Israel

[Tom Beshear]

It was written long before Friedman because a columnist and the hack he is 
today. It's mostly reportage w/some opinion, and he's definitely more on the 
Israeli side of things. He gives a pretty good historical overview of the 
region. It is, however, about 20 years out of date. I can't think of 
anything more recent that isn't tendentious.
