Arafat: Hero or Traitor

At least they announced yasser Arafat is died. from when I was a little child I knew him as a great man(maybe because my name was like him)but I must confess that I don't know him really good now so I cannot say that he was a dictator or a grate leader for Palestinians people.
relation between yasser Arafat and Iran government (definitely Islamic government)is really interesting : A few hours after revolution in Iran yasser Arafat was special guest of leader of revolution ayatollah Khomeini. He was a hero for revolutionary people .they gave him lot money .
But when he changed his manner and gave up fighting against Israel and knew Israel as a legal country he became as traitor for Iran government.
Yesser Arafat wished peace in his motherland so gave up fighting (was he successful?) But Iran still stands on its strict slogans Against Israel and Zionists.
Any way yasser Arafat died and god bless him
