Israel or Palestine, Who's Right?
Since my new novel, “The True Virus”, takes place during the last Gaza/Israeli (2008-2009) war, I had to do a lot of research. At the beginning, I sided with Israel. I even had a Hamas bioterrorist hack into the main CIA computer. But as I soon discovered, Israel wasn’t that innocent in the way they invaded Gaza. Therefore, I decided to create subplots involving a family living in Gaza while at the same time I created characters in the Israeli Defense force. I tried to stay neutral as the author and developed points of view from both sides. Since my book hasn’t been published yet, I would like to know how readers feel about the conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis. I have one publisher who feels I should involve more countries in the area, since there is so much happening over there. So, let the discussion begin!
