Preferred term

Yasser Arafat  

Definition

  • Yasser Arafat, a controversial and polarizing leader for the Palestinians, became a key figure in the decades-long struggle between Israel and Palestine. Renowned for his red and white keffiyah headdress, Palestinians hailed Arafat as a martyr while Israelis ostracized him as an instigator and terrorist. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Arafat, Yasser (1929–2004)]
