Fascinating read! I can't call it unbiased; in describing the actions of the PLO and the Intifada, it emphasizes the hardship caused by Israeli military action, while downplaying the civilian deaths caused by Palestinian action. It's also not really fair to compare casualty figures without indicating what proportion were civilian and what proportion were military.
Still, it's an interesting review of the history, and I think that its main point, about the differing fundamental narratives, is right on.

Neither can I. However, I guess it's a good example of what is at stake in "official storytelling". Whoever the storyteller happens to be.
Thanks for the responses.
