Isreal (1 Viewer)

Is there a good general history book of the region that dates back to ancient times? I'm not finding anything along those lines. Most of the books relate to the post WWII conflicts.
 
I think Israel has finally stumbled on a formula that might be more effective than waging the typical war. Target the leadership of the organizations that they are fighting wherever they may be. The indiscriminate bombing of cities and endless ground fighting accomplishes very little in the longer term. The terrorist leadership in that region appears to be influenced by only one thing. Fear for their own safety. Negotiation and weakness such as that advocated by the current US government simply emboldens them. It's time for Israel to settle scores and wipe the slate clean of those who have conducted terrorism for decades. Half measures won't cut it. Kudos to Netanyahu for not caving to the US pressure.
