I believe they have a legitimate claim, but nothing occurred in 2000 for Arafat to leave Clinton's negotiating table (is there something in Clinton's proposal that was abhorrent) and begin suicide bombing.

Back to your usual pack of lies, eh?

1. Arafat did not leave the negotiating table. Barak left the table.
2. Suicide bombing began in November 2000, after a month of Israeli military siege on Palestinian towns and Israeli settler terrorism on Palestinian civilians.
3. The suicide bombing has nothing to do with Arafat.

I mean, if everything bad that is said about Israel is true, suicide bombing instead of negotiations is not justified, imo.

Well, that point is debatable. Some would say that Israel is a garrison state, and the vast majority of the population is in the military, was in the military, or will be in the military. Certainly, the government is a thinly disguised military junta. And since the takeover of Palestinian land is being perpetrated by Israeli "civilians", it is difficult to paint them as "innocent".
