ill save you the time on this one
maybe about 90% of pro Israelis going to say terrorist

personally i think he worked for the cause of the Palestinians, wither you agree with it or not
he tried, he lived most his life running and hiding and fighting and for that i give him credit for putting his personal life aside and doing all that.

Controlling and destroying the lives of many in Lebanon (dawlat Fatah = the State of Fatah) and being a paid lap dog for Saddam does not make him a freedom fighter, a common thug is more appropriate.
