For those of you who haven't read the book "From Time Immemorial", I suggest you get it and read it. Joan Peters, the author, set out in the late 1970's to Israel as a human rights activist, to write a book about the plight of the Palestinian people. She did seven years of original research, collecting historical documents from around the Middle East, but especially from historical Palestine and Israel.
Ms. Peters ended up writing a book totally opposite than what she expected to write. Her research showed that Arabs have been playing games all along and it is important for Israel supporters to know exactly what the Arabs have been up to. I highly recommend this book - I'm only 3 chapters in and I have learned so much. The book is extremely well referenced, so if anybody questions the authenticity of your claims, you can find references very easily. It is a must-read for all of us.
Another great book is "Myths and facts" by Mitchell Bard, which details all types of myths Arab supporters use. You can also find this book online at http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/myths/mftoc.html
We need to be well armed to deflect the untruths told by Arab supporters everyday. Good luck to all of you!
