"Unfortunately, little attention was paid to how Arafat ruled. In fact, some saw the harsh and repressive nature of Arafat's regime as actually bolstering the prospects for peace"

About this Quote

In this quote, Natan Sharansky is discussing the management of Yasser Arafat and how it was viewed by others. He keeps in mind that there was not much focus on how Arafat ruled, which suggests that people were more worried about the result of his management instead of the methods he utilized. Sharansky goes on to mention that some people even thought that Arafat's authoritarian and oppressive regime could possibly contribute to the success of peace settlements. This statement is rather thought-provoking as it challenges the conventional belief that a peaceful society can just be accomplished through democratic and reasonable management. It likewise highlights the intricacies of politics and the various viewpoints that can arise when examining a leader's actions.
