It's about a sense of injustice, which is a powerful thing, particularly when exploited by people for ther own ends - usually with a view to gaining power for themselves.
Well Arafat walked away from a deal 25 years at Camp David that would have given him a Palestinian state , it's capital in East Jerusalem , 96% of the West Bank and a further 4% of Israel .

A deal Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin paid for with his life even though Arafat walked away from it .

You have to wonder what great sense of injustice resided within his soul to turn that down ?

Something more powerful perhaps ?
