No, I mean the Europeans. As for trying to leverage Arafat, you have no idea of the cultural mentality of the middle east. Arafat is NOT seen as a hero of peace. He's seen as a hero of armed struggle. Invoking his name leads to attacks in his name: " The armed wing of Fatah on Thursday announced its decision to change its name from the Aksa Martyrs Brigades to the Brigades of Martyr Yasser Arafat." http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid =1100147302028
