what the Parameters could have looked like. We still don't know which version of the West Bank area that was used - the Israeli version is about 95% of the Palestinian one, and it would've given Israel an extra 5% by default with no land swaps.

On top of that, Israel accepted the Clinton Parameters, but with 20 pages of objections. The interpretation of what that map would look like looks different altogether, with the West Bank cut up in 3 isolated areas and no Palestinian access to the Jordan River.

The Clinton Parameters didn't come with a map, which is a bit strange - I don't know of any other zoning / partition proposal that didn't come with a map.

An offer so awfully bad that Arafat wished he had accepted it.... shira May 2016 #13

well if the Israeli offer was in earnest why didn't take Arafat up on this? azurnoir May 2016 #15

Make up your mind first. Was the offer shit or not shit? n/t shira May 2016 #17

I asked you a valid question my opinion of the offer which I haven't given isn't at issue here azurnoir May 2016 #18

Sharon was a rightwinger, so what do you expect? Besides, Olmert did one better.... shira May 2016 #19

Answer my last post and we can continue. I answered you. shira May 2016 #22

at the moment I have no opinion one way or the other about the offer-Arafat so we are told azurnoir May 2016 #23
