Arafat is dead.
There is finally a chance for a resolution to the Palestinian question. I used to be pro-Israeli (probably because of my hatred of terrorists) but as I've grown older my view has probably gotten more balanced. The tactics that Israel uses today wouldn't have been out of place in a Nazi occupation regime.. they are becoming the thing they most hated. They need to reach an accord with the Palestinian people soon. For their own sake as much as that of the Palestinians.
It's sad to think how many have died because Arafat both initiated wide-scale terrorism and then refused numerous peace deals. Good riddance to him.
