Need help finding some books

[Kiouni]

about the history of the Israeli-Palestine conflicts including ancient and modern conflicts. I've read wikipedias articles on it but I still don't have a firm grasp of what really is going on or what issues or even sides to support. Any advice would be appreciated.

1. Check Out

Bernard Lewis. I know he's a historian who writes about the middle east. Not sure of his titles and if they particularly addess the Palestinian/Israel problem, but he might be a good starting point.
