i heard him being described as the palestinian equivalent of gerry adams and i dont want to get into a political debate but it sounds about right, saying that may he rest in peace

Yasser Arafat = LEGEND

[Éanna]

One of the great leaders of our time. He sought to fight for the rights of his people who were the subject of a genocidal campaign led by the United States and its puppet Jewish homeland "israel." He stood up for what he believed in, in the face of overwhelming adversity. He should be regarded as one of the most committed and respected leaders of our time, no matter what vicious rumours and spin are put on the matter by the US and its allies.

May he rest in peace

no matter what is said by either gun or dialogue, he championed the palestinian cause and fought for what was theirs.
