Yasser Arafat

Yasser Arafat had many controversial actions and ideas, and he was considered an unlikely mix between peacemaker and terrorist. He was a very important leader throughout a large portion of the Arab-Israeli conflict, as well. Throughout his career, he caused a lot of tension between Palestinians and Israelis. Yasser Arafat was a Palestinian extremist who had many contributions to the Arab-Israeli conflict like the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the Oslo Accords, and his status throughout the years. Yasser Arafat was born in Cairo, Egypt, but lived in Jerusalem for 4 years until he returned to Cairo. While he was still a young teenager, he smuggled weapons to Palestine to be used against the Jews and British. Even as a young child, he still had a strong dedication to Palestine.…

Yasser Arafat: Father of Modern Terrorism “I come bearing and olive branch in one hand, and a freedom fighters gun in the other. Don't let the olive branch fall from my hand.” This was Yasser Arafat’s most famous quote spoken when he addressed the United Nations. This was his life, a constant battle to try to gain that olive branch, freedom for Palestine, through way of the freedom fighter’s gun or war. He was fighting a losing battle, losing more men than Israel was. Yet through all this he…

priorities and sticks to them, backing them with resources to carry them out” (318) and that “No area of leadership should escape constant reexamination to make sure it is aligned with the purpose” (319). In chapter 15, Giuliani says, “Bribe only those who will stay bribed” (324), or as Reagan said, “Trust but verify” (324). He explains that he will make deals with people even if he doesn’t agree with them ideologically or even if he doesn’t like them, but only “So long as they keep their word”…

it seems as though they want the agreement to signify the end of the intifada, or “peace,” and not a long-term solution. The agreement even emphasizes the point that “at the end of the second year, negotiations would be held regarding a permanent agreement” (304). The book frames the accords as very tentative and without a clearly defined plan. Given the fact that these accords are meant to be only temporary, it’s no wonder that the signing was both “imbued with hope and not a little…

Have you ever wondered how Palestine became occupied? How people suddenly started calling it Israel? I was shocked to see that because of the occupation in my country, Palestine, my grandparents had to flee the country, and how some people refer to it as Israel instead of the true name Palestine. Yasser Arafat was the founder of the Fatah. He spent most of his lifetime fighting Israel and that is why many Palestinians admire and respect him. Arafat died at the age of 75 from a mysterious blood…

Argumentative Essay In discussions of the Palestinian and Israeli conflict one issue has been the rights to the land? On one hand the Israelis argue that it had been their land since before biblical times. On the other hand, Palestinians will contend it is and always has been their land and refuse to give up without a fight. My feelings on this issue are mixed. I do support the Israelis on retrieving their land if in fact it was theirs to begin with, but since there is no proof whose land…

and the depressing deaths of thousands of innocent civilians. Next, considering the efforts to bring the two countries to peace, Palestine and Israel would still continue fighting and ignore the extensive efforts to make peace. In an autobiography about Yasir Arafat it states, “Although many Israelis and Palestinians were still skeptical about the peace agreement, the general feeling in Israel, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank was one of relief and hope for the future. That lasted until the end…

Palestinians and Israeli people have been in a conflict for over 70 years over land. Many politicians have been searching for answers to the conflict, with the most prominent ‘solution’ being called the two-state solution. The two-state solution is the idea the Israel and Palestine are going to sign peace treaties and split the land they’ve been fighting each other for in half. The idea of Palestine and Israel getting along is strange, considering that while Palestinians don’t hate Israeli…

The response of both men and women within nationalist groups, forced members of PFWAC to reconsider the possibility of achieving equality, justice, and rights both as women and as Palestinians. The questions raised by the response of nationalist groups created a binary in which Palestinian women could either be Palestinian or be women. In other words, Palestinian women could advocate for their rights as Palestinians or as women, but never simultaneously, the ability to advocate as Palestinian…
