Start with the Wikipedia entry on the subject and then make your way down slowly to what Israeli historians have to say on the subject.

Why did you leave out Benny Morris[0] from your list of New Historians[1]?

No problem, include him. Also include Norm Finklestein and watch their debate hosted by Lex Fridman.

Why would he be one of the New Historians? Norman Finkelstein isn't really even a historian, he's more of a activist/political scientist if anything AFAIU.

I've seen it, it's pretty clear if you dig into the facts that the accusations of genocide against Israel are not supported by the evidence.
It's also quite clear that people like Norman Finkelstein like to cherry-pick facts(often from books written by Benny Morris) to support a particular narrative. Benny Morris tends to take a more balanced view of the history in general which has a lot of nuance.
