Video: Bill Clinton slams Yasser Arafat for rejecting peace

Who is responsible for the fact that there is no 'Palestinian state' today? We've all heard that Bill Clinton believes that it's Yasser Arafat. But here's what's curious about this video: If you tell the apologists for the 'Palestinians' that Clinton said Arafat was responsible, they'll tell you that the deal wasn't good enough and that Arafat could not accept it.

But here's the key: Those apologists are talking about Camp David. Clinton is talking about the Clinton parameters, and Clinton says (and this is the part I had not heard before) that Saudi Arabia and Egypt and the younger people among Arafat's aides all urged him to accept. It was Arafat himself who turned the deal down.

Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip: Jules).
