If the Palestinians announced today that they would forgo a "right of return" of Palestinian refugees to Israel, would agree that Israel can keep the Jewish quarter of the old city of Jerusalem, and would agree to negotiated changes to the 1967 borders as long as they receive the same value of land...

If Netanyahu didn't agree to that, the Israeli populace would elect someone who would.

However, since the Palestinians have not agreed to either forgoing the right of return nor recognizing any Jewish claims in "East Jerusalem", there cannot be peace.

American Jews are waking up to the fact, as proven by the recent special election in NY-9, that the Democrat Party has really never represented their interests.

The last three American Democrat presidents (Carter, Clinton, Ob*ma) have never been friends of Israel. The Carter Center continues to receive millions from the Saudis. Ob*ma has never visited Israel as an American president, although he has visited many countries surrounding it, namely, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iraq, where he gave inflammatory speeches designed to hearten Israel's enemies.

In 2012, American Jewish pocketbooks will open for Republicans.

Who in h ell gave this se x predator and lier, who was forced to resign in order to escape impeachment, the microphone?

This is not complicated.
The arabs want to wipe out the Israelis
You either are for the israelis survival or you are not.
I personally am not in favor of genocide.
I think the the arabs and their corrupt religion will be defeated as written in the bible.

Have a nice dat!

What the X president has failed to see is that Israel was attacked numerous times and was victorious. Then the Arabs wanted their lost booty back. Booty that they themselves caused to be lost. The Israelis, ever vigilant for peace, gave back small portions only to be attacked from those very portions they used to barter for peace. Now Clinton says it is their fault the peace process does not go forward???
It never will.
I am personally looking forward to war because that is the ONLY language that the Arabs understand because of their twisted religious beliefs.
Israel will once again be victorious but much unnecessary blood will be spilled because of the hatred towards them.

"But they also had an Israeli government that was willing to give them East Jerusalem as the capital of the new state of Palestine." .... there''s the rub. No Israeli in his right mind would give up East Jerusalem. It's possible that the Israelis would allow Palestinians to enter Jerusalem, but there is no way that the Palestinians, if they controlled EJ, would allow Israelis free access. One of them already stated that there should be no Jews in a Palestinian state..... we have to remember who we're dealing with here....

And Clinton didn't think that these Palestinians(Jordanian refugees) electing Hamas to office didn't hamper the peace process? BWT, MMmillian - you're an ass.

How do you spell lying scumbag??

Bill Clinton

The answer is in your statement, that even after all these years "I still don't know for sure, Arafat turning down the deal I put together that Barak accepted". For some, everything is not enough...but that all depends on what the meaning of everything is.

If, as President Clinton stated, that the Palestinians are now willing to accept the Camp David II offer made by Prime Minister Ehud Barak, then the best way to test their sincerity is to let them make that offer.

The reality is, Israel is the state that put up not one, but three offers which were all rejected by Palestinian governments. Indeed, the last one was in 2008 by then Prime Minister Olmert.

Meanwhile, over the past two years, PA President Mahmoud Abbas has refused to even sit down with PM Netenyahu.

Unfortunately, I don't believe the claims put forth by President Clinton over the Saudi plan. In truth, it's the Saudis and the rest of the Arab League I don't trust, seeing how the so-called Fahd plan was shredded during the Arab League meeting in Beruit back in 2003.

Now, fast-forward eight years later, and we see how Egypt doesn't even want to uphold its obligations from the peace treaty it did sign with Israel, and after Israel handed over the entire Sinai Penninsula 30 years ago all during which Egypt refused to follow a course of normalized relations with Israel.

Sorry, but at this time, and after all the violence, I don't trust the Arab states and people. And after every piece of territory that Israel has handed over to the Arab states, its time for them to extend some grand gestures of their own.

Blame BeBe, what a hillbilly. BeBe was placed into office by those that have the same desires as him, to have a Free Israel, without having to constantly watch the sky’s and their backs. Billy Boy, should America just give away Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico to the Drug cartails to make peace with the ruthless drug lords, knowing full well these people will never be satiated until they have it all. No, the only true answer to the problem is to move Palestine to an area of the M.E. that is Muslim controlled like lets say Saudi land. Yet , the Muslim does not want the Palestinian in their country either. It is and always has been a ruse to eliminate Israel. Go back to your Hillbilly life in Arkansas.The world would be better if you would stay out of the politics.

