No. The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict existed prior to Yasser Arafat's involvement with the PLO. However, Yasser Arafat was one of the individuals most responsible for the numerous terrorist actions perpetrated by the Palestinians in their quest to achieve statehood as well as one of the strongest advocates for the Palestinian People.

Yasser Arafat dedicated his life and pursuits to creating a Palestinian State using tactics and approving actions that directly led to numerous Israeli and American Civilian Deaths. To some, he is justified as a freedom fighter. To others, he will always be a terrorist.
