Barak's generous offer of Camp David

In addition to the settlement blocs, Barak came up with another demand;
Territories that will be under “Temporary Israeli Control”.

The remains are “The Generous Offers of Barak…”

This is no generous offer.
It is a humiliating demand for surrender!

Data in this document are based on the maps Barak showed Arafat in December
2000 and generally termed “Barak’s Generous Offers”.
The Israeli public, media and academics use this description unwittingly. This
document sheds light on the offer and exposes the truth by examining the
details – the offer is a pretense of generosity for the benefit of the media!

Barak’s offer gives Israel control over all the border crossings of the
Palestinian State. No country in the world would accept that. The
words “territorial continuity” are deceptive. No Israeli would agree to travel
50 miles from one town to another, if the real distance between them is only 5
miles.

This impossible offer, Barak’s imperious attitude, the ongoing massive
construction in the settlements and Sharon’s provocation – all these
contributed to the inevitable explosion.

The “generous offer” is a fig leaf that conceals the intentions of those who
justify this war against the Palestinians.

In December, no maps of the Gaza Strip were shown, so we cannot illustrate
Barak’s intentions there. At Taba, Barak presented a much-improved map. The
Palestinians consider it a basis for negotiation. But Barak repudiated it
after his election defeat so there is no point in bringing it up.

Any future negotiation must be based on the same historical compromise- 78% for
Israel, 22% for Palestine.
