netanyahu cabinet in 98 when i made a deal with him. he wouldn t support it. he said i come from one of the biggest countries in the world to one of the smallest and you, pointing to me, wish me to cut it in half, no thank you. in other words, don t tell me about the history, don t tell me about the palestinians being here 2,000 years. don t tell me about nothing. it s ours, why should we give it up. that complicates israeli politics enormously. the other thing that i warned arafat about is the pressure to expand the settlements. in 2000, when we offered the peace agreement, you could get 97% of the west bank settlers on 3% of the land. it was an easy deal to work a land swap out with israel acre for acre. they got, effect, 100% of the west bank. today, you have to give up 6% of the land to get just 80% of the settlers. and going to get the other 20% means it will be hell to pay.
