I have always been in favor of Israel, but I wanted to see why others support Israel and to read about the legal decisions that went into the U.N. Sanctioning the formation of this country.

Well, I'm not exactly surprised the openly Zionist Dershowitz is so in favour of Israel. Have you ever seen him speak? I have and I truly hope you don't take him as even close to an unbiased reporter of what goes on in Israel.
As someone who studies the Middle East, and Israel/Palestince specifically, I would recommend "The Gun and the Olive Branch: The Roots of Violence in the Middle East" by David Hirst. It's considered by most scholars to be the definitive work on Palestine/Israel. If you truly are interested in this subject, you owe it to yourself to pick up this book.
