04/27/2008 | Arafat is gone and his successors are continuing his philosophy of no peace with Israel. Concession over concession have not done anything to appease the PLO, because the PLO would cease to exist if there is peace.

04/17/2005 | The problem basically lies with Sharon.
He is wanted by the international court of justice in Haag and he should stand trial, the sooner the better.

12/04/2004 | Kinda late for this strategy to work, unless by pressure you mean putting a couple of tons of granite on his grave.

12/04/2004 | How can he push for peace when he's dead? Maybe we could hold a seance and try to get his thoughts on the matter.

09/28/2003 | How much more pressure can you put on this guy?

09/25/2003 | Although I think it is will not make any good to pressure Arafat, it is the palestinian side that needs to be pressured, not Israeli. Terrorists have to be dealt with. Most of the countries in the world have a policy of not negotiating with terrorists. Why do they insist on forcing Israel to negotiate?

09/15/2003 | Pretty pointless. I mean, he is no worse than Sharon, but both men are completely corrupt and fanatical. Their idea of peace is for the other side to magically disappear. That isn't peace, that's genocide.

04/21/2003 | I agree with Tboneya that as long as Arafat is in power, this conflict will never have a prayer of being resolved. He tells his followers that the Jews are inferior and they have no right to the holy lands of Israel, and then those followers tell their children, who then grow up to tell their children the same thing- its a neverending cycle which literally breeds hate. As far as "pressuring" Arafat for peace, I don't think it would do anything to resolve this situation; it might even make it worse. He has no reason to listen to us. Hell, he has not done it for the past ten plus years. Hopefully the Palestinians themselves will get tired of violent resolutions and overthrow Arafat and replace him with some sort of young visionary who is a lover of peace and not war. "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."- JFK.

03/12/2003 | No amount of pressure placed on Arafat would acheive peace. The extremists run the show. Arafat is more of a figurehead leader who, even if he really wanted peace would have an extremely difficult time getting it because there are so many in his country who don't see peace as an alternative.

11/13/2002 | I don't know if this will work. I dont like Arafat, yet i dislike Sharon more. Arafat is just too darn old. He cant talk without slobbering or something, you think HE can control a nation. I just think that Palestine isn't wholely Terrorists, yet the Terrorists do it for themselves, they wont listen to Arafat, hes tried. They dont care. Im not sure if this solution will ever work.

09/26/2002 | That's the worst idea:
1.The Palestinians now have nothing to lose,then how can they give more?
2.putting pressure on every Palestinian leader and make him to lose their motherland,will never ever bring peace .

04/29/2002 | oh what a wonderful solution it could be. all the territory sudgestions given by the israeli governament were screwed by his side, so forcing him to do something can be a good idea, if he only had the power to control his own nation, he lives in a house surround by hostile forces, without electricity or phone line. he is the most pathetic leader of this century.

04/28/2002 | I believe that the long term policy for the United States to apply on Palestine is to begin to look for new people we can deal with besides Arafat. He's getting old and his influence with the PLO is questionable. He does have the authority to stop the homicide bombers, but Arafat is less inclined to do anything about it. But yet we need to set a pragmatic tone for diplomacy with the PLO; Arafat is the one we have to deal with for the interim period, so we must apply pressure for him to do all he can in his power to stop the terrorist bombings. Peace talks with the Israelis will not begin if they don't stop. I don't believe though that he is a reasonable person, so once we exhaust him, we must begin trying other people to negociate with. There are people in the PLO that will listen to suggestions on how to bring peace to the Holy Land. Peace must be achieved only if the Palestinians are willing to sit down and make realistic negociations on territorial rights.

04/23/2002 | I don't favor either of those two lunatics (Sharon or Arafat). Both of them are fools who should be kicked out of their people's cockpit before they got there and if we don't start putting pressure on them to push for something, this whole thing is never gonna get anywhere. What is this, a country or a game of Monopoly? Two leaders of angry groups of people fighting over little patches of land. Yea. I'm supposed to support wither of them...why? Arafat isn't doing any better than his pal Sharon and he needs to get his head out of the sand, his nose out of the air, and haul his body to the negotiating table. Take care, everyone!

04/22/2002 | As with my comment about pressuring Sharon, I think this could only be done as a both or neither proposition. In addition, does Arafat have the power to force a peaceful approach from the Palestinians? It seems that the power is much more splintered on that side of the conflict, and I would question whether he has the ability to command obedience from the more militant elements of the Palestinian community.

04/21/2002 | I don't think this will be very fruitful, but there is value to be gained by telling Arafat what he must renounce. The key is that we can't change this ever. Arafat must learn that there is no negotiating to be done until he meets a certain threshold of disavowing -- and helping capture -- the terrorists that work under him. Like I say, I don't think this will have any miracle outcome, but it might be effective in clarifying the intentions of the different parties involved in this mess.
