I'm not sure what to say about your Hamas example. If Hamas called him their representative, he's still not Palestinian.

1./What do you call few folllowers, ie how are you measuring a follwoing?
2. Arafat was from Egypt, what some might call, Egyptian. The problem is there is no Palestine and never was. It is a made up distinction of Arab. Jordian or Transjordian might be more apt.
