SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit
TITLE: reddit- I'm tired of criticizing others for their opinions of ignorance while I hypocritically do the same (even though my opinion is the correct one of course)...
POST: example: I'd consider myself pro-Palestinian, and recently started dating a girl from Tel-Aviv. I can't even bring the topic of the clash up without her referencing how Israel gives Palestine everything they need to live, and that Palestinians use kids as human shields in firefights. I consistently read news stories on reddit that tend to be anti-Israel, and while I'm sure atrocious acts can be credited to both sides, it seems that on the teeter-totter of Justice the Israeli government hovers heavier on the assholes side.

Now obviously I'm never going to convince this girl that her indoctrination is incorrect. However, I'd like to have some more in depth background knowledge of the conflict that isn't rooted solely in questionable articles. Anyone know of any semi-unbiased historian who has written a readable history of this conflict? The same goes for any regions of the world that a non-AP-History-US-public-school-graduate might be interested in knowing about...
TL;DR: 
I'm pretty sure I'm ignorant. I'd like to know some shit about world history (example used of the Israel-Palestine conflict). Who writes good shit about this shit?
