Oh, were that but true.
So he’s Undead. That explains a lot.
The Palis always have Saudi Arabia....
Oh, puh-leeze, Bubba!
He’s telling the truth, though.
There was a deal on the table that would have created a Palestinian state with all of Gaza and 95% or more of the west bank area, plus trade lands to compensate for the other 5, and Yasser Arafat came back in the room and turned it down.
He knew that it would be the end of his life if he signed such a deal, because Hamas would have murdered him. When you make a good living being a terrorist, Peace is your enemy.
wonder how much that cost them?
By the looks of things he’d better hurry.
Hillary has to be cringing.

No, you’re still alive. But yeah, the Palis didn’t want peace after all... It doesn’t pay.
If only you had succeeded...preferably as a youth.
I remember he did, in fact do that. Netanyahu was willing to give almost everything to Arafat that Arafat demanded, but Arafat chose to launch the Intifada instead.
at killing himself, or making piece?
Crap. I thought the headline was a suicide note.
Well then, who’s stupider than you, Willy?
The former.
The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity.The PLO admitted that there are no Palestinians, and that these non-Palestinians do not want a state but Arab unity, i.e. a Caliphate.

And yet you’re still alive.
Bill had struck a deal but made a cultural mistake. He continued to have Yasser Arafat as a guest, the White House’s most frequent one, as a matter of fact. So in Arafat’s culture, he believed he had the favor of the king and therefore didn’t have to settle for the deal he had agreed to. He was looking for a better one, based on what his many visits implied in his world view. Clinton was an idiot not to realize this. (Liberals believe they are so subtle and nuanced and knowledgeable that they never even try to learn more or learn from mistakes.)
There was a video clip of Ehud Barak, Arafat and Clinton in the Rose Garden. In middle eastern culture, the one who enters the door last is the important one. Not knowing this Clinton simply went in first, making him the least important. Arafat motions for Barak to go in next and Barak shakes his finger no. They wrestle and Barak, a beefy guy, throws Arafat through the door. Clinton turns around shocked and the Secret Service guy obviously doesn’t know what to do. Understanding what happened as far as they were concerned makes the clip hilarious. More subtle, nuanced diplomacy from idiots.
Uh, perhaps. But how convenient there was a heckler in the audience that was not only allowed to continually harass Billy, but more importantly, asked questions that were easily answered by Billy.
Smells like a conveniently staged set-up that everybody is accepting without question.
Under normal circumstances, the heckler would have been escorted out by security.
This was a staged confrontation.
