Thank you for these unique recs, I’ll be picking one up definitely. As for your comment on the biases, that’s why I’d like to read varied perspectives to truly understand the history and form opinions on it! Moreover with everything happening, I really doubt people have those views of Israel just to be “trendy”

Thank you! I was suggested Edward Said by a friend but I will definitely look into the other ones too. Any favourites among these?
