Decent Analysis,
This review is from: Unequal Conflict: The Palestinians & Israel (Paperback)
An excellent intorduction to the politics surrounding the problem of Palestine vs. Israel, this book is very straightforward and easy to read, profusely annotated and suffers from few biases. The author obviously leans much more towards the Palestinian side, but does not treat the Israeli side unfarily. He goes to pains to show how the conflict in the Middle East is not due to "age old struggles" as so many people have it, but are a direct resault of 19th and 20th century plotics. Zionism is painted as an oppressive colonial force, and the Palestinians are seen as the underdogs . . . whether this is due to bias as opposed to reality I doubt. He does not really empahsise the rolls of religions in the conflict, but of land ownership and goes a long way to dispelling popular myths about this conflict in Palestine. A very interesting book.

This review is from: Unequal Conflict: The Palestinians & Israel (Paperback)
This is a very good book and very straightforward. It does not use many political terms and is easy to read. It gives a historical and overall picture of the conflict. The author is very anti-Israeli and makes no secret about it.
