Namely pushing for a separate Palestinian state. If certain terrorist attacks hadn't happened there might not have been a six year gap between the last serious overture toward a separate Paelstinian state (if no more than in pro forma diplo-speak) and now. Not that this means a Palestinian state will happen or that it's even necessarily a good idea but Clinton didn't set one up thanks to Arafat not wanting anything less than "complete" success, as opposed to 90% success. Of course if success is annihilating Israel as opposed to an actual Palestinian state that's another matter, too.
Since I'm not a dispensationalist/futurist I don't particularly care if this is seen by the Hal Lindsey/Jack van Impe troupe as a sign of the coming apocalypse that has been set to happen within the generation that settled Israel for three generations.
