I thought he was born in Cairo, though I could be misremembering."I read a book twice as fast as anybody else. First, I read the beginning, and then I read the ending, and then I start in the middle and read toward whatever end I like best." - Gracie Allen -

Israel recognized that Arafat did not directly control Hamas. They asked for EFFORT to crackdown on Hamas which never came. In fact the Israelis have accused Arafat of cooperating with Hamas in a game of good cop bad cop. Even if you dont believe that, its clear he never moved decisively against Hamas, even adjusting for his availble means to do so.Originally posted by Proteus_MST
I don´t think that Arafat was the Problem for Peace with Israel.
It were the palestinian terrorist Organizations. Arafat contols/controlled only Al Aqsa, but had absolutely no control over the other Orgaizations like Hamas, which were the really active Organizations behind most of the Bombings.
Therefore I don´t think that Arafats death will bring the palestinians closer to peace.
Sharon will demand that the Palestinians stop their terrorist attacks as a prerequisite to peace. But as any new palestinian leader will have no influence on the terrorist Organizations (probably less Influence than Arafat had) they won´t stop bombing
and therefore Israel, too, will continue to assassinate palestinian terrorists in palestinian territories."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

Up to 1919 Gaza was part of the Ottoman empire. It then was part of the League of Nations Palestine mandate, the UK being the mandatory power. In 1948 it was occupied by Egypt - I dont think they ever annexed it.Originally posted by The Mad Monk

The major headline on the Israeli news : "Arafat is still not dead".
Well, you would've also found it funny had you too sleeped through the "He's dead" rumor period.
