Mitchell Plitnick of Jewish Voice for Peace and Professor Joel Beinin of Stanford University put together a Booklist for reading up on the conflict.
You will find sections on the Holocaust, Zionism, Palestinian Nationalism, the history of the conflict, and more. The book list arose out of a wonderful lecture series JVP sponsored in San Francisco a couple of years ago, featuring distinguished professors from around the Bay Area, each presenting on an aspect of the conflict. The professors were pretty evenly divided among Arab-Americans, Israeli-Americans, and others.
In the darkest moments of human history, books keep the flame of hope alive.
