There was more money in The Struggle
That and Arafat didn’t want to end up like Anwar Sadat who made a peace deal with Israel and ended up dead a short time later.
I believe one of the people involved in the assassination of Sadat ended up being the #2 in Al Qaeda Ayman Al Zawahiri...

Yes, victimhood pays rather well. From what I remember, Arafat had quite a stash in France. And he wasn’t the only one.
They’ve been quite good at smashing the pinatas of the west.

Indeed. Leftism is not about results. It’s about ‘The Struggle’. That’s why you can never placate leftists by acceding to their demands. Doing so would mean The Struggle has ended, which is not allowed, so they will immediately reframe their demands so The Struggle can continue. The Struggle is where money and power are.
Because Arafat was against it, doesn’t mean the grass root people would be. America at its peak should have give the nod to given them part of Jordan, or another piece of land. Even the lands of the West Bank or Gaza. Everyone deserves a place to call their own. It is time that Israel, becomes this Is real.

Unfortunately, that’s what drives most of this. The “leadership” gets rich while everyone else gets killed or left homeless. Imagine the graft that will come with the $billions necessary to rebuild Gaza. Those leaders of Hamas that resided in Qatar were all reportedly billionaires . Wonder how they acquired it all.
