What is most remarkable about this non-controversial (fact-wise) run-down, is how absolutely absent it is in traditional media. The history of the Israel-Palestine conflict is documented in minute detail dating to the initiation of the Zionist movement in the late 1800s. Public opinion about Israel and the Palestinians would be the opposite or worse of what it is now if the average citizen knew even half of it. Even reading a single book, The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, by Ilan Pappé, would be a startling eye-opener for most Americans (the Nakba didn't happen just during the Israeli was of independence - it started before, continued during, and persisted after the 1948 war, was planned and carried out with surgical precision and purpose).

Indeed you are right.
