Also, if you're interested in Israeli history from a pro-Jewish perspective, you'll probably like Leon Uris's novel The Haj. I learned a lot, personally.
The whole history of the situation is riveting, honestly. If Yitzhak Rabin hadn't been assassinated in 1995 (putting Netanyahu in power), who knows how the present situation might have unfolded?
