Yup.

I don't know, sorry.

But remember to ask politely in future.

Manners are a bourgeois pretension!

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the world’s major sources of instability. Americans are directly connected to this conflict, and increasingly imperiled by its devastation.

It is the goal of If Americans Knew to provide full and accurate information on this critical issue, and on our power – and duty – to bring a resolution.

The Clash of Fundamentalisms: Crusades, Jihad, and Modernity by Tariq Ali: http://www.amazon.com/Clash-Fundamentalisms-Crusades-Jihads-Modernity/dp/1859846793

It starts with the birth of Islam and goes until now. It discusses much more than Palestine and Israel, so a good book and interactions between the Middle East and the West.
