The point in banishing him would be to 1) establish a leadership committed to raising its people out of the desperate situation Arafat led them into, 2) establish a leadership interested in dealing with Israel for a real peace, which Arafat has proven unwilling to do.
One could ask you the same question in regards to your outspoken, universal left-wing ideology.
My stance on the Israeli-Palestinean Conflict is well documented here on this board. I don't believe in terrorism as a means of social change. Its a morally bankrupt tactic of the weak-minded. Simply my opinion on the matter, no more or less valid than anyone else's opinion.
