^The end does not always justify the means. Believe me, im the last one on this site to defend Israel, but giving someone the nobel peace price who condones violence as a way to obtain freedom, is more than contradictory.

Yea, well they are the aggressors, but it has become a vicious cycle, where innocence is rare on both sides. And its not like Arafat brought profound and long-lasting change to the table, thats my whole point, i just don't think he deserves a prize, assigned for the preservation of peace.
