Negative Positive
Title: Middle East Science Fiction
Review: If you only read one book about the conflict, this should emphatically not be it. Tanya Reinhart comes from the Noam Chomsky school of anti-Zionism (Chomsky was her PHD thesis supervisor)...that's all you need to know. The publisher describes this book as a middle east primer, but it is anything but that. In fact, this little book, while providing interesting insight into the twisted mindset of an Israeli leftist who is happy to defame and demonize her own country, its leaders and its institutions (as well as just about every other actor in the conflict, including the US and Arafat!), is in fact a highly creative (read extremely one-sided, fabricated and paranoid) work of propaganda. An entertaining work of science fiction, but not the place to go for a balanced understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
