Product Description
In this controversial new book, a prominent Israeli historian at Haifa University revisits the formative period of the State of Israel. Decisively debunking the myth that the Palestinian population left of their own accord during the War of Independence, he offers archival evidence to demonstrate that a central plank in Israel's founding ideology was the forcible removal of the indigenous population. This book is a passionate plea to acknowledge the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 as the root cause of the ongoing Palestine-Israel conflict.

 Zionist ethnic cleansing creates "racially pure" Israel July 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Ilan Pappe used Israeli records and interviews with victims of Zionist ethnic cleansing to document how terror, murder, and rape were used by Jews, in Palesting, from the end of World War II through 1949 to expell Palestinians from Palestine and create a larger and larger Isreal. The book is a good corrective, for the mis-representations of the event sequences and non-reporting of events, by US print and electronic press coompanies, of what happened.
Outstanding! So well-doucumented that the facts speak for themself July 16, 2008

This book is a must read for those who seek to understand the current situtation between the modern state of Israel and the Palestian people in light of objective historical facts.
Drawing on public doucments of the State of Israel and the diaries, memoirs and published works of Israeli leaders such as David Ben-Gurion and Menachim Begin, and other crediable and throughly documented sources, Israeli historian Ilan Pappe makes a powerful case that the State of Israel's treatment of the Palestinian civilian population in 1948 was a carefully planned and systematically executed deliberate act of ethnic cleansing.
Courage to tell the Truth May 31, 2008
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
Ilan Pappe is one of the few Israelis to have the courage to look at Israel's original sin, and he has paid for that courage. This book details the planning and execution of the theft of the Palestinians' land by the Zionists. Well written and documented, by an author who can hardly be called "anti-semitic".
 Stop the hate May 22, 2008
14 out of 27 found this review helpful
It is laughable to read such a good book, and then come here and see how the ignorance fills the review-o-sphere with the diatribe. Israel is committing the same atrocities against the Palestinians as the Germans committed against them. The only difference is that they have a powerful lobby and sympathy of the United States. If it wasn't for the U.S. Israel would have been wiped out already, begging for scraps of another land. This isn't the bible, the land is not the divine right of Jews in Israel, and they should stop being so hypocritical. I am not an anti-Semite, as my mother is Jewish and my sister-in-law is an Israeli born Jew, and they both agree that the modern day Zionist movement is the antithesis of real Jewry. This is a 5 star book, but I chose to list it as 1 star, so people can read the truth on these reviews.
Good if out of toilet Paper May 19, 2008
4 out of 37 found this review helpful
This book and many others like it can be classified as hate fiction. It is not based on historical accuracy or merit any real consideration as an academic source. The book is trash. It is a book of hatred and lies.
Buying this book is contributing to more hatred and violence. I am not pro-Israel but find this book insulting. I had hoped to learn something but realize it is only a propaganda too for Islamic extremist.
