“One, the difference between Anwar Sadat and Yasser Arafat. Anwar Sadat not only came to Jerusalem as a peacemaker, but got on Egyptian television and told his people why it was in their interest to have peace with Israel, and basically led them and educated them about that. Yasser Arafat, I am going to read this quote that he basically said today, right now. This is the quote. ``But we ask Allah to grant us martyrdom. To Jerusalem we march, martyrs by the million.'' This is the English translation from al Jazeera, but the word martyr is shaheed. And the true translation that every Palestinian understands by that word is suicide bomber. Literally suicide bomber. It is the equivalent of what we would say kamikaze, and we know what a kamikaze means. Shaheed, the Palestinians know what it means. So he said to Jerusalem we march. Suicide bombers by the millions. To Jerusalem we march. Suicide bombers by the millions. When Yasser Arafat left his compound on May 3, it really is not martyrs in the millions, the true translation as Palestinians said the words and understand the words, suicide bombers in the millions.”
