Arafat is proof that life is like no limit hold'em: If you stick with a bad hand long enough, someone will take all your chips.
Palestinians should of and could have settled their dispute any number of times in the last 20 year, and ended up with more than they have now. Yassar overplayed his hand, long after everyone at the table knew exactly what he had, and "his people" have ended up with very little.
They should celebrate his passing, because it brings them closer to actually getting SOMETHING rather that nothing.
