Here's some thoughts on Arafat from somebody else on the left, much maligned around here also. I was searching for one particular article, but quite a collection came up.

Yes, I know that Said broke with Arafat when Arafat signed Oslo, and has criticized him harshly since. So?

Peres and co. were arrogant fools to think they could maneuver Arafat into working for peace, but it's not as if the Israelis had a lot of choice who to negotiate with -- "sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people" and all that. There is also the fine Palestinian tradition of calling anyone willing to work with Israel a "collaborator" and shooting him. They shot a thousand Palestinians for that during the first intifada.
