Yasir Arafat is no more. He died on November 11, 2004. The PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) is a joint effort by several separate anti-Israel groups originally organized in 1964 to destroy Israel through the force of arms. Arafat was the head of his own group, Al Fatah, when it joined the PLO. Arafat later headed the PLO from 1969 until he died. In 1996, the PLO renounced its stated goal of dissolving Israel. After Arafat died, the PLO fell on hard times, and in 2006, Hamas won out over Al Fatah for control of the Palestinian Authority. The PLO has been struggling for traction among the Palestinian people for the past 3 years.
