    We hope it goes without saying that here at Lit Hub, we! Love! Books! They are the most precious and sacred objects. Turning down the page of one to make your place is tantamount to breaking your best friend’s finger on purpose. A book can open a whole new world before you. So it only makes sense that 25 of them can teach you everything you need to know about the Israel-Palestine conflict—just ask slender boy king Jared Kushner, architect of Trump’s “Middle East peace plan.”

    Kushner didn’t name any of the titles he alleged to have read, but who cares, really? Books!

    I’ll give the last word to the future Ambassador to Norway:
