Oh, gee, he's the mother, the brother, the sister, the idiot...who the &*ll cares how it's termed he's one of the biggest of the modern terrorists. Now, run to his defence again, hurry, kiss Arafat's arse, please.
It is fair to call Arafat a vicious little 20th-century godfather of terrorism, though.
Arafat's only saving virtue is that he has always been too much of an insignificant little bird-crap to be any kind of real Stalin-League blood-drinker.
Never had himself enough State to murder a million, and thus think himself a god.
