. As someone who spent three years advising negotiations by the Palestinians, I can attest to that. The myth persists in the U.S. primarily, but also in some Arab capitols. Good that the Israeli gov is setting the record straight.
Here’s what’s wild: the Israelis have never offered the Palestinians a state, ever. That’s a fact. But if you say that here in the U.S. you sound like a madman, because the line here is that they kept turning down great offers. Now finally this extreme right wing govt in Israel…

When I was a student at UVA we protested for divestment from apartheid South Africa. Proud to see the students still can identify the central ethical issue of our time.
Students at the University of Virginia have voted 67.87% – 32.13% in favor of the school divesting its $13.6 billion endowment from any “companies engaging in or profiting from the State of Israel’s apartheid regime and acute violence against Palestinians.”
