Klein is a vicious ideological opponent of Israel; inter alia, she
is a proponent of the infamous BDS movement. She belongs to the
lunatic far-far-Left fringe.

There is a great deal of healthy writing out there to educate us
without ingesting the ejaculations of this ideological "merchant of
hate"

I don't accept every word in any of the books I listed but I
recommend them as presenting some good facts and some good ideas
worth thinking about I am more interested in the ideas Klein presents on
the specific
topic than her general demeanour or its perception, or what she
thinks of Israel. People we dislike can say good things and those we
like can say bad things. The great Linus Pauling (the only person to
get two Nobel Prizes in his own right) said a lot of crap about
vitamin C. Expressing your loathing of the author of a book you haven't
read is
not a useful book review. Anyway back to radishes.


I looked over your list of books and it is obvious from the titles
what the conclusions are.


#1 not obvious but you could probably make a fair guess.
#2 really obvious
#3 you must be a mind reader

But aside from the facile observations that the content of many books has a
relationship to their titles did you read any of them? Do you have any
observations about whether they supported their conclusions or not, or do
you make it a point to only read books that support your politics and
pre-conceived ideas?
