Reporter Barry Schweid of AP really believes Arafat “renounced violence.”
Arafat took over the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1967, after Israel decisively beat the Arabs in the Six-Day War. The Palestinians’ leader ever since, he has renounced the terror tactics that the PLO used for decades and has agreed to coexistence with Israel. He became head of the Palestinian Authority established under the Oslo accords in the 1990s.
