Below is review of a new book on the subject.
Most Israelis avoid going to the Palestinian territories and live in denial of reality. Some exceptions are groups of young Israelis like, "Breaking Silence", who lead tours to the territories, and Haaretz daily (English version available online), which routinely covers abuses in Palestine. A notable Israeli philosopher, the late Yeshayahu Leibowitz, predicted already in 1967 the termendous corrupting effect that would result from the holding of one nation hostage by another. jz

Drop the New York Times’ international section and pick up Max Blumenthal’s new book. If you want to peel back the layers of deception pro-Israel groups and the media have created, Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel is the perfect place to start. It’s the bluntest book you’ll read about the state of Israeli society, as it looks deep into the soul of an ethnocracy that dominates the lives of millions of Palestinians.
Blumenthal’s book, based on four years of on-the-ground reporting and research, takes the reader from the occupied West Bank to prisons for African refugees to Palestinian areas within Israel. Through a series of profiles and vignettes, he paints a devastating portrait of a country obsessed with demographics bent on permanently subjugating the non-Jews who live between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.
