Comments about PBS Elusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs DVD:

This is a fly-on-the-wall documentary of the events of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from 2000 to 2005. I consider it as a sequel to the PBS documentary The Fifty Years War: Israel and the Arabs. If you are not intimately familiar with the conflict, this documentary is probably too specific / narrowly-focused for you.

Overall, it's a great documentary, generally impartial although you may question its portrayal of Arafat as the one responsible for the collapse of the 2000 Camp David talks. I also question its portrayal of the 2000 talks as being solely about Jerusalem and notice that no mention was made of the Taba talks in 2001. Nevertheless, it's still worth watching, especially for taking you behind closed doors to listen to accounts of key leaders describing their decision calculus at the time.
