and arafat stops and says, i wouldn't do that.wouldn't go there. >> host: are you convinced that meant he knew? >> guest: i'm convinced this way. i think arafat was like an organized crime leader, like gambino, giving a wink and a nod. didn't know the specifics but i think hell knew something was going to happen, that hamas was going to stage an operation the next day, and this was the dilemma that -- this was the context that ross, dennis ross, told me the story, and i've talked to some israeli officials about this task. they had a sense that arafat had a feeling that these incidents were taking place and was giving a wink and a nod to them, and a tacit approval and yet they never confronted him with it because they felt that arafat was the key to the peace process. >> host: so, again, we don't want to go into this in great detail took you a little off track there because the story is so interesting. >> guest: all interrelated. >> host: the families that filed this massive lawsuit, they want to get, what, 40 million -- i forget t

i actually don't credit where being and i don't credit our -- rabin and arafat with being, in that sense, great leaders. there were leaders who took advantage of an opportunity that if anything, in my view, was created by ronald reagan and gorbachev. those are the people i would credit more. what did they create? they created a moment in history where the arab world or some of the arab countries lost their soviet backing. america emerged as a hyperpower. one million soviet jews were immigrating to the united states -- to israel. israel emerged all of a sudden in the perception as a very powerful nation. the arab world and the palestinians lost legitimacy when they supported saddam hussein in some of the weakest moments. if you believe that at the core of the conflict lies the continued denial of the arab world that the jewish people have a right to self-determination, have a real claim and an attachment to the lands, if you believe this is at the core of the conflict, then peace can only emerge when the arab world despairs of the possibility that the jewish people can somehow be made to