I was born in 1973 and I'm really tired of hearing about Israel and the Palestinians. Why should I care about this? If the Jewish and Palestinian communities in America are so concerned about this issue, GO HOME! Quit dragging this non-American issue into our elections and foreign policy. This is a regional issue and only causes headaches for our foreign policy. Having said that, former President Clinton's assertion that Netanyahu is to blame is so blatantly absurd it cannot be taken seriously by critical thinkers. As a former President, how much blame should he have, "for the continued failure of the Middle East peace process..." or better yet, for not removing this stupid matter from the table. Additionally, his moronic claim that peace is threatened by, " a demographic shift in Israel that is making the Israeli public less amenable to peace." Yeah, that's called freedom and Democracy...if the people of Israel choose to not have peace, that's their choice as a sovereign nation. So again I must ask, why do we care about an idiotic regional issue that's been brewing for over a thousand years? Here's why: $3 billion to Israel and Egypt each, for how many years?? That money could have and should have gone to something better. Bill, you're just as much a part of this failure as the last string of idiots who sat in the Oral Office...ooops...I meant Oval, sorry Freudian.

How many speaches, comments, statements do we have of George Washington post presidency? NONE.

Same goes down the line until Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

They started a precident that will haunt us till the day we are in the dustbowl of history.

Somebody, please shut this serial rapist up!

There is plenty of evidence that both Bill and Hillary are pathological liars. There is also plenty of evidence that the Arabs have said "no" to all offers for statehood for both countries. Those of you who want Israel to disappear have not looked at the facts. Stop with the hatred.

Clinton's deal gave no air rights, no water rights - it was a travesty ... the Palestinians are much better off on their own the with the US as an "honest broker" when the US is merely a Host to a nefarious controlling parasite known as zionists ... the US has never put forth a deal that was not stacked 80/20 for israel ... the demographics of israel now see that country devolving utterly into a crass, racist, mafia state that celebrates murder by indoctrinating their children into it and lets their settler terrorists now run the show

At the conclusion of WWI, as Turkey’s Ottoman Empire was being dissolved, the area - NOTE: the AREA, not the COUNTRY - known as Palestine was placed under British mandate.

In 1920, and because no other peoples had ever established a national homeland in Palestine since the Jews had done it 2,000 years before, the British "looked favorably" upon the creation of a Jewish National Homeland throughout ALL of Palestine.

In 1923, to placate the Arabs, the British divided Palestine into two administrative districts when they "chopped off" 75% of the originally proposed Jewish Palestinian homeland to form an Arab Palestinian nation called Trans-Jordan. 

Henceforth, Jews would be permitted only west of the Jordan River.

The territory east of the Jordan River was given to Emir Abdullah (from Hejaz, now Saudi Arabia) and re-named Trans-Jordan.

In other words, the eastern 3/4 of Palestine would be renamed TWICE, in effect, erasing all connection to the name “Palestine”!

However, the bottom line is that the Palestinian Arabs had THEIR "Arab Palestinian" homeland. The remaining 25% of (now WEST of the Jordan River) was to be the Jewish Palestinian homeland. 

However, sharing was not part of the Arab psychological makeup.

The 1947, U.N. Resolution 181 partition plan was to divide the remaining 25% of Palestine into a Palestinian State and a SECOND Palestinian State (Trans-Jordan being the first) based upon population concentrations. 

The Jewish Palestinians accepted... the Arab Palestinians rejected. The Arabs still wanted ALL of Palestine... both east AND west of the Jordan River.

As any non-prejudiced, open-minded study of the Middle-East region verifies:

There is no such thing as a Palestinian.

There has never been a country called Palestine.

These so-called “Palestinians" - i.e., Arabs - already HAVE a home land.

It was given to them by the British.

It`s called “Jordan.”

On March 31, 1977, the Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview with Palestine Liberation Organization executive committee member Zahir Muhsein. Here's what he said:

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.

For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."

The same man who looked us in the eye and said that he never had an affair with Monica Lewinsky.

And that a 3 day waiting period for buying handguns, along with mandatory child safety locks, would have prevented an unsupervised 7 year old kid living illegally in a crack house with his drug dealer uncle from shooting his classmate with the uncle's pistol.

And that Arafat was a man of peace.

And that the PLO had amended its charter so as no longer to be devoted to Israel's destruction.

How soon we forget.

He was impeached for lying under oath. He and his wife should both be in prison for the Whitewater affair. He gave our missile secrets to China in exchange for campaign contributions. He disgraced the office of the President. He and his wife both should receive nothing but scorn and derision for the rest of their lives.

I have seldom agreed with Bill Clinton in the past, and I did not vote for him. However, I agree completely with his conclusions in this article.

