On November 11, sadness has covered Palestine like a heavy black blanket, the 75-year-old Arafat ended his legendary life in a Paris hospital with so much work still to do. Arafat won wide respect among his people. But in the eyes of Israelis, he is a terrorist because of the bombings against them. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 for his efforts to make peace between Palestine and Israel. As a great leader that cannot be easily replaced, Arafat's death leaves Palestine with an uncertain future.
