Here's more on how Bill Clinton lied, on Israel's behalf, about Arafat rejecting a generous Israeli-US peace offer in 2000-01. In his memoir, Clinton admits that his "nonnegotiable" peace plan would give Israel enough West Bank land to "hold at least 80 percent of the settlers." Consider that for a second: on top of giving up the right of return and ceding 78% of historic Palestine to Israel, Clinton's plan was also telling Palestinians to accept 80% of the illegal Israeli settlers staying in the settlement blocs that carve up the West Bank. So Palestinians weren't even getting 22% of their stolen homeland; they were getting a bantustan entity filled with (fanatical) Israeli settlers. Amazingly, for Israel, that wasn't enough. In their reply to Clinton, the Israelis wrote that "the permanent territorial arrangements would have to include annexation that exceeds the numerical territorial scope indicated by the President." So Israel told Clinton that they wanted to steal more Palestinian land than Clinton was already letting them steal! In his memoir, Clinton whitewashes this. He says that while the Israelis voiced "reservations" with his plan, "all their reservations were within the parameters" of his plan. And he instead blames Arafat for rejecting this supposedly generous plan as "an error of historic proportions."
