With so many news about Arafat doing terrorist stuff, I don't understand how he managed to get a Nobel peace prize... So... How did he? I wanna know!

By terrorizing those who give it?

I think it was because when he sat down with Jimmy Carter he promised to to attack the West Bank..At which the Nobel Peace people said that was a great stride towards peace.

After he got his award and $5000 he sent in suicide bombers and launched missile attacks on the Israelies.

Funny I don’t see any innocent Palestinian victim’s graves in that cartoon.
People tend to forget that there are always two sides to every story especially when one looks worse on the surface. The Palestinians are terrorists so the Israelis must be right.

The way he went about it was wrong, but Israel has been screwing Palestine for quite some time. After WWII the allies basically booted the Palestinians out of what was their holy land to give it to the Israelis because it was their holy land as well.

I mean you cannot blame people in Palestine for acting as terrorist, the west bank is one of the most densly populated areas on the planent, and the Isralies send tanks in fireing away at terrorists. Israeli troops have fired into Palestinian schools on several occasions and killed many Innocent people. So have the Palestinian terrorists, but they are not sanctioned by a government like Israeli military troops are. I am not condoning the terrorist’s actions mind you. But given their situation what do you really think you would do. You would fight back as best you could against a superior force.
Neither side is justified in what they have been doing. I just hope Arafat’s death will lead to some sort of peace, But I doubt it

As they say two wrongs do not make a right

Precisely. Now that one of the greater antagonists of those wrongs has passed on, perhaps now we'll have a chance to hammer out a peace accord that actually works.

Unfortunately Reaper doesn't point out that the Palestinians started the war and the Israelies were just defending themselves.

It's one thing to send tanks out to the boarders of your own land and lob shells into Palestinian space to keep them at bay...It's a completely different situation when you strap bombs to people or fill cars with explosives and run them into the middle of your city.

And yes I know the whole "Boot" the PLO got after WWII. It was actually more of a lateral transfer of Jews into the west bank and they wanted to worship there with the Palestines but the Palestines wouldn't allow them to so they had an uprising. They created their own skirmish because they couldn't share.

Arafat went to Camp David to meet with the Prime Minister of Israel...He had a list of demands and the Iraele Prime Minister gave into 95% of the list. Without ANY bargaining..He just said, "This 95% I'm ok with." Arafat said, "Fuck this." and left Camp David because 5% of his list needed some bargaining! There have been 15 Israele Prime Ministers...Each has tried to make peace with Arafat..Each has failed.

Again...Israel never forced its people to strap bombs to their chests...Arafat put bombs on CHILDREN...Little 9 year old girls would walk into the cities and level buildings. They even have film of a 16 year old boy who had a bomb removed from him via robot. The boy was mentally handicapped and Arafat took advantage of it.

So don't sit there and tell me the "Innocent" Palestinians weren't pictured in the cartoon. Defending yourself has NEVER been considered murder till the fucking Left Wing liberals decided ignoring bodily harm and saying it was OK. When you live in a city that is under constant sniper and terrorist attack AND you still have open boarders and are willing to live with your fellow man but one country can't tolerate it and you can honestly stand there and say, "We should stop killing the PLO because killling even in self defence is wrong." Then please meet me in a dark alley so I can do to you what Ma nature should have done years ago and STOP your evolution.
