First I am not defending the actions of Arafat. But I really don't see the point in celebrating the death of someone. Especially someone who by many is considered a hero. Everyone should at least acknowledge that Arafat is responsible for bringing the suffering of the palistinian people to the world stage. Everyone knows about this conflict. Does everyone know what is going on in the Ivory cost right now? Does everyone know what is going on in Kashmir? How about Chechneya? We have people suffering around the world at the hands of many different evils. Arafat made this a world issue so people could not just ignore it.
He has done many bad things but at the same time he has done many good things. In the end how will he be judge? That is up to God not me.
****Bible refrence just ignore if you are not christian*****
Romans 14:4 teaches us not to critisize others in the end we all stand before our lord and he will judge us.
********************************************
Celebrating his death is mearly spitting on the palisitinian people. Doing this will not help them at all. This is a time that nations can either move in the right direction by forgeting their differences and work together. Or we can laugh and point fingers at them and only make things worse.
Tell me do you really thing celebrating his death is constructive?
