Do you know a book which deals with the intertwined histories of Palestine and Israel? A book which is UNBIASED - I want FACTS, not opinions? Before AND after the creation of Israel. A book which explains why the Jews think they were entitled to this land (I know the basics, but I want a bit more details). Why did Britain decide to give them Israel? And everything that happened afterwards?

Start with http://www.palestinefacts.org
It's a fairly comprehensive site that covers all the major points.
Or try the the book "From Time Immemorial: The Origins of the Arab-Jewish Conflict over Palestine" by Joan Peters

Mostly that you will find will be partial views about actual analysis. You must go deeper in History, you must read how Islam was created and how it cames its expansion. After, you must do the same about Hebrew, begining from Yemenites jews.
Suddenly, you must go direct to the end of XIX and begginig of the XX, when Europe was the main ruler there, then you will understand why it was possible to them require that area after WWII. Of course, you must undersdand that history about land, comes from the time when Hebrews went of from Egypt (actual history says that they werent slaves but had another contract agreement)
I do not know any book, but I believe if you collect the facts, you will be able to arrive to your own conclusions and then, compare with what are we hearing on TV and reading on maganizes.
Lucky in your search. Please always compare responses. Few writer are partials. Give preference to history books first; (I've read Creation, Expansion of Islam) , buit about hebrews, everything from internet are not so common books talking about it.
