In the most recent edition of The Nation, there’s an excellent review of five books about Israel. The review goes way beyond the usual superficial stuff you usually hear - especially on the news that, following politicians’ examples, show the world as black and white. Recommended!

PS: For once, I disabled comments. I know you have your opinion about Israel and Palestine, we all do. So if you’re outraged that the review doesn’t agree with your opinion that’s too bad. Instead of writing angry letters start thinking about it. I’m fairly sick of the state of affairs of any debate about Israel. We’re all not in first grade any more, I think we can or at least should try to do better - like the author of that review and some of the authors.
