Summary

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.

It does provide a useful and fascinating insight from a post modern, anti colonial, anti Zionist perspective.

The historical involvement and motivations of the British establishment in encouraging the Zionist movement was very interesting.

Zero acknowledgement or mention of Iran's involvement in the conflict.

Now, where to find something more balanced...?

I learnt so much listening to this book. Cannot believe how cruel humans can be towards each other and how everything leading up to the current events in Palestine (the final stages of ethnic cleansing) has been played like moves on a Chess board from over 100 years ago - all calculated by those in power (namely Britain who are one of the most seasoned Colonial powers that ultimately allowed this to happen and managed to walk away) so the Palestinians never stood a chance.
For now, read this, pressure your MPs and stand up for what is right. so sad.

Provides a clear overview of the key historical landmarks in the history of Zionism, and places it in the context of European colonialism.
