> "Many historians disagree that the israelis didn't buy the land." [citation needed]

Friedman "From Beirut to Jerusalem" link, Benny Morris claims that some of the land was purchased, the JNF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JNF) and http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_1991to_now_israel_land.php

> Well good for you

naturally you ignore this and prefer a bigoted response.

> My humanity is not in question, except by you.

Yes, but this is what you responded to.

Its chapter on the history is short, but if you're interested in people's current views on it and how it impacts current life (at least as of 1989), I would strongly recommend Thomas Friedman's "From Beirut to Jerusalem".

Yeah, it's the same guy who wrote "The World is Flat". He was stationed as a reporter in Beirut during the period around the Lebanese Civil War and covered all kinds of Israeli-Palestinian conflicts. His reporting at the time won two Pulitzers, and the book won the National Book Award. It's an immensely fascinating read.

And yes, Friedman is Jewish, but his writing is pretty fair, and acknowledges bias where it exists. He's pretty heavy-handed in condemning many of Israel's tactics, probably to the point of holding them to a higher moral standard than the PLO.

Give it a shot.

Thomas Freidman wrote From Beirut to Jerusalem about two decades ago and it is still such a great read.
