As for my view in the situation, I see a nice fight between several Palestinian groups. And that means death. So yeah, I think things will get worse.
Hey, look on the bright side... at least they'd leave us alone.

but I do consider the fact he abandoned terrorism and tried with politics.
He didn't abandon anything. He still planned and organised many bombings and other terrorist activities... it's just that he also dealt with other leaders, and 'led' the Palestinian Arabs.

Arafat had an incredible ability to lie. He was superb at it, while also being extremely double-faced. He was all smilin' and nice on the outside, talking to foreign media... and when he came back, he was all 'Allah hu akbar, kill all the Jews, take Jerusalem!!' etc etc. Of-course, for some reason, the foreign often ignored that.
