With so many discussions around the Israeli-Arab conflict, it has become difficult to sift through the truths. Neil Lochery’s well-researched “Why Blame Israel?” (Totem Books, 2005) offers an alternative, unbiased interpretation for us to better understand the circumstances around the conflict. Mr Lochery’s polemics are easy to grasp, but this is not an easy reader: several times, I had to go to Google and Wikipedia to have a background check on people, places, and events. I strongly recommend it, though, and suggest a dedicated time and effort to reading it.
