Negative Positive
Title: Unscholarly material
Review: I can see from the other reviews that this book has an audience. But it is simply antizionist propaganda with little connection to reality. I do not recommend it.Oh, there's some great storytelling. You'll discover that the ancestors of the Arabs (but not the Jews) lived in the area over 12,000 years ago. And founded Jericho! And you'll find out that the Jews were absent from the area for 1900 years. And much, much more. Even if such statements were true, they would be irrelevant to the Arab-Israeli conflict.If you want to know something about the Arab-Israeli conflict, there are plenty of reasonable books on the subject. My advice for a beginners level book is "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Middle East Conflict," by Mitchell Bard. I also recommend "Islam and Dhimmitude," by Bat Ye'or. And yet another reasonable book is "The Rape of Palestine and the Struggle for Jerusalem," by Lionel Casper.
Is the review positive or negative?
