"Under Clinton, Israel conceded to ALL Palestinian demands other than repatriation within Israel borders and a few hilltops for security reasons."
Rubbish. The Barak plan, which is the furthest Israel had been willing to go envisioned a fractured Palestinian state divided into a number of disjointed bantuslands with no territorial continuity. Palestinians traveling from one bantusland to another would've needed to go through an IDF checkpoint and subjected to Israel approval. Any Israeli officer at a military checkpoint would've had the authority to prevent a Palestinian citizen from traveling in his own country. Additionally, Israel demanded full control of all west bank water resources and air space.
