Okay, Lawrence O'Donnel is full of crap.
What he conveniently left out.
Sure, Clinton talked a good game with the Palestinians.
But when a Palestinian State was put on the Table for Arafat he walked away.
The Palestinians are NEVER going to agree to a State as long as Israel exists.
That's Number one.
Number 2: Lawrence is trying to split hairs.
Bibi did NOT say what Obama said.
He CLEARLY SAID the 1967 borders are not defensible.
"Agreed swaps" doesn't mitigate the 1967 border if you are starting from that point (the point of the 1967 borders).
Bibi said NO.
Bibi went on to say, sure there will have to a negotiated border with some settlements beyond Israel's border, but the swaps aren't going to start with the 1967 border.
O'Donnel can claim otherwise, and I'm sure liberals lap it up, because they want to believe Bibi didn't humiliate Obama, BUT THAT IS FAR TOO OBVIOUS.
Number 3, WHAT IS BULLSHIT THAT YOU COULDN'T SAY "PALESTINIAN STATE DURING THE CLINTON ADMIN?????"
That's BS! Clinton talked all the time about it. Sure it was criticized, BUT IT STILL IS!
I remember the talks the Clinton admin had with Arafat. Clinton did everything but bend over and kiss Arafat's ass. Arafat wasn't going to agree to a state unless he got all of Israel. That much was obvious!
And Bush wasn't criticized for talking Palestinian State? Yes he was!
O'Donnel is spinning the whole thing into a parallel reality.
I'm sure you libs lap it all up like the usual kool-aid you drink but it just doesn't fit in with reality.
