I'll recommend one book only - The Invention of the Jewish People by Shlomo Sand
Reason - contemporary history of the ME turns around Israel and it's therefore necessary to understand the truth and the fiction behind the Zionist state.
>You're telling me, that after 2000 years of persecution and mass-murder/exile, I'm supposed to just believe that anti-semitism doesn't exist anymore?
I've no doubt whatsoever it does still exist, it is no longer the threat it was though.
In any case as you mentioned history you may find this enlightening..
>And that is why I believe that the Jews deserve a homeland
Homelands have borders, something Israel refuses to agree to.
>I'm not talking about the means that they used to get it
Of course you aren't. The ends justify the means?
>I'm not talking about the people they kicked out (it is still debated today what made them leave, but no doubt it was a little of both
It's only debated by people trying to rewrite history, here you go have a read..

>I'm talking about the right to live in peace and security.
The Palestinians deserve that as well.
>If you must know, the Palestinians were offered a two-state solution in 1948, and they refused.
Of course they refused. If the UN said a bunch of Martians were allowed to settle in your back yard, and then offered you a two state 'solution' with them taking most of the land, what would you do?
