Yea I’m reading a book on historical Israel / Palestine relations and it’s so hard to motivate myself to read it because it’s just more madness.

Which book? Do you recommend it?

[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

Righteous Victims

I would strongly recommend it.

It’s written by Benny Morris, a Zionist who laughs about starving children, but if you acknowledge that bias the book is a tremendous resource. It’s well cited and Benny does not shy away from describing in detail the atrocities his nation has always committed.

I've had a similar reaction to Hitlers People. It's good, it's informative, it's just so bleak the reminder that so many people went along with it.
