Well.....now let's hope that the fighting ends and Israel can take back what is theirs.
This is what Yasser Arafat had to say about Isreal "It's ours, it's ours, it's our" and "we need to push our enemy (meaning Israel) into the sea".
There wasn't any chance of peace while this guy was still alive, and there won't ever be peace in the area until the world ends.

Oh and by the way, the only way we get any news from overseas is by the media unless a family member is involved so we have to base all our opinions on what they have portrayed (unless we know someone who can tell us their version of the truth).
 
I don't particularly like taking joy in another human being's death.
 
I agree Neutrino. I'm never happy to see anyone died, no matter the life they lived.
 
This will make the whole israeli/palestine thing alot more violent...
 
The whole situation over there in israel can be blamed on christianity, without it, they would not fight over that land.

woah. I wonder what this will mean for Palestine?

what his leadership meant for the palastine ppl was death and destruction while his own bank account had over 200 million $ money he took from his ppl.

the terrorist is dead now i hope for the palastine ppl that there will be a leader who realy wants peace for the whole region
 
We aren't going to stop 1400 years of war with a little land deal in Israel. The middle east will be at war until some single power takes it decisively.

And yes I'm glad hes dead. He was a terrorist.
 
He was a fine man. He even received the Nobel Piece Prize.

maybe it should be. im not going to post my condolences for this asshat, why should i?
It's fine if you don't post your condolences, but that's no reason to post your uninformed, ignorantly biased view followed by a shoddy insult at someone's mum. What a great political debater you are "asshat".

You're wrong, he wasn't a terrorist. Hamas was a terrorist group and he wasn't part of that, but perhaps you're grouping him in with that because he's also from Palestine? How open-minded of you.
And that "single power" taking it decisively is the exact scary neo-Imperialist view that too many Americans adopt. It's sickening.

no, get your facts straight. The assination of Itzhak rabin in 95 by a right wing israeli was the downfall of the oslo accords. His successor Netanyahu (Peres lasted only a short while) kept pushing the israeli settlements into contested land (which were in direct violation of the accords, which further escalated the violence and undermined Arafat's work in getting the israelis and palestinians to the peace table ...exactly what the Israeli hardliners wanted) and eventually they fell out of favour
 
Ok I really need to watch the news more often, well I dont know much about him, but I have "heard" he promotes "terrorism". Palistine "terrorists" are probably the only terrorists I can actually agree with, they are resistance fighters, their country is occupied and Israil (spelling bad) ignores the U.N.
 
in the 90s (before and after oslo) i think it was obvious to anyone with a pulse that arafat was not committed to peace. he simply left camp david in 00, arafat would not say yes to the US/Israeli proposals and failed to offer his own, directly before he launched the intifada. is what what you call peaceful?

Clinton said: "What the hell is this? Why is she turning the mistakes we [ie, the US and Israel] made into the essence? The true story of Camp David was that for the first time in the history of the conflict the American president put on the table a proposal, based on UN Security Council resolutions 242 and 338, very close to the Palestinian demands, and Arafat refused even to accept it as a basis for negotiations, walked out of the room, and deliberately turned to terrorism."

Arafat said no. Enraged, Clinton banged on the table and said: "You are leading your people and the region to a catastrophe." A formal Palestinian rejection of the proposals reached the Americans the next day. The summit sputtered on for a few days more but to all intents and purposes it was over.

No, but he got it beacouse at that time (the mid 90s) he was thought to be a great leader and a peace-bringer to the mid-east. But remeber, we don't deal out the nobel peace-prize, the norwiegans do.
 
lol Im surprised to see you lot really give a shite, they could blow each other into oblivion for all I care.

That's very sad that you care about the fate of so many other human beings so much. You do realise that the situation in Palestine is just one of the many causes of the problems with Islamic extremist terrorism that so much of the world is being forced to fear.
I'd say that's pretty f*cking important.

no, you're using selective sources ..the accords negotiations began in 93, rabin was assinated in 95 and the accords crumbled from there. the camp david summit on the oslo accords had so canged the tenor of the accords that Arafat refused to sign. The agreement at the time was nothing like the one Rabin and arafat hammered out in 93

btw when Arafat was given the noble peace prize he said he was honoured but they shouldnt give the peace prize to people like him

By saying that you lose all your respect. You are no better than the terrorists you are blaming.
 
The bad thing, is that that Israel is taking over Palestine, I'd like to see what you do when some contry takes half of your country then kills your people and asks for more land....

im not using selective sources. clinton knew that the man was a buffoon, im not sure what the "infantada" is but the intifada started in 2000, im not sure where you're getting this 93 number. the whole thing was over by 92. arafat was directly responsible for the most deadly period of violence in israels history (outside all out warfare). how do you defend this idiot? he killed 427 civilians during this period in 6665 seperate attacks. how is that justifiable?

Palestinian Minister said:
In an article this week in the international Arab daily Al Hayat, Amer blasted the Palestinians for rejecting former U.S. president Bill Clinton's proposals, saying the Palestinians had lost everything they had achieved in the political process.

Entitled "An open letter to President Yasser Arafat," Amer accused Arafat of turning his back on both the government and partisan institutions and organizations such as Fatah and the Palestine Liberation Organization. Amer complained that in the last two years, the Palestinians had turned from a people with institutions and frameworks to "warrior groups in forests and climbing mountains."
