Lionel,
Read some more history before linking ME politics to Freemasonry and
presenting an analysis to the UN.
Critical works on the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict are not difficult
to come by. Check out the books of people like Simha Flapan, Avi Shlaim,
Benny Morris, Tom Segev. They are part of what Israelis call the "New
Historians" and provide a critical appraisal of the dominant Zionist
narrative on the formation of Israel.
Perhaps somebody can suggest some books written by Arab authors.