Netanyahu has painted Israel into a corner, as the most hated country in the world. My guess is that neither former Israeli Prime Ministers Ariel Sharon nor Yitzhak Rabin would have done this.

Clearly, Netanyahu is the most dangerous and irresponsible leader that Israel has ever had. He was hated by Sharon and Yitzhak Rabin—and especially by Rabin’s wife Leah, who blamed Netanyahu for her husband’s assassination. She saw “only doom for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process” with Netanyahu at Israel’s helm; and her views were prescient.

Arafat's BFF, Mr Oral Clinton .....thinks he is the World's Big Sh*t !!

Stuffing MILLIONS in his back pockets, Mr. Oral Clinton ....goes around the World playing Mr Stud Muffin .....while Hillary runs herself ragged trying to make sense of Obama's seat of the pants Foreign Policy !!

Mr Oral Clinton failed Israel and Jimmy Carter failed Israel ...so the 2 Buffons are passing the buck to Obama ....so he can fail Israel too.

Mr. Oral Clinton is Silvio Berlusconi's ......Bonga-Bonga Front Man !!!

The only accomplishment of Mr. Oral Clinton is that he taught the World that CIGARS were not necessarily made to be smoked !!

Go Smoke a Cigar, Mr. Oral Clinton and GET OUT OF BIBI'S WAY !!

Is there anyone out there other than mind-numbed DemocRATS who believes anything Bill Clinton says? This guy is a convicted prevaricator who will say anything that serves him at the time. The proof lies in the founding charters of all the Palestinian organizations that dominate that community - which all call for wiping Israel off the map. As President Bill Clinton would know this, yet he was trying to force a solution on Israel that would have led to its destruction. All Netanyahu did, who is far smarter than any of these DemocRAT hacks is ensure that Israel's interests will be protected.

Is this the Clinton that illegally sold missle technology to the Chinese for massive illegal campaign contributions? Wait, this is the one that the media has deemed the wise elder statesman, sorry.

Anyone that takes this treasonous bastard seriously is just plain stupid.

Having said that, I wish his wife was president right now, but then, picking any random name out of any random phonebook in the country would be better that what we currently have.

Run Hillary, run!!!

A simplistic and utterly sloppy stenographic record from a serial prevaricator.
1. When Clinton got tired from Bibi he dispatched his election hit squad, Stan greenberg, carville and others to the Dan Hotel in tel-Aviv to fashion for Ehood Barak a campaign platform to depose Bibi. This was an elegant putch, instigated by an American president, desparate to achieve something for legacy-instead he ended with egg on his face.
Recently the same Stan Greenberg with American money helped to set the civic insurrection by the demented Left, purchasing tents and sound systems, which produced very little. The fact is that Bibi never once came down to speak to the agitators, armed with Alinsky's Rules For Radicals Manual who could have achieved more by trashing les the entire urban centers of the country. Why when the Left leaves an event there is dirt and garbage all over the place?

2. The discredited and shameless President Clinton, does not own up to the fact that he hosted international terrorist, Yasser Arafat ( filmed by Romanian Intelligence with young men, in his wired hotel room during one of many visits to Bucharest on behalf of the KGB, check with Mr. Pacepa, a former Intel officer, now resident of the U.S), some 30 times in the White House. He was utterly clueless and naive about the whole mindless Oslo agreement. He never explains in his questionable presentation what did he get for all these empty gestures with this two bit terrorist?
3.Rogin fails to challenge the "Clinton Narrative" regarding the lack of credibility of the two offers made by Barak and Olmert. What ever they offered could not be implemented. Both Israelis and Arabs could not live nor abide with the offers that were made. It could never pass approval by the Israeli voters.
4. When Clinton fictionalizes the Sharon story he goes way beyond any truth, to the point where he now treads on the meaning of "IS". Utterly disingenius. Kadima was a phony party that could not survive, in fact , its corrupt and disreputable leaders are utterly inconsequential, none have any stature or name recognition in the country. When they were tested under fire, (Leabanon, Shalit) 2006, they failed. As a Secretary of State Tzipi Livni, like Mme. Clinton is a certified failure. No achievments, zero energy, lots of noise making, screaming and forgetable track record. Her endless hectoring and screaming in the Knesset make Israeli women bllush, she gives the Mossad a bad name! She gives her parents, former ranking members of the Irgun, a klop in the kopp! Her father would have been utterly disgusted with her conduct, this I say as one who knew many of these characters. To imagine that Kadima, could fashion a peace deal is an utter subversion of the truth. Perhaps Arik could have pulled a deal, but not the clowns Clinton is talking about. What Clinton does now own up to is the fact that Arik left Gaza and Israel got some 300 rockets in the following months.

