Not a tyrant? He stole billions from his people who languished in poverty.

His deputy Abu Mazen (now PA president Mahmoud Abbas) controlled the funding of the Munich attacks at the 72 Olympics, according to Abu Daoud, who in his book also asserted Arafat approved of the idea.

Abbas also wrote his ‘thesis’ in which he claimed cooperation and collusion between Zionists and the Nazis and challenged the reality of the Holocaust.

Throwing some peanuts to the troll:

Most scholars of the Palestine Liberation Organization now agree that attacks like the one in Munich were designed by Yasir Arafat’s rivals to shift power away from moderates and into the hands of more radical factions. - PROF. PAUL THOMAS CHAMBERLIN

Tyrant implies sole ruler. Arafat’s PLO seems to be a mult-faction group - more like a mafia 5 families type organization that a one man ruled top down organization with Arafat probably afraid of being killed by a Palestianian faction just as much as from an Israeli hit team.
