Sure he was, he wasn't the choice of the British since he allied with the Nazis against them.[/quote ]
Yes, he was appointed by the British. He changed sides.
No, because they initiated the Six Day War in 1967 by amassing troops on Israel's border and threatening an invasion.
The Zionists initiated the war by attacking them first. Pre-emptive strikes are aggression- and illegal, of course.
They also initiated the war in 1956 over Suez.
Suez was no a zionist/Palestinian conflict.
How?
Arafat was the one who launched the intifada, and his widow said it was a mistake:
The intifada wasn't an aggression, it was a response to Sharon's aggression- as Sharon fully expected.

How could it have been Sharon when he wasn't even PM when it started (Ehud Barak was). Barak was the one who made the peace offer to Arafat that was rejected.
That peace offer would have led to commercial and business development in the territories, all at Israel's expense.
All Arafat had to do was accept the deal and end the terrorism.
Guess what he chose?
