With regards to Barak's Camp David talks in 2000, the actual content has been secret for a long time. However late last year a dossier of the negotions were published in Haaretz. The disconnected state of Palestine would be less than 20% of their historic homeland and would lose virtually the entire Jordan Valley, the only seriously fertile area in the region. Huge sections of Jerusalem would be annexed to Israel. Israel would have continued with 400,000 illegal settlers in the West Bank, with linked security roads turning the Palestinian towns into isolated enclaves.
Under this 'offer' it is hardly surprising that Arafat rejected the proposal.

Now I'll read your link...
.... and, sadly, that doesn't surprise in the least.
