Meretz USA has prepared an excellent guide to the upcoming peace conference in Annapolis between Israel and the Palestinian authority.
Whether you follow the Middle East just a little or consider yourself an expert, this should be a very valuable resource.
Don't know who Mertz USA is?
MeretzUSA is "a US non-profit organization that supports a genuine peace between the State of Israel and its neighbors (including the Palestinian people) based on a negotiated land-for-peace solution. Meretz USA supports full civil and human rights for Israeli citizens, regardless of ethnicity, race, religion, gender, national origin, or sexual orientation."
It is independent of, but philosophically attuned to Meretz-Yachad, the left-wing, social democrratic party which has 5 seats in the Israeli Knesset.

Meretz is a good example of why progressives, whatever their views on Zionism, should support progressive Zionists as they broaden the debate on Israel/Palestine in the U.S.
I know several Zionist socialist summer camps run by Habonim Dror still exist, but I don't know what kind of pedagogy or outreach they do on those issues.
