  1. Zionism, the real enemy of the Jews by Alan Hart

    Alan Hart's brilliant book, "Zionism, the real enemy of the Jews" hitherto only available from the UK in hard cover, is be to available in paperback in April, 2009. This is great news - the book, currently in 2 volumes, is a treasuretrove of information.

  2. Witness in Palestine: a Jewish American Woman in the Occupied Territories by Anna Baltzer

    Perfect for beginners and experts alike, easy to read, gives a very clear picture of what it is like to live under occupation. Complete with many references and an abundance of photographs. A wealth of information.

  3. The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe

    Excellent book, written straight from Ben Gurion's diaries and the IDF archives by an Israeli historian. Brilliant and very courageous man. Definitely one of the best books with which to start.

  4. In Search of Fatima by Ghada Karmi

    One woman's description of what happened to her in 1948, and the huge difficulties of being a refugee in a far away land. Beautifully written.

  5. When the Birds Stopped Singing by Raja Shehadeh.

    One man's account of life under curfew. Gives an idea of what it is like to live under Occupation - total powerlessness of the people. Every aspect of their lives is controlled by the occupying power.

  6. Sharon and my Mother-in-law by Suad Amiry.

    One woman's curfew experience - both poignant and humorous.

  7. A Little Piece of Ground by Elizabeth Laird.

    This book is a story written for middle school students; on life as a child living under the Occupation. Should be read by every adult.

  8. The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy by Mearsheimer and Walt.

    For those interested in the political side, and the USA involvement.

  9. The Great War for Civilisation; the Conquest of the Middle East, by award-winning journalist Robert Fisk.

    Brilliant book that covers not only the Palestine/Israel conflict, but also Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, the Holocaust of the Armenians, Algeria, Kuwait, Jordan, Syria, and Libya, and the business of selling weapons. (Fisk's writings on Lebanon are covered in a separate book.)
