The man gave up many opportunities to have an independent Palestine and deliberately burned bridges with neighbouring Arab countries that were kind enough to help out in the cause. He is a corrupt ass-face that exploited the plight of his people for power and wealth.

He hasn't had much influence over Palestinians for quite some time now, his death will probably have a symbolic impact over Palestine, I don't think anything will happen inside of Palestine. The only problem will be who will succeed Arafat in terms of who will represent Palestine to the international community.
