You could be right, I don't know much about him historically (although I doubt a man like him could ever deserve a Nobel prize). I was talking about the recent years though, when things were escalating.

Of course not, but would anyone blow himself up or put his family's well being at risk for a non-crucial piece of land, if it weren't for religion? It's an excuse for psychological things, but it IS an ultimate excuse.

Because God said the land of Israel belongs to the Israelites or some b/s like that.
LOL @ Fukafly's post.

It's "Israelis" (Israelites is a biblical term). And I can't see how Arafat could maintain a "political peace", seeing as there was none (and as he supports terrorists).
