I remember this disaster only too well. Many thanks for sharing Kahilidi's report. Israel has never had any intention of ushering in a two-state 'solution' or any other such concept of a Palestinian state. Their objective from the beginning and today's genocide deeply underscores this; has been to literally wipe Palestine off the face of the earth and murder as many Palestinians- regardless of age- as possible. And, yet again, not only does the US stand by and watch...it supplies the tools for the massacres and runs interference on the world stage.

Khalidi closes with a chilling memory, a quote from none other than Benyamin Netanyahu (a third level deputy at the time):

“I would suggest you delete this,” [Eagleburger's statement] he said. “Otherwise you give us no choice but to defend our credibility by setting the record straight. We’ll end up in a shooting war with each other.”

I have sometimes wondered of that possibility.
