To many Israeli Jews, Yasser Arafat is viewed as a terrorist.
Explanation:
Arafat and his movement operated from several Arab countries. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Fatah (his political party) confronted Jordan in a brief civil war. Being forced to flee from Jordan to Lebanon, Arafat and Fatah were important targets in the invasions that Israel carried out in 1978 and 1982. While the majority of Palestinians, regardless of their political ideology, saw him as a warrior and a martyr who symbolized his national aspirations, many Israelis described him as a terrorist because of the attacks his faction carried out against civilians.
The strategy of "containment" is best known as a Cold War foreign policy of the United States and its allies to prevent the spread of communism after the end of World War II.
