re: #113 Prononymous, rogue demon hunter

a growing number of moderates within the P.L.O. — most notably Arafat — were putting out feelers about the prospect of a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian dispute..

Okay, this is a quote from the article saying that Arafat was among the moderates. How does the author get to that statement? Arafat was a murderer, and he enjoyed giving the orders for murder. So, there are problems within the article, created by its author. I’m not making that up.

However, it doesn’t matter because the US, Israel, the PLO, and many third parties have been holding talks for 40 years. There’s no straw man there.

And because negotiations have been ongoing, it seems as though the author has a loose grasp of the facts.
