Nadine, I was talking about maps. You've changed the subject.
If you have no alternative map, that's OK. If you have no alternative Israeli offer, that's OK too. But one thing is sure, claiming that something is a lie requires evidence and there was none in the references I could find in the sites you were so kind to send to me


No, I was explaining why there is no authorative map of the Israeli offer at Taba in the public domain, to answer your contention that if there was no countering Israeli map, then the Palestinian map must be correct. It's because Arafat does not negotiate, he just demands concessions. The tactic to negotiate with him is to pin him to the wall as the clock ticks down, then at midnight he'll give up something. It scarcely matters what, he never keeps his agreements anyway. Only at Taba he didn't agree, even though his negotiaters wanted him to. Shlomo ben Ami thought it was because he would have had to give up the dream of being a second Saladin, and he couldn't do it.

As for evidence, you have the published testimony of Ehud Barak, Shlomo Ben Ami, Dennis Ross, and Bill Clinton as to what happened at Camp David and Taba. Just because I don't feel like becoming your free research department and going back to find all these articles doesn't mean they never existed. Start with Dennis Ross in FA.
