@SenatorWong@YvetteCooperMP@AnitaAnandMP What a waste of time and our taxpayer money when Hamas are still armed and retain their ideology that Israel has no right to exist… such an ignorant miss-step for the Australian government to recognise a sovereign state of Palestine at the UN in the middle of ongoing hostilities
Even Arab leaders admit it.
Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.
Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.
Ok, so let us set that aside.
Now watch this.
In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.
Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.
He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.
The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.
This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.
When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.
The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.
This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.
If you value the truth, please share.
@ZionistFedAus Shame on the ABC for giving this impertinent flog a platform.. I sincerely hope her claims were thoroughly dismantled and discredited on air but I’m thinking that would be way too much to expect from “our” ABC…
@KathyLette Care factor = zero… there is no Palestinian sovereign identity, never was and never will be… they are just ethnic Arabs from various countries …. Jordan, Syria, Egypt… etc…. Go and protest about the Iranian Ayatollah and join the Persian people in liberating Iran.
@DougCameron51 Well - Federal Labor just aren’t reading the room… bit like the voice referendum really… REAL action following a Federal Royal Commission on anti-Semitism is what we want - not weasel words or bullshit internal inquiries - the booing will not stop until the Feds LISTEN!
@Lisa9Sophia On the ASIO watch list for years and this was allowed to happen? Not to mention no cross-referencing effort made to identify that his father was licensed to hold six hunting rifles in suburban Sydney …. Wtf… What hope do we have…..
This cartoon and The Australian’s piece nail it: Years of “globalise the intifada” chants and unchecked incitement led to blood on Bondi Beach
You built this – spare us the crocodile tears. Weak leadership failed us.
Time for accountability

@ICACNow001@RositaDaz48 If the parliamentarian travel expense rules do not pass the pub test (modern community standards) then they are not fit-for-purpose and should be changed…
@Kate3015 So when your batt. has already fully charged we get free power…appliances used over the 3 hrs will draw down your battery first and use your solar panels, then pull from the grid. Inverter software will need to be re-prog to switch off your fully charged battery during the 3 hrs
@RositaDaz48 Public transport numbers are up because of the protesters coming in and running-a-muck in our city consuming millions of dollars of precious police resources
@illingwort25389@colonelhogans Not to mention their lobbyist stooges backing them financially with obvious strings attached… Teals are compromised and that was as clear-as-day at the last Federal Election.
