Palestinians, not Israelis, do not have a state actor as a partner for peace
A far-right zionist (more than Jewish) letter to the editor, by David Rothfeld of Bethesda, MD, repeats the talking point of Ehud Barak's 'generous offer' rejected by Yasir Arafat repeated across the Israeli and world Jewish community political spectrum (JCPA and member organizations of the President's Conference of Major American Jewish Organizations in the USA for starters) from center-right to far-right. Ehud Barak's offer at Camp David was never as generous as the propaganda repeated in the WaPo letters section February 21, 2019.
The propaganda perpetuating the talking point that Arafat rejected a 'generous offer' ignores Jewish rejectionists of the increasingly remote possibility of a two state solution that Binyamin Netanyahu built his political career pandering to according to Ehud Barak himself.
Footage in the film "Rabin The Last Day" shows a far right, anti-Oslo process, rally Binyamin Netanyahu spoke at.
Ask Netanyahu's 'Jewish and democratic' electoral base of Israelis across the right wing of the political spectrum (or their Jewish diaspora supporters like Mr. Rothfeld) why they didn't accept the negotiations mostly stopped. The stoppage in negotiations is mostly the responsibility of Israel's increasingly rejectionist Likud-led governing policy since 2001. That increasingly rejectionist Likud-led policy has cynically divided Palestinian rights from peace with neighboring countries in the 'hostile neighborhood' Israel 'lives' in.
