A
Generous Offer?
The Camp David
talks hosted by President Clinton in June, 2000 were supposed to be a milestone
in the Middle East "peace process". Their failure, and the official
American and Israeli interpretation of that failure, set the stage for incendiary
events later that year. Some argue that Camp David was the match that ignited
the Second Intifada. Understanding what really happened at Camp David is important
for understanding the issues at stake today.
