Okay. Almost there.

The post-Oslo explainer is very long, but it has to be, and I think I've done as right by the balance of material as I can.

Time for a walk in the dreary grey, then some squinting at links and numbers (good grief, do they ever keep rising), and then...

30 years of regional politics and the implications we need to consider, whenever we in the West feel an urge to go around shooting off about what "should" be done to secure Middle Eastern peace.

(a.k.a., always ๐Ÿ™ƒ) !

As a quick research aside:

Never trust the numbers you see cited from another source on their own. Look for the original article referenced in the one you're using!

Today I spent a tedious amount of time hunting the origin of a figure that had a bibliographic entry, but no trace of that entry in direct searches for the author or title elsewhere.

I finally found the darned thing on Wayback Machine, but boy, am I annoyed that many scholars just copy-pasted a dead link from each other for years!

Not even myself! That's why I go for a walk before final revisions. :) Gotta clear the old noggin and come back skeptical of all my wording and initial assumptions before that last read-through!
