This strikes me as a very, very authorized leak. As if the Trump admin, at the highest levels, wants the world, especially Venezuela, to know about it. In other words, it's less exposing a massive covert operation but part of a propaganda campaign to destabilize Venezuela.

Great question. The reason why it's still a question 25 years later is that Israel or Clinton *never* gave Palestinians with a formal map of their offer. The reason is obvious: a map would show the world that Israel and Clinton were "offering" Palestinians a bantustan state.

@aaronjmate Do you maybe have a map how these Settlement Blocks looked like in 2000? Would Palestine really not be conitguous?

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."

I too was fooled to believe for a long time that the Palestinians were the ones who "did not want to settle". Then I realized it was the exact opposite; even before Netanyahu. Now I feel shame at having being played.

The ICC “singles out Israel”, Booker claims. The ICC avoided Israel while targeting mostly African leaders until the Gaza genocide made it impossible to ignore. MSNBC should give this podcast a show. They actually represent a Democratic audience.

.@ivehaditpodcast's Jennifer Welch implores Cory Booker, after he refused to call Netanyahu a war criminal, to take the outrage over Gaza seriously. Booker claims he has to go, says the ICC "singles out Israel," and criticizes podcasters for not focusing more on Africa instead.

Yes, but two problems with that: 1) Israel never formally offered Palestinians "the Clinton Parameters." Ehud Barak -- not Arafat -- called off the January 2001 Taba talks where they were discussed. 2) Israel went out of its way to express "reservations" with the Clinton

@aaronjmate Shlomo Ben-Ami said in the SAME interview you cite that while the Camp David offer was not sufficient, the Clinton Parameters months later DID meet the Palestinian needs of a state and was rejected by Arafat. So your own source contradicts your argument. https://t.co/etmWvIIsrk
