The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine Pappe, Ilan Publisher:  Oneworld Year Published:  2007   Pages:  313pp   Price:  £15.99   Resource Type:  Book Israel historian Ilan Pappe recounts the "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians from Israel during the war of 1948. Abstract:  Ilan Pappe, who has written a number of influential books on the Middle East, holds the Chair in History at the University of Exeter. In The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine he offers archival evidence to demonstrate that a major factor of Israel's founding ideology, from the very beginning, has been the forcible removal of the indigenous population. The book is divided into twelve chapters with titles including "The Drive for an Exclusive Jewish State," "Occupation and its Ugly Faces" and "The Phony War and the Real War over Palestine." Pappe argues that, though the modern "communication-driven world" does not allow for large-scale crimes against humanity to be concealed, the crime committed by Israel in 1948 - the dispossession of the Palestinians -- has been denied and almost completely erased from the global public memory. He gives a detailed description of events in Palestine from 1948 onwards, stressing that the main goal of the Zionist movement was ethnic cleansing, a fact which has been "thoroughly denied", and that Palestinian suffering has been totally ignored ever since 1948. The book contains a chronology of key dates, some illustrations and a number of maps and tables to support its argument.
