Summary

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. This is an indispensable book for anyone interested in the current crisis in the Middle East.

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine

Bravo to Pappé, who has had the decency and courage to tell the world about the plight and massacre of the besieged and innocent Palestinians. He has done his research and details the evidence to support what he asserts. . Although it has been difficult to endure hearing about the absolute savagery meted out to the Palestinians, I am glad that I now know. Pappé is clear, that this is not about religion, but the destruction and eradication of the Palestinians.

Great book by Ilan Pappe Essential reading for understanding the current situation.

I had my head in my hands listening to this. The cruelty and systematic nature of the cleansing during the Naqba and afterwards by the Israeli state is truly upsetting.

I wonder why Audible is removing this......

Detailed account by an Iraeli man centred around what happened in 1948. Audible should not be removing books like this

Learnt a lot of factual historical references

This book is great for anyone who wants to learn about the history & genocide that has taken place in Palestine by the hands of the Apartheid state. Also highlights the other government who are complicit in the ongoing ethnical cleansing of the indigenous Palestinians..

Israel is not a democracy but ‘the only Apartheid state in the Middle East’
