After the victory of the revolution, Yasser Arafat came to Imam. I was with Imam along with a few others. At that time, Imam told Arafat: "If you want to save the Palestinian nation, the way is not to go to the Soviet Union or America or to this court or that court, but to trust in God and take up the sword. God is your supporter and the nations will help you." If they had paid attention to Imam's words, the Palestinians would not have become refugees in various Arab countries.
