My struggle with Israel

[Big Blue Marble]

1. From your writing, you seem a deep and thoughtful person.

Have you read any literature or writings by Palestinians to learn of their side of this
conflict? I would suggest the scholar and author, Rashid Khalidi. His book
The Hundred Years War against the Palestinians is great start. Of course,
there is Edward Said's classic The Question Of Palestine.

These books share an intellectual basis and a narrative from the Palestinian prospective
that we in U.S are not aware without seeking it out. For all the decades, our views of Palestinians
are intentionally shaped by Israel so that it is much easier to identify with their plight and
not that of the Palestinians. That makes what is happening in Gaza that much more confusing
to many.
