From hearing Netanyahu speak, I would say he's middle of the road leaning left. With Arafat, I don't have a clue. Netanyahu is usually called a conservative. He probably would favor more state control of the economy then many people in the Democratic party in the US, but Israel is more socialist then the US, and his ideas would result in the government exercising less control of the economy. He is for a strong defense and would be considered hawkish in terms of how he would deal with the Palestinians at least by the Israeli left. As for Arafat I'm not sure if he fits well on the scale of liberalism and conservatism. His statements ideas and actions are not primarily motivated by either idea, but I'd hardly call him a centerist. I don't know what I would call him except perhaps a terrorist, or a liar. He's very two faced, he talks peace in English but talks about driving Israel to the sea in Arabic. Tim
