text: "when Ehud Barak tried to negotiate an agreement with Arafat in 2000"
  
  Hi mythical "generous offer" contained conditions that would have legitimized the status quo and left Israel in de facto control of all Palestinian territory. Even prominent Israeli academics and journalists said that, like everything Israel's government has brought to the table, it was designed to be rejected.
  
  This only continues because Israel's government has made a conscious choice to perpetuate a military, political, and economic campaign to deny the Palestinians their right to self determination and steal their land and resources, in brazen defiance of the UN and systemic violation of the very laws intended to prevent such an injustice.
  
  And the US underwrites this campaign and protects it from the law.
  
  Guess you haven't seen how fanatical settlers and the Israeli authorities treat Christians, Muslims, or supporters of Palestinian rights.
