Former US President Bill Clinton is playing the hindsight quarterback, stating with certainty that if Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin had not been assassinated, there would have been a comprehensive regional peace in three years.
Addressing a Rabin Center event on motzei shabbos, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate stated that “divorce between Israel and the Palestinians is not an option”, adding that despite the passing of 14 years since the assassination, he still misses the late prime minister “terribly”.
It was Clinton who brokered the disastrous Oslo Agreement, which culminated with a White House signing ceremony which led to a Nobel Prize, a prize given to the president as well as Shimon Peres, Yitzchak Rabin and arch terrorist Yasser Arafat.
Since the signing of the accord, Israel has endured unprecedented terror attacks inside the heart of the nation, leaving some 1,500 people dead and thousands injured, many having to cope with lifelong physical disabilities and emotional scarring. It has led to increased land concessions, a process which not only compromised Israel deterrence and intelligence abilities, but led to a sharp increase in terror.

what’s a hindsight quaterback?? i guess you meant monday morning quaterback. close enough.
Oh Mr. President, do you really think that the Jews would be safe in Israel or do you think the Jewish state of Israel would be destroyed?
What a useful thing for the former president to say. You know, had all those scandals not happened while he was in office, Mr. Clinton’s own efforts certainly could have solved the Middle East crisis, the financial woes, have created world peace, and brought the Messiah!
Too bad.
Brilliant. As I wrote in a differet point – could’ve should’ve would’ve. Amazing!
