Perhaps, considering the theme of your post, you may want to consider your own ommissions.50 On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho the Lord said to Moses, 51 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you cross the Jordan into Canaan, 52 drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you. Destroy all their carved images and their cast idols, and demolish all their high places. 53 Take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess. 54 Distribute the land by lot, according to your clans. To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one. Whatever falls to them by lot will be theirs. Distribute it according to your ancestral tribes.
55 “‘But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will give you trouble in the land where you will live. 56 And then I will do to you what I plan to do to them.’”
The Bible Numbers 33:50-56
This quote from the bible starts Chapter 12 of Robert Fisks 'The Great War for Civilisation'
The preceeding chapter 'Fifty Thousand Miles from Palestine' gives an exceptionally detailed potted history of the formation of modern Israel. The first ten pages of chapter 11 on Grand Mufti Al Haj Mohamed Amin al-Husseini.
It would be for people wanting to gain an understanding of the subject, far beyond a few vapid minutes of youtube so riddled with omission as to be less than worthless.
It is not for no reason Fisk's work I referanced in the "100 books to read' thread.
