I don’t often recommend NPR, but when I do, it’s the pre-2005 “Classic Liberal” documentaries before journalism became 100% “weaponized”.
Most “Palestine Experts” have no awareness of these events of the last 30 years or so. It’s not that they have a different “spin” on them. It’s that they don’t know about them at all.

Revisit FRONTLINE’s seminal documentary on how the Israeli-Palestinian peace process begun at Oslo was derailed and ultimately undone by the dynamics of politics and violence on both sides. (Aired 2002) "Shattered Dreams of Peace: The Road From Oslo" includes interviews with key figures from both sides of the negotiating table including Benjamin Netanyahu, Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres, Saeb Erekat and Ehud Barak.
The documentary traced how the cautious optimism in the aftermath of Arafat and then-Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin signing the 1993 Oslo Accord was undermined in the following years by violence and major setbacks. It explored the growing threat to the peace process posed by radical nationalist factions among both Jews and Palestinians — groups, including Hamas, that opposed all compromise between the two peoples. The documentary also examined the U.S. role in the peace process, including the U.S.-brokered negotiations at Wye River in 1998, Camp David in 2000, and in Taba, Egypt, in 2001.
