How will this affect Palestinian/Middle Eastern politics? I'm curious, but I don't know enough about Gaza strip politics to say much at the moment.

That's what I thought. Apparently he's been succeeded by the Palestinian Speaker - I'm not sure of his political 'agenda', but I'm certain that current tensions in the Gaza strip are going to intensify, which isn't a good thing.hiphophorray123 said:

ah they already named the new leader of the PLO
but i dont think generally we should worry about arafat anymore nor praise him.......at this moment there is the potential for chaos in a number of different forms

was he an israeli?

No you are right to an extent.
He was VERY moderate, he was very willing for peace. And was willing to give Israel ALOT more than it deserves for it, but he was still popular and very loved.
I mean put yourself in his position, there is little he could do, he is in charge of one of the weakest countries in the world vs the only non Secuirty Council Permanent Member with more than 200 nuclear warheads, and the 9th most powerful military.
No matter what peace he offers he was rejected.

For expert treatment of his condition. Apparently there were no doctors of high enough expertise available nearer than Paris to treat him.dark_angel said:

the israelis treated him like shit.............probably caused of his death, although hes had one foot in the grave for awhile now............he was banned from leaving his house or something.....living in crap conditions........anyway he went to get treatment...........didnt he?dark_angel said:
Yeah he went, the Israeli's won't even let him be buried in Jerusalem. Despite the fact that under international law half of it is Palestinian. He is being buried in Ramalah instead.joujou_84 said:
You should hear the crap the ISraeli spokesman was spewing about Arafat "He is the godfather of bin Laden and al Quida." Give me a fucken break.

from wat ive read over the past few yrs.............he seems like a pretty shit leader................gave up fighting for the freedom of his ppl so he can profit from his alliance with israel............played on both sides (pretending to support his ppl and pocketing from the israeli government)..........he seems to be the reason for all the trouble...........ahh they need a hezbollah in palestineAsquithian said:Im not sure if you would call him moderate...from what i know he was a terrorist who supported suicide bombing...of course there is fault on both sides. BTW when he died he had over 1 billion dollars of foreign aid in his own bank
what a great leader

He was no terrorist...there was resolutions 3314 and 3013 in 1974 which said that terrorism can not be labeled as such if it is conducted by a movement caliming to fight for self-determination or against a racist or colonial regime. Effectively meaning that calling Palestinian movements "terrorist" is incorrect.
I would like to see some sort of source on the 1billion figure, but moreso i would like to know how it is unusual to have a surplus.
