I read up on two more books: The Palestinians and the Disputed Territories (The World Hot Spots) and Origins and Development of the Arab-Israel Conflict (Ann M. Lesch and Dan Tschirgi).
For Palestinian & Disputed territories, I made a progression map from Ottoman Empire to the "Nakba" of Israel becoming a State. Concluding is with a question of settlement.
For Origins and Development, I took notes about the effect of European colonialism and American involvement after the Hussein-McMahon Correspondence, Sykes-Picot Agreement, and the Balfour Declaration.
The sections from each book I took notes on was about the history of the conflict, and even though I'm not done with the Palestinian question, this info will help me lead up to regional issues of resources as well as governmental roles.
