The book that is providing a storm of controversy, from ‘Israel’s bravest historian’ (John Pilger)

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. Indispensable for anyone interested in the current crisis in the Middle East.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'A major intervention in an argument that will, and must, continue. There's no hope of lasting Middle East peace while the ghosts of 1948 still walk.', Independent

'Along with the late Edward Said, Ilan Pappe is the most eloquent writer of Palestinian history.', New Statesman

'Pappe has opened up an important new line of inquiry into the vast and fateful subject of the Palestinian refugees. His book is rewarding in other ways. It has at times an elegiac, even sentimental, character, recalling the lost, obliterated life of the Palestinian Arabs and imagining or regretting what Pappe believes could have been a better land of Palestine.', Times Literary Supplement

'Ilan Pappe is Israel's bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.', John Pilger - director of The War on Democracy and author of Freedom Next Time

'Superb account of how, and why, Palestinians were driven out of their homes.', Socialist Review

'Pappe’s book is an essential read for anyone trying to understand the politics and history of the Middle East.', Frontline Magazine (an Independent Marxist review from Scotland)

'Leading Israeli historian Ilan Pappe delves into his country's bloodied past in search of answers in the present.', Morning Star

'Pappe is one of the brave few voices to stand up and be counted in the oppressive atmosphere of Israeli society. Pappe's book is a searing account of the horrific brutality perpetrated during the birth of the state of Israel.', Morning Star

'Pappe is well positioned to lob a grenade such as this one into the twin worlds of Middle Eastern studies and politics. Pappe's book should shock and shame the academic world', Arab Banker

'Pappe's ethical clarity and humane vision permeate The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine... Given the meticulous research and compelling moral imperative embodied in The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, Zionism itself may be in trouble.', Race and Class

Extremely Well Written and Documented

August 29, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Sentence after sentence, page after page, documented atrocities against Palestinians from 1947-1949 are described. Details of Zionist plans from Theodor Herzl, Ben Gurion and many other Zionist leaders make it crystal clear that they wanted a PURE Jewish stare with ZERO Palestinians from long before 1948. Ben Gurion’s 1937 letter to his son clearly spells out the the Palestinians would need to be removed. That is only one of DOZENS on examples detailed in this book. This is a MUST READ!

An evidence-based historical analysis of the plight of the Palestinian people from 1945 to our day

September 13, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

An extremely well documented account of the land-grab initiated by Ben-Gurion and continued throughout Netanyahu, resulting in the killing or displacement of hundreds of thousands Palestinians; initially supported by the British and continued by American administrations, whether actively of by casting a blind eye. A must read for those interested in the true history of the Middle East. With such a ¾ of century history, It is hard to conceive of a two-state solution.

Ron Morita

The most important book on the Levant to appear in modern times

September 2, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

With the descriptive detail of a born and raised Israeli and the thorough documentation of a history professor, Pappe describes the forceable removal of the indigenous Palestinian population in a campaign of terror, rape, and systematic looting orchestrated by the highest levels of the Israeli government. Whether or not you agree with its premises, it is an important turning point in raising public awareness of the dark side of the "Israeli Miracle." Dwelling on specific events documented by hundreds of footnotes, it is an easy read relatively free of political rhetoric and heavy-handed erudition.

As an Israeli I must say that nothing prepared me for the experience

February 19, 2019

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The narrative might be somewhat biased but the facts cannot be disputed and are totally eradicated in the internal historical existence inside of Israel, This level of truth bending cannot stand the test of time this late past the 20th century. A must read albeit extremely emotional and difficult for every Israeli who wishes there to be ray of hope and understanding in this part of the middle east.

The hidden side of Isreal history

April 25, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The creation of Isreal, and history of violence is a complicated issue for any outsider. Most Americans are unaware of this history, and other few who are aware, have probably been exposed to only one side of history. As our political structures are globally linked, its important that we all know. Pappe does a great job unraveling the other half of this history. However, you will still need to read the pro Isreal history to see the entire history. Pappe's bias is most obvious in the glossing over of important details, regarding arab attacks on jews. Better quality maps and photos would have pushed this to 5 stars. The maps provided on the kindle edition are blurry and not very detailed. I cant believe its over 300 pages focusing mainly on 1947-1949. This makes it seem a bit tedious and repetitive at times.
