So far, 329 Palestinians have died in the uprising (compared with 57 Israelis), and he delivered fiery speeches at all the funerals he could attend. Barghouti is more popular than Arafat in the West Bank. They call him Napoleon. Despite Sharon's electoral win, he actually comes across as gleeful, an ambitious prizefighter finally getting a shot at the champ. As he wolfs down a plate of lamb and rice, too rushed to take off his black leather jacket, he rattles off the reasons to be happy. The intifadeh...
