A History of the Jews in Babylonia II: The Early Sasanian Period (University of South Florida Studies in the History of Judaism)

Politics doesn't really appeal to me. I believe that your point of view can be shaped by those surrounding you and pressured to conform to it . However, the title of this book caught my attention( Israel opposing viewpoints) and I wanted to read it and finally come to the bottom of this Israeli- Palestinian conflict. Now it's either one of two : 1- The authors are so stupid (smart enough not to mention their names) and don't know anything. For instance not acknowledging that Jews can be Arabs. Or 2- From an Israeli point of view there is really not a substantive argument, because a- the authors are highly subjective b- the authors are not giving the whole picture for the reader to make a sound judgment.

This is a waste of time , anybody with little background on the Israeli- Palestinian conflict would not fall for this book.
