A worthy analysis...
...do not be misled by the publication date. Peretz's writing on the refugee dynamic continues to be quite relevant to the conflict. He traces the development of the refugee problem, and explores myriad instituitions conceived of and implemented to deal with the refugees. Peretz also offers a series of explorations of the potential solutions to the refugee problem: something that is only now becoming more widely recognised by the policymaking community. A very fine analysis, recommended for serious students of the conflict and/or region.

Biased But Still Informative
Biased but still informative quick history of the dispute up to 1996. The writer, apparently a Jewish non-Zionist, shows deep sympathy for the Palestinian Arab cause. A careful reading of his annotated bibliography shows his lopsided favoritism for such sources as Palestinian Arab Nationalist propaganda, Antisemitic tract-writers like the unbalanced Israel Shahak, and now much-disputed, far-left revisionist historians. In his history section, Peretz lingers on the Palestinian Arab refugee problem while making only short mention of the long history of the Arab-Islamic oppression of the Jews and of the often neglected story of Jewish refugees from Arab countries. Decades of Palestinian Arab terrorism against both Jews and Arab 'collaborators' also gets only brief and general mention. Nonetheless, I credit him for trying to get beyond his obvious sympathies to a more factual, even-handed view--although he often doesn't succeed. Peretz provides enough facts to not leave much doubt of the main source of the Arab-Israeli dispute: continuing Arab failure to accept the Jews and Israel.
