The Friday Read: 13 books to help you understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

13 books to help you understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict Reading suggestions that encompass different aspects of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, complete with historical tomes, personal memoirs and works of fiction. https://www.israel21c.org/books-to-help-you-understand-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict/ One of the most flabbergasting things about the current conflict with Hamas is the amount of disinformation and ignorance worldwide. People in countries far, far from the Middle East wade in with opinions that have little to do with the reality on the ground here, and virtually no comprehension of the history that led us to this moment. Instead people trade accusations on social media, news publications print sensational media headlines, and falsehoods abound. To help provide a better understanding of this century-old conflict, we’ve compiled a reading list of books ranging from historical tomes to personal memoirs and fiction. Opinions may vary, perspectives be different, but the books listed here will provide a far more nuanced and sophisticated look at why Israel and the Palestinians are fighting this seemingly never-ending war. Share it widely with friends and foes alike! Nicky Blackburn Nicky Blackburn
