Israel

This was a fantastic primer on Israel, and you can tell how hard Tishby tried to present the material with an even hand. My friend and I are having our final discussion about this book tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to reading more about this region of the world, perhaps from a Palestinian and/or Arab perspective next.

One thing though, she describes that sometimes when Israel is attacked, she hits back too hard, and to that I say YA THINK. This was published in 2021, and as such Tishby couldn't have known about the Oct. 7 attack of Hamas on Israel, and the massive retaliation Israel would rain down on Gaza.

I keep trying to think of other things to say about this book but I'm at a loss at the moment. Maybe more later after we discuss.
