Drop the idea of a Palestinian state
He is the first American president to back this. It is his idea. He wants this.

Actually, Bubba and Bush 41, I think, supported a Pali State. There is a lot to criticize Bush on, but if you're going to do so, be accurate about it.

Well, the following links will show you are mistaken about Clinton. On May 7, 1998 Hillary called for creation of a Palestinian state. (The President never did.) It caused a political storm. The administration said that was her own view and not a change in U.S. policy. Here are some links that discuss the issue.

I can’t find ANY time George the Elder called for creation of a Palestinian state. If you can please post it with the link so I can correct my mistake.

In 1998, Clinton drew howls of protests for saying she supported the creation of a Palestinian state. She was later forced to revise her position, bringing it in line with American foreign policy, which states the issue is up to Israelis and Palestinians to decide.

This one wouldn’t copy, but is very good. It quotes Marsha Berry and Mike McCurry saying the administration is not changing U.S. policy to support creation of a Palestinian state.

In an embarrassment for the White House earlier Thursday, Hillary Rodham
Clinton said she supported creation of a Palestinian state. Clinton spokesman
McCurry said that did not reflect the president's belief that Israel and the
Palestinians should resolve the issue themselves.
