He served himself and his Caucasian widow quite well ...

The population of 700,000 mostly Christians and Muslims doubled in 15 years with European refugees who looked down on the Arabs and mocked them.

Not bad for a gay Egyptian dude.

Yup.
What they offered Arafat was a bunch of disconnected bantustans. Jewish only settlements already dominated the West Bank.
Arabs are considered Caucasian.

Yeah, and "Palestine" is only getting smaller. Tick tock.

You’re full of shit.
Bill Clinton, “My Life,” on Arafat’s rejection of Clinton proposal for Palestinian statehood: “The deal was so good I couldn’t believe anyone would be foolish enough to let it go.” “Perhaps he simply couldn’t make the final jump from revolutionary to statesman.” “Right before I left office, Arafat, in one of our last conversations, thanked me for all my efforts and told me what a great man I was. ‘Mr. Chairman,’ I replied, ‘I am not a great man. I am a failure, and you have made me one.’” “Arafat’s rejection of my proposal after Barak accepted it was an error of historic proportions.”
Saudi Prince Bandar on Clinton proposal for Palestinian state (Accepted by Israel): “If Arafat rejects this, it won’t be a mistake, it will be a crime.” “There were always opportunities, but they were always lost”
Bandar speaks out: the changing landscape in the Mideast

Very few revolutionaries go on to become successful statesmen ... Mao, Lenin, Robespierre, Pol Pot, all leaders of very successful revolutionary movements, went to drive their states into ruin.
To quote P.J. O'Rourke --
"It's easy to burn down the shithouse. It's a lot harder to install plumbing".

Ahmad Al-Sarraf, “Israel is committed to democracy while we refuse to even speak of it. Israel has given minorities rights that citizens in Arab countries do not even dream of. Freedom of worship exceeds any Arab or Islamic country.”

I'm surprised you don't know more about Arab surnames.
The Nazis demonized the Jews and sometimes Jews helped them.

Again, why should Arafat accept the theft of his country, which is what ANYTHING other than sending the Zionists Squatters back to Europe would entail.
I use my metaphor. YOu are living in a nice house, and in the middle of the night, I break in and force you out of your house and make you live in the unheated garage.
Are you going to suddenly be grateful because I let you have the garage and pay you a pittance to do yard work?

The fundemental lie of Zionism is "A land without a people for a people without a land."
By your logic, Begin, Ben-Yahuda, Golda Meier and all the other Zionist leaders were European, they didn't belong there, either.
Why should the Palestinians accept any peace deal which doesn't involve ALL their land being returned?

Arafat was Egyptian, you ******* moron. Born and educated in Egypt, and was in the Egyptian military.

Um, so what?
His father lived in Egypt, but the Egyptian government refused to recognize him as Egyptian.
Arafat was a Palestinian. You guys keep trying to pretend the Zionists didn't steal anyone's land, but you did.
