I don't legitimize the injustice of what the Nobel committee did. As for leader, there is no Palestine, so I don't know what he was the leader of except for a terrorist organization.

He is a terrorist. Israel is a nation and an ally. Saddam was the leader of a real nation. Arafat was a terrorist. Why can't the left admit it? Why glorify a anti-semitic babykiller?
