Bill Clinton On the Palestinians: “And the only time Yasser Arafat didn't tell me the truth was when he promised me he was gonna accept the peace deal that we had worked out, which would have given the Palestinians a state on 96% of the West Bank and 4% of Israel, and they got to choose where the 4% of Israel was. So they would have the effect of the same land of all the West Bank. They would have a capital in East Jerusalem. I can hardly talk about this…. And they would have equal access all day every day to the security towers that Israel maintained all through the West Bank up to the Golan Heights. All this was offered, including, I will say it again, a capital in East Jerusalem and 2 of the 4 quadrants of the old city of Jerusalem, confirmed by the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak, and his cabinet. And they said no. And I think part of it is that Hamas did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians. They wanted to kill Israelis and make Israel uninhabitable. Well, I got news for them, they were there first before there was their faith existed. They were there. In the time of King David, in the southern most tribes, Hadjardia and Samaria.”

The Book of Genesis, chapters 34 involves the tribe of Jacob (Israel) and the inhabitants of Shechem: Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, was defiled by Shechem, the son of Hamor, the Hivite prince of the land. Hamor proposed that Dinah marry Shechem, suggesting a covenant between their peoples, which would involve intermarriage and shared land. Jacob's sons, particularly Simeon and Levi, pretended to agree but set a condition: all the men of Shechem must be circumcised, as the Israelites could not give their sister to an uncircumcised man. The men of Shechem agreed to this condition, hoping for alliance and intermarriage, and they all underwent circumcision. On the third day, when the men of Shechem were still in pain from the circumcision, Simeon and Levi attacked the city, killed all the males, including Shechem and Hamor, and took Dinah back. They also plundered the city because of the disgrace brought upon their sister.
