The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine

The e-book that’s offering a storm of controversy, from ‘Israel’s bravest historian’ (John Pilger)

Renowned Israeli historian, Ilan Pappe’s groundbreaking e-book revisits the formation of the State of Israel. Between 1947 and 1949, over 400 Palestinian villages have been intentionally destroyed, civilians have been massacred and round one million males, ladies, and youngsters have been expelled from their houses at gunpoint. Denied for nearly six a long time, had it occurred right this moment it may solely have been referred to as “ethnic cleansing”. Decisively debunking the parable that the Palestinian inhabitants left of their very own accord within the course of this warfare, Ilan Pappe provides spectacular archival proof to display that, from its very inception, a central plank in Israel’s founding ideology was the forcible elimination of the indigenous inhabitants. Indispensable for anybody within the present disaster within the Middle East.
