This debunks some of the false narrative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8bkqqvoGpc You may criticize him for taking a side. On the other hand, I prefer that to someone who just pretends to be even handed. For the record, I listen to the viewpoints of plenty of people on the other side, as well. But I'm afraid I find their narrative doesn't hang together. |

I would recommend again the series I linked in my previous comment. The series creator says at one point, that had he been born a Jew, he would have been a hardcore Zionist; conversely, had he been born a Palestinian, he would have been a hardcore supporter of that side. One of the things the series does so well is, instead of presenting the history as a debate between two camps that needs to have a winner and loser, it tells the story. For all the major players in the story, it tells you not only what they did, but why they did it, and how they came to believe what they believe. And then it asks you what you would have done in their situation. After you've stared that question in the face, it's impossible to really hate either side IMO.
It's a long series, many hours of listening, but absolutely worth every second. Hooked me from the first few minutes. You won't regret it!
