From what I have read, Arafat was not a tyrant of the PLO. The PLO had many factions at odds with Arafat. Contrast that witha real tyrant, the late Vellupillai Prabhakaran, who ruled separatist militant organization “Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam” like a supreme ruler.

And even here, there was a moderate branch of the Tamil Tigers that broke off from the main group lured by negotiation and diplomacy.
