Synopsis

Renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappe's groundbreaking book revisits the formation of the State of Israel. Between 1947 and 1949, over 400 Palestinian villages were deliberately destroyed, civilians were massacred, and around a million men, women, and children were expelled from their homes at gunpoint.

Denied for almost six decades, had it happened today it could only have been called "ethnic cleansing." Decisively debunking the myth that the Palestinian population left of their own accord in the course of this war, Ilan Pappe offers impressive archival evidence to demonstrate that, from its very inception, a central plank in Israel's founding ideology was the forcible removal of the indigenous population. This is an indispensable book for anyone interested in the current crisis in the Middle East.

This book doesn't need a review. It's a piece of living history, it should be school material instead of the lies and rubbish TV churns out on a daily basis. So well documented, so much empathy. So much respect for this man having the courage to write the truth.......more

Goodreads review by فهد

التطهير العرقي في فلسطين في الوقت الذي يخوض فيه أبطال القسام معركة جديدة مع العدو الصهيوني، قررت أن اقرأ هذا الكتاب المهم جداً للمؤرخ الإسرائيلي إيلان بابه، تأتي أهمية الكتاب من عدة عوامل، أولها ولا ريب من أن مؤلفه إسرائيلي، وهذا ينزع من الكتاب أي شبهة تعاطف مع الفلسطينيين، ويجعلنا نفترض أن الكتاب س......more
