Synopsis
In this groundbreaking book, published on the fiftieth anniversary of the Occupation, the outspoken and radical Israeli historian Ilan Pappe examines the most contested ideas concerning the origins and identity of the contemporary state of Israel. The 'ten myths' that Pappe explores - repeated endlessly in the media, enforced by the military, accepted without question by the world's governments - reinforce the regional status quo. He explores the claim that Palestine was an empty land at the time of the Balfour Declaration, as well as the formation of Zionism and its role in the early decades of nation building. He asks whether the Palestinians voluntarily left their homeland in 1948, and whether June 1967 was a war of 'no choice.' Turning to the myths surrounding the failures of the Camp David Accords and the official reasons for the attacks on Gaza, Pappe explains why the two-state solution is no longer viable.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Israel academic critic of the Zionist project seeks to debunk ten claims advanced in support of Israel. Some are claimed fallacies of the past, eg, Palestine was nulla terra, that the Jews were a people but they lacked their lands, that Zionism is Judaism etc. Claimed present-day fallacies include that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East (cf., Israeli Arabs and Druze as second-class citizens) and that the Oslo Accords of 1993 were the way forward to Middle East peace. Moreover, the author rejects the idea that only a two-state solution will resolve the impasse. 171 pages. Quoted postage for UK 2nd class. Overseas at least £5.80. Seller Inventory # 7333
