Fatah offiical glorifies Arafat; "The struggle [will be waged] through all of the types of operation, not just the rifle"

Official PA TV, on the 13th anniversary of the death of former PLO and PA Chairman Yasser Arafat, interview with Fatah Central Committee Secretary Jibril Rajoub

Fatah Central Committee Secretary Jibril Rajoub: "Our culture and idea as Fatah members, led by our teacher and master, the great Yasser Arafat, [is] that the struggle [will be waged] through all of the types of operation, not just the rifle – the rifle, university, school, coach, athlete, and everything that is connected to the components of a state. When you come to talk, you talk about someone who thinks – he doesn’t resist in order to take revenge, he resists because he wants to triumph. He resists because he wants to live. I think that this is one of the secrets of Yasser Arafat’s greatness, and we need to adhere to this…"

Jibril Rajoub also holds the following positions: Head of the PLO Supreme Council for Sport and Youth Affairs, Chairman of the Palestinian Football Association, Chairman of the Palestine Olympic Committee, and Chairman of the Palestinian Scout Association (PSA)
