Passing of Arafat

I thought back in 1993, with the famous handshake between Yitzak Rabin and Arafat, with Bill Clinton in the background, that Arafat was changing his ways and becoming a man of peace. It got me optimistic.

Until I learned later that Arafat has rejected peace deals that could've been a roadway to a Palestinian state. I also learned that Arafat rules over the Palestinians with an iron fist. So much for Arafat being a great man.

But anyways, I really hope that one day Palestinians and Israelis can live in peace, where Israelis dont have to be worried about suicide/homicide bombings and Palestinians dont have to worry about being racially profilled by Israeli authorities.
