    So by that sick logic IRAN can't be blamed if they start blowing away children in America daily for a few years because we bombed and killed a bunch of kids in a school there.

    i can't believe you're that historically illiterate.

    but perhaps you are.

    I can recommend some reading on the entirety of the Middle East:

    Start with The Ottoman Centuries
    The A Peace to End All Peace
    Palestine 1936 is also vey good.

    my apologies in advance, these are all long form, and may require a few moments away from the keyboard.

    Since we are out here recommending books:

    From Coexistence to Conquest: International Law and the Origins of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 1891–1949 by Victor Kattan (2009)
    The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappé (2006)
    Palestine Hijacked: How Zionism Forged an Apartheid State from River to Sea by Thomas Suárez (2022)
    The Hundred Years' War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonial Conquest & Resistance, 1917–2017 by Rashid Khalidi (2020)
    The Foundations of Zionism by Sabri Jiryis (1977/1986; translated into English recently)
    Nakba and Survival: The Story of Palestinians Who Remained in Haifa and the Galilee, 1948–1956 by Adel Manna (2022)

    And my personal recommendations:
    The Case for Palestine: An International Law Perspective by John B. Quigley (2005)
    The Invention of the Jewish People by Shlomo Sand (2008)

    Boom and you fell into debating someone that lies routinely, cites random Twitter accounts as fact, and then discounts 4K video footage

    i think we can gauge the objectiveness of these books by their titles.
