RE: "Taba"

RE: "And hence, should be accepted? And its rejection means Palestinians are only interested in destroying Israel? Not sure about that..."

No, I didn't say accept, I said counter offer. I don't think a formal rejection says anything about "destroying Israel", but a move to a suicide terrorist intifada as a response, does.

RE: "I don't know whether there was even a possibility of bringing a counter-offer to the table..."

Of course there was. THe Barak and Taba proposals were a continuation of the Oslo process which was perceived as bogged down by both sides. This process was about 10 years old at that time. There was no reason to believe that any offer is/was the final take it or leave it offer. You do know that Arafat supposedly (I must believe news releases) acknowledged that he should have accepted the Taba offer.
