Uri Avnery: 80 theses on peace in Palestine
Useful point summary of the history of Zionism and the Arab/Israeli conflict. Pays particular attention to the failure of the Oslo accords, and the need for each side to understand the "national narrative" of the other. Ignores Sadat's 1971 peace offer, and hence perhaps underemphasises the willingness of the Arabs and Palestinians to recognise Israel and establish peace dating from the 70s at least.
