Well, I'm hopefull that with Arafat dead someone else will take over negotiations with Israel that is either more willing or better able to bring a cease-fire. This could be the beginning of peace, not its end.

I completely agree. I don't think that Arafat was a horrible guy, he did what he believed was right and a lot of people have opinions on that. I personally don't really like the guy but its hard to deny the fact he was open on some occasions for peace treaties and tried to keep order in a place where at times that can be hard. Hopefully the person to replace him will be more open to creating peace. Thats all anyone can hope for.
By the way, this is coming from a Jew.
