       SPECIAL ARUTZ-7 NEWS SUPPLEMENT
                
ARAFAT IN STOCKHOLM * * *
Two weeks ago, Arutz-7 first reported of a speech that Yasser 
Arafat gave before Arab diplomats in Stockholm. A few days later 
the Norwegian "Dagen" confirmed the speech, based on its own 
sources. On Sunday, Feb. 25, the Swedish weekly "Magazinet" also 
published excerpts from the speech. Yesterday, it became known 
to our news room that the Investigative Division of the IDF 
Intelligence Branch circulated among its personnel a transcript 
of Arafat's speech almost identical to the version first 
published by Arutz-7. For the benefit of many subscribers who 
have requested, we reprint our first report:

Yasser Arafat estimates that the final stage agreements between 
the Palestinians and Israel will ultimately bring about Israel's 
collapse. Arutz-7 has learned that an unpublicized meeting 
between Mr. Arafat and Swedish based Arab diplomats took place 
during Arafat's recent visit to Stockholm. Mr. Arafat's reported 
remarks, entitled: "The Impending Collapse of Israel", opined 
that the massive import of Arabs to "the West Bank and 
Jerusalem", and the psychological warfare the Palestinians will 
wage against the Israelis will cause a massive emigration of 
Jews to the United States. "We Palestinians will takeover 
everything, including all of Jerusalem," Arafat declared, 
claiming, "Peres and Beilin have already promised us half of 
Jerusalem. The Golan Heights have already been given away, 
subject to just a few details."  He further claimed half of the 
Russian immigrants to Israel are really Muslims, and after the 
expected civil war in Israel erupts, these Muslims will fight 
for a united Palestinian State." 

Arafat, revealing his plan for the Palestinian takeover of 
Israel, said:  "We of the PLO will now concentrate all our 
efforts on splitting Israel psychologically into two camps. 
Within five years, we will have six to seven million Arabs 
living on the West Bank and in Jerusalem. All Palestinian Arabs 
will be welcomed by us. If the Jews can import all kinds of 
Ethiopians, Russians, Uzbeks and Ukranians as Jews, we can 
import all kinds of Arabs to us. You understand," he added, 
"that we plan to eliminate the State of Israel and establish a 
purely Palestinian State. We will make life unbearable for Jews 
by psychological warfare and population explosion; Jews won't 
want to live among us Arabs."

In a plea for pan-Arab support, Mr. Arafat told the Arab 
diplomats: "I have no use for Jews; they are and remain Jews! We 
now need all the help we can get from you in our battle for a 
united Palestine under total Arab-Muslim domination!"

Mr. Arafat's meeting took place on January 30th, in Stockholm's 
Grand Hotel shortly after an official state dinner in his honor 
sponsored by Sweden’s Foreign Minister in the hotel's "Der 
Shpigal Salon." We do not have a recording of the event, nor an 
official protocol of the meeting, if it were as reported. 
However, following  an investigation in the matter that we 
conducted over the past few days, reliable Swedish sources as 
well as Murray Kahl, editor of Israeli & Global News, have 
confirmed the content of the meeting. Moreover, Ms. Annika 
Soder, director of the Press Division of Sweden's Foreign 
Ministry told Arutz-7: "...The [Arab] ambassadors, as we call 
them, were not in the official program, but I heard that he 
[Arafat] met them in the hotel after dinner."
