For anyone interested in digging deeper into myths, this short book is free to download: Ten Myths About Israel. It’s well referenced, lots of citations, and written by an Israeli historian Ilan Pappé (currently at U of Exeter I think). I’m about 2/3 done. It’s very enlightening. You’ll get a somewhat different view from Fisher’s, eg, chapter 4 dispels the myth “Zionism is not Colonialism”.
