Middle-Eastern politics

Right now I'm reading An Accidental Empire by Gershom Gorenberg about Israel leading up to, during, and following the Six Days War. The book is mostly chronological, but echoes back to previous events to add context. I had to include this quote!

"The situation today resembles the complex relationship between a Bedouin man and the girl he kidnaps against her will...You Palestinians, as a nation, don't want us today, but we'll change your attitude by forcing our presence on you." Israeli Defense Minister Dayan
