I am reading established history books like Collin's and La Pierre's O Jerusalem!, which are hardly uncritical of any side (you should see what they say about the Irgun) but call the facts as they see them. I would hardly accept Counterpunch articles as unslanted works of history. They have an obvious ax to grind, against the US government. No objective look at the Palestinians could concentrate only on how the US "sold them out" without mentioning how their Arab brethren have screwed them over time and again, and how they have screwed themselves over by clinging to some of the most calamatous leadership a nationalistic movement ever had. Frankly, the Israelis are practically the least of the Palestinian's problems. You could just as well say that the Israelis have been the Palestinian's saviors; if they had some other Arabs for enemies, nobody would care if they were crushed, there wouldn't be a host of UN sponsored NGOs feeding them and paying for them to have babies in perpetuity (at mostly US taxpayer expense, too). The twentieth century created a 100 million refugees. Only the Palestinians remain "refugees" over 50 years on.
