An indispensable guide to understanding the Israel–Palestine conflict, and how we might yet still find a way out of it.
"Ilan Pappe is the most original, radical and hard-hitting of Israel's 'new historians.'" —Avi Shlaim, author of Three Worlds
The devastation of 7 October 2023 and the horrors that followed astounded the world. But the Israel–Palestine conflict didn't start on 7 October. It didn't start in 1967 either, when Israel occupied the West Bank, or in 1948 when the state of Israel was declared. It started in 1882, when the first Zionist settlers arrived in what was then Ottoman Palestine. Ilan Pappe untangles the history of two peoples, now sharing one land. Going back to the founding fathers of Zionism, Pappe expertly takes us through the twists and turns of international policy towards Israel–Palestine, Palestinian resistance to occupation, and the changes taking place in Israel itself.

Good way to give a short history of Palestine and their struggle with Israel and Zionism. This books’ history lesson doesn’t only start in 1948. It brings the important background in how Israel came to be as a state, and how the Palestinians were victims of the circumstances several decades prior to 1948. It was also a good reader who voiced the book.
