Very good overview of the history of the I/P conflict from The Economist
Yea I know, The Economist has a conservative slant on a lot of issues but this is well balanced and shows that both sides share a lot of blame for the continuation of hostilities over the years. It says very little about the current Gaza crisis other than that Israel can't bomb their way peace. But the history, IMO, is pretty good.
