It was widely known in the West that Yasser Arafat was someone who sexually abused children.This odious terrorist; this is the man who sabotaged the possible peace agreement with Israel after having gained 90%+ of the concessions he claimed he wanted.
It was beyond satire when this egregious individual was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 1994.
In certain ways he reminds me of Arthur Scargill - without the child abuse - whose actions were seemingly all about his personal objectives rather than to help mineworkers. It is difficult to see how any other conclusion could be drawn.
By the same token, one might ask just what Arafat achieved for Palestinians?
