1) Yes , he finally got himself , actulally
not for him but for his people , a
country. Maybe that what he wanted
and not to destroy Israel ?
2) When he started negotiating with the
Israel's representors, the greatest side
effect of that (beside ending the Fatah
resistant ) was a recognition In the
existent of the country Israel in Israel.
You can't negotioate with an entity that
doesn't exist , can you ?
3) When finally Palestin will be rise , any
violent act of the Palestinians
wouldn't be of an individual act , but
a violent act of a country , which is the
same as declaring a war. Then we'll
have the world's support on our side
and a legitimacy to protect ourselves.
He knows that in that war , he can only
loose. He knows that when Pallestin
will be rise , the Israeli-Palestinian
disagreement will have to end.
4)Finally here's a carzy thought for you.
Maybe the Palestins has more
important thing to do than fight.
Maybe they are after all human beens
and want like anyone else to be able to
live quitely in honor , to work , to have
their calture and a country.Just maybe ?

The Fatah organisation was founded
in the late 1950s with the aim of
liberating Palestine from Israeli control.
Since , 50 years passed , and a lot
had changed on both sides.
The Fatah , these days , is no longer
small terror organisation , so does its
leader (who just earned a novel price
for peace , eather you like it or not).
I agree with you that arguing of Arafat
goals is pointless.
