Ok, I got your POV but, he had a good reason to do so, after Yitzhak Rabin was shot, there erupted skirmishes by Israel first, now, I'm not exactly sure about this, but considering I was too young to actually understand it, & I only got references from history books, after the shooting incident by the right movement. The right side took order & what have we here?? Skirmishes & which resulted in people saying the skirmishes was a fact that the peace accord was a failure. y'know very well that the right side wants all-out war & exterminate Palestine. TBH, I don't get why you guys are bashing Yasser Arafat. You guys should've also blamed Israel for not staying true to the peace accord. Arafat tried his best to control PLO, but some of them defected & decided to go to war. Remember, "War creates War, Pain creates Pain, Hatred creates Hatred". It was because of this cycle, the peace accord failed. It was also most likely that he was being pressurized to send suicide bombers. Besides, not all of them were working for the government. Some of them did it on their own.
So, let's see if I got it straight. It's all Israel's fault (it always seems to be), they had it coming, and to the extent that it was a bad thing Arafat's not to blame. Gotcha.
And I don't remember the "right side" calling for extermination. I do, however, remember Ahmadinjead's repeated statements to wipe Israel off the map. I do know that they use Hezbollah as a proxy to fight Isreal. I also know Hamas's constitution has the eradication of Israel written into it. I also remember the skirmishes of last year actually began because Hamas had been firing rockets into Israeli territory and that the ones before that, with Hezbollah, began after Hezbollah did the same thing.
The one with Hezbollah, if I recall, also came after Israel ceded land and in response to the gesture, Hezbollah used the ceded land to shoot deeper into Israeli territory. Yet, it both instances its Israel that got criticized for a disproportionate response with some in the U.N. trying to light them up for war crimes because of it, as if they're just supposed to sit there and take it. So Arafat can send suicide bombers in response to Israel action, but Israel is banned from defending itself unless its using the U.N. approved method? He gets a peace prize, they get war crimes charges. Sounds about right for the international community.
I'm also aware that while most of the Arab nations egg the Palestinians on and fund groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, they (except for Egypt and Jordan) also refuse to let them anywhere near their country.