In conclusion, these notes are in no way a defense of Bibi, (whose father was one of the great minds of the time hlping Zeev Jabotinky, fashioning thephilosophy of the Irgun out of N.Y during the war) he got his problems,. To be charitable, Citizen Clinton is good at rewriting history. As a grifter, he never had any shame making up stories. The left is good at dreaming up new realities at a moment's notice.

we are missing the big picture. Clinton has one goal to get his wife elected president for his legacy. Economy has failed and Obama is going to lose. This move to blame the jews is to have them stay home during the 2012 elections. Hillary in 2016, one reason, the enconomy would recover till 2018, and the republician president will be vulnerable

The word "Jews" have a different meaning than the adverb "Israelis," something Americans do not clearly comprehend.
The modern Jewish saga originated in Europe hence we know quite a bit of related history.

Let's quote Churchill:

Zionism versus Bolshevism.
A Struggle for the Soul of the Jewish People
By the Rt. Hon. Winston S. Churchill.

Illustrated Sunday Herald February 8, 1920, page 5
http://ajedrez_democratico.tripod.com/Zionism-versus-Bolshevism.htm

Churchill broke up the Jewry into several groups:
1. "Internationalist" (Marxist/Bolsheviks) struggling for a "Universalistic" world without nation states, religion, distinct ethnicities ...as Marx suggested in his theses, "On the Jewish Question" 1843.
These people are the "multikultist", diversity a.k.a. "Cultural Marxist" crowd, Leftist, anti-Israeli Democratic Party members - including Jews like Soros and his coterie.
The majority of American Jewry is hard Leftist like Jstreet.

2. The opposite end are the "Nationalists" (Zionists) dreaming of a homeland, their own indigenous language, culture, incorporating the majority non-Anglo Jewry like Mizrahim (Eurasians) Sephardim (Iberia) and East European/Russian Holocaust survivors.

There is no bridge between the two: Diaspora Jews are "Jews", blending into the host country political frame, serving the Obama/Clinton administration even against Israel.
Zionist wants to prevail in a radical, murderous backward surrounding and they must fight or else - the new ovens are firing up.

Clinton's and the Anglo-Jewry have no sway over Eurasian Israelis.

Yeah Bubba,you pathetic caricature of an "elder statesman", it's Netahyahu's fault. Forget the neophyte failed President who has unabashedly ruined the U.S.' long friendly relationship with the only genuine democracy in the Middle East and the "able" assistance of your lovely wife the Secretary of State in orchestrating the same, right? Forget the both of them encouraging the "Arab Spring" revolt in Egypt, the breaking of Turkish/Israeli relations with, and the increasing isolation of, Israel. What's going to happen here, Bubba, is that either Iran will finally field their nuke and use it on Israel or the surrounding Arab states will once again attack that little nation conventionally, and when they do the Israelis, who are not kidding when they declare "never again", and at this point do not expect U.S. help, will nuke Damascus, Cairo, Alexandria, Baghdad, Amman, Ryiad, the Islamic Holy cities of Mecca and Medina and Tehran. And it will all be "Netanyahu's fault", sure.

The former Leader of the Free World, famous for waddling around the Oval Office, the Temple of Democracy with his pants around his ankles, actually has something to say? Why hasn't this guy SHOT himself yet? Clinton set all the conditions necessary for the 9-11 attacks to happen. He INCUBATED it, and it only hatched in the Bush Administration. Why does ANYONE listen to this fool anymore? Just like Jimmy Carter, the Originator of Jihad on Earth with deposing the Shah of Iran. These people should just retire in shame, and pray no one finds them.

Of course God wants us to live in peace. But, He wants an undivided Jerusalem.
The prophet Zechariah says there will be a day when all nations will battle against Jerusalem. On that day the Lord Himself will battle on her behalf and set up His kingdom . His will rule from Jerusalem.
For those of you who believe in the Bible, you can see that for yourselves in the book of Zechariah.
For those of you who do not believe in the Bible, IF this happens in your lifetime, you, along with Bill Clinton, will be angry with those not willing to give away huge chunks of what God has established as the land of Israel and , therefore, you might make the horrible mistake of being on the wrong side ! I pray you will not get this one wrong.....
God says (these are not my thoughts...these thoughts are in the book of Zechariah) He will destroy those who come against Jerusalem (14:12). Read chapters 12 through 14 for yourself and see how you would interpret this.
