But what are you reading on Israel/Palestine?
Anything at all? I notice you seem chronically short of sources, and I guess we now know why....
Why do I actually have to read a book on the conflict? There are so many articles on the Internet to choose from. I am not like you, listing a huge amount of books. I feel people can find whatever books they feel like reading by doing their own research. Now I will leave you, Amity, to ride your horse all day waving the Palestinian banner, while I enjoy lunch and shopping with my daughter. See, Amity, a normal life and not one consumed about one thing only like you are.
Did you actually say ... WHY DO I ACTUALLY HAVE TO READ A BOOK?
I can't believe it.
Look, my dear, I can buy a web address this very afternoon and by eventide have an entire website up alleging all kinds of stuff, I could even make up an entire country, and I don't even need to post my own name, nothing can be reviewed by my peers, etc.
If you bestir your lazy brain to read a book that is published by a reputable publishing house, you have some assurances that a team of scholars has reviewed said book and found it worthy of paper and ink. Any jerk can put up a website that has no correspondence with truth whatsoever, but only the intellectually competent can publish a book.
So if you want to have any credibility at all in regard to a subject you profess to know something about ... READ A BOOK.
Now run along to lunch.
