I think pro-Israel literature is more evidence-based than pro-Palestinian material, so it boils down to a matter of ‘who you gonna trust’.<br /> <br />If you are interested in the history of Middle East in general, I see there’s a huge amount of material concerning the Arab World. <br />If you’re interested to learn more about the history of Israel, an intro to the topic might be, say, The Case For Israel by Alan Dershowitz. <br />Or, if you want to tackle a more demanding heavy tome, there’s Sir Martin Gilbert’s Israel: A History. Also, scour he Jewish virtual library: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/ and websites that are full of links and references, such as Elder of Ziyon. suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693686958796849316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-72381429659826909262017-05-16T22:02:01.751+01:002017-05-16T22:02:01.751+01:00As someone who thinks the best place for The Guard...As someone who thinks the best place for The Guardian is the recycling bin, I can't see anything to argue with about Bowen's analysis of the Sykes-Picot Agreement and the Balfour Declaration.

More general is http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com.<br /><br />These sources often have references to academic sources so you can learn bit by bit if you follow the links.<br /><br />I also follow business and tech blogs and learn things the legacy media wouldn't dare tell you (if indeed they know). How many employees does Intel have in Israel? Would you believe 10,000?

Proof that the BBC is not controlled by Zionists or institutionally pro-Israel is that someone who has a personal grudge against Israel is the BBC's top man reporting on it and the region, with the august position of titled editor.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-91726816611831522512017-05-16T00:10:07.633+01:002017-05-16T00:10:07.633+01:00I've read quite a bit about the dispute over t...I've read quite a bit about the dispute over the years. Not sure any one book stands out. One lesson of history though is that both sides can be right, and both sides can be wrong. Given the realities in the late 40s the UN peace plan was a good one - two states and Jerusalem an international city. I do believe it was essentially the Arabs who scuppered that plan. I think if they had accepted the plan then the Americans would have ensured Israel accepted it as well. Why did the Arabs not accept it? Islam, not anti-colonialism explains that best I think.
