He Failed His People and Ours
(Jerusalem Post) David Horovitz - Arafat certainly forced the fate of the Palestinians into the global consciousness. But his refusal to disavow terrorism has certainly thwarted their push for statehood. It was Arafat who, in his disinclination to confront Hamas and other terrorists, gradually destroyed the Israeli majority's Oslo optimism. The award of the Nobel Peace Prize a decade ago was testament to international hope and expectation, rather than confidence. He will be mourned by precious few, even of the Israelis who had wanted to see him as a peace partner.
