Avi Shlaim, a huge fan of King Husayn (and also of Rabin, of course), betrays more than a tinge of colonial racism in this line: "a modest experiment in Palestinian self-government". So the Palestinians are not a mature people and thus it is required that they go through an experimental period of self-government? Also, notice that he believes that Palestinian "violence" was a "contributing factor" to the collapse of Oslo, but says not a word about Israeli terrorism. And this is considered Zionist revisionism. If this is Zionist historiographer revisionism please bring me back classical Zionist historiography: at least it makes no pretenses. His only criticisms of Oslo is that bad faith of Netanyahu--one person in Israel.
