What book to give a Zionist?

[u/Jche98]

My cousin is a Zionist. He made Aliyah and has served in the IDF in Gaza and Lebanon. He was in the brigade that responded to Oct 7 and lost one of his best friends to a Hamas bullet that day. I've spoken with him and he's open to learning more. I'm looking for a book to give him which is a very GENTLE introduction to an alternative viewpoint from Zionism, something that won't scare him. Can anyone recommend something.

Tell him to read Hirbet Hiza by S. Yizhar. A classic. In Hebrew. There's a recent translation. About the 1st Israeli invasion of Gaza in '48
