Blaming the Victims: Spurious Scholarship and the Palestinian Question by Edward W. Said, Christopher Hitchens
5.0
This is an excellent and must read on the conflict, but it is very academic, I should warn you. It reads like a textbook rather than human interest, so it is hard to get into, but it is worth the trouble.
There is a section devoted to debunking the lies in From Time Immemorial, which is enlightening to say the least, even if you haven't read the book because those lies are repeated over and over by the 'Israel can do no wrong' crowd.
This is a great explanation of the often neglected Palestinian point of view. The Israeli position is always well supported, understood and explained in our media and government; you will be a step ahead of the majority by reading this book since you will know both sides.
In a world where criticism of Israel = anti-Semitism, you have to do yourself a favor and read this book!
