A few days ago we passed the anniversary of the Oslo I Accord, US President Bill Clinton’s attempt to foster a durable Israeli-Palestinian peace accord that turned out instead to be a lopsided, unworkable framework that’s fostered nothing but many years of failure and frustration.

But that was still a pretty significant accomplishment.

Awesome write-up. Shared with a family member, who is a big Jimmy Carter fan. Keep up the awesome work!
