    Sadly, Yasser Arafat refusing to take Clinton’s deal didn’t help things either. Israel/Palestine is absolutely, ultimately the fault of the British

      That deal was a poison pill, and it was Rabin’s deal, not Clinton’s. Clinton just cynically pretended it was fair.

      I’d say it’s more the fault of the Stern Gang and its modern descendants, especially the Likud, and the utter spinelessness of the US and Europe in the face of a disciplined, well-funded, relentless lobbying group.
