Didn't care much for him in life. Despite him not deserving it in my eyes, I still hope he finds peace in the afterlife.

There are two potential problems as far as I see now for Israel. No1 wholl replace him. No2: will it help peace at all. As far as I'm concerned, and I'm hardly a expert, there will never be peace as long as that Arab hating Ariel Sharon is prime minister of Israel.

Ariel Sharon is forcing Israeli pioneers to move from Gaza... erm, as a plot... erm, to take over more land... by withdrawing... expanding... by contracting... erm... *explodes on bus full of Jewish children*

True, a commander who killed thousands of innocent palestinians shouldn't be the leader of a democratic country.
The truth is that Isreal is preventing the peace process.

Seeing as the myth of 'Palestine' and the 'Palestinian people' started with Arafat (a gay Egyptian), it will die with him.

Just out of curiosity mr "Arab Nazis", where are you in the world? There used to be a country there, until just after worl war 2, that was named Palestine. With a Arab, not a Israeli population. So I ask you quite simply: What myth?

The laughable 'Palestinian' identity was invented in the 1960s - before then the Egyptians / Jordanians etc who now claim to be 'Palestinians' never identified as such. Palestine is a myth. It has never existed as a country and it never will.

(To any mods that might read this: Sorry about going to borderline flaming, but I need to drive a point in.)
Aparently someone either didn't read my post, or ignored the point. THERE IS NO MYTH! The Israelis kicked out the Arab population of that country back in 1948. A country that thousands of Arabs had fought, and died, to create back in World War 1. Read your history of the region, sir, rather than throw completely unfounded accusations like that.

Actually i think you'll find that the Palestinian identity was created in the years after the carving up of the Ottoman empire after WW1...along with Syria, (Trans)Jordan, Iraq and (Saudi) Arabia. They are all Arab states but they developed their own identity as they progressed towards independance from their mandate holders, especially Palestine given its issues involving the actions of the British and the arrival of large numbers of Jewish migrants.
They certainly DO have an identity.
