This is about Palestine mainly but dealing with the idea in general is good too. I'd recommend Blackshirts and Reds but I'm looking for something quick so books aren't an option

    Problem is they don't actually know much and didn't engage with the recent events but now they're trying to learn, you guessed it, thru "neutral" sources and gonna use Google :agony:

        yeah it sounds like they are well-meaning, but just need to develop media criticism skills (which isn't easy)

      Maybe pointing out how because Isreal is one of the Us’s biggest allies and the US press is biases towards it and then recommending some better sources will help them educate themselves without making it seem like you are telling them to read crazy conspiracy stuff
