted in Islam) to make a treaty called the Hudaibiya Treaty with the Jewish Koraish tribe. But, in 628 C.E. at the Khaidar Oasis, Mohammed killed them. Arafat often claims that the Oslo Treaty is similar to the Hudaibiya Treaty which Mohammed violated with impunity when he was militarily stronger.]

So, Arafat, Abu Mazen, Sharon and Peres meet in the Muqata. Is this the opening of a new joke? No, it's soon to be reality. After all, they promised, things will be much better after the war on Iraq.

Think Again: Yasir Arafat By Dennis B. Ross
In 1974, Yasir Arafat, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), declared before the United Nations that he came “bearing an olive branch and a freedom-fighter’s gun.” Nearly 20 years later, the world still does not know if Arafat is a statesman dedicated to peaceful coexistence with Israel or a resistance leader dedicated to armed struggle.

Camp David and Arafat: How did a peace process that started with such high hopes end with an intifada? What really happened at Camp David? Former foreign minister Shlomo Ben-Ami kept a diary there; in a conversation with Ari Shavit, he reveals, for the first time, why the stormy negotiations ended in failure

The real enemy of the Palestinian people is not the Israeli's but Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Al Aqsa Brigade and Yasser Arafat.
