Tell me when Arafat was ignored, or insufficiently heard, in your opinion. I'm curious, because I was under the impression that he was the primary representative in discussions with Israel and/or America.

hezbollah should be ignored. The U.S. has said it, and the UN has also said it (remember 1559?). maybe in your mind it makes sense to negotiate with terrorists, but perhaps you lack the moral clarity to see the difference between them and Israel in the first place.
