But not all reactions from the Netherlands were so kind about Arafat's legacy

this doesn't make any sense. NO reaction was kind here. the reactions from the queen, the prime-minister and Ben Bot were polite and diplomatic, but had absolutely no content. they said he was a historical leader. They didn't say he was good or bad. The dutch never stood by 'just' the palestinians as is suggested in this article. We always tried to help work things out. We've never been on either side.
