"They get more freedoms and a better quality of life than anywhere else in the middle east. In the written law at the very least, they have equal rights."
This is a hell of a statement to make.
For an interesting point of view, I recommend a book called "The Hundred Years War on Palestine." It starts in 1917 and discusses the origins of the state before 1948. It then continues until 2017. I'd honestly like to hear your thoughts if you read it.
