while i do not think that this framework (israeli-palestinian conflict) serves aas more than a backdrop (it does not help understand the various phases of the fundamentalist movement in islam, nor the non-relation between these and islam in general) this article is nonetheless interesting for dismantling much of the cant above about the israeli state.
other stuff on a more specific/germain level to follow.
