The death of Arafat

Submitted by Gabriel (Australia), Nov 13, 2004 at 21:07

I believe most Jews will regret the passing of Arafat in the future seeing he was the only Palestinian able to instill in the minds of the palestinians that they have to accept that there must be two states living side by side.
The hardliners and extremests that will struggle for power will not hold this view I am afraid.

I want to note that this comment is not politically motivated as I am neither Palestinian nor Muslim.
