I need to look at this more closely, but at first glance, it looks like both sides rejected certain parts of the proposal and that was why the talks broke down. Take a look at the document below for what each side rejected:

These notes, by EU envoy Miguel Moratinos, were accepted by both sides as an accurate record of what took place. They were first published in Ha'aretz newspaper on 14 February, 2002

I don't think a formal rejection says anything about "destroying Israel", but a move to a suicide terrorist intifada as a response, does

Why?

As the talks broke down and the occupation continued (with increased settlements), how else would the Palestinian side fight?

You do know that Arafat supposedly (I must believe news releases) acknowledged that he should have accepted the Taba offer.

I didn't actually, but that is nice to hear. If true, that means what I have said re time changes a lot must be valid in this case. That is, there IS hope for another peace plan, and this time perhaps Arafat's expectations will have been lower than they were before.

No, I didn't say accept, I said counter offer.

Yes, you said that, but you were lying.

<<< At Taba the Palestinians made detailed counterproposals--in other words, counteroffers--showing which changes to the 1967 borders they would be willing to accept. >>>
