(P/B) TEN MYTHS ABOUT ISRAEL
In this groundbreaking book, published on the fiftieth anniversary of the Occupation, the outspoken and radical Israeli historian Ilan Pappe examines the most contested ideas concerning the origins and identity of the contemporary state of Israel. The "ten myths" that Pappe explores - repeated endlessly in the media, enforced by the military, accepted without question by the world's governments - reinforce the regional status quo. He explores the claim that Palestine was an empty land at the time of the Balfour Declaration, as well as the ...

(P/B) GAZA IN CRISIS
From the targeting of schools and hospitals, to the indiscriminate use of white phosphorus, Israel's conduct in "Operation Cast Lead" has rattled even some of its most strident supporters.

(P/B) ON PALESTINE
On Palestine is Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappe's indispensable update on a suffering region.

(P/B) THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINE
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 impr...

(P/B) THE MODERN MIDDLE EAST
This hugely successful, ground-breaking book is the first introductory textbook on the Modern Middle East to foreground the urban, rural, cultural and gender histories of the region over its political and economic history. Distancing himself from more traditional modernising approaches, Ilan Pappι is concerned with the ideological question of whom we investigate in the past rather than how we investigate the past. Pappι begins his narrative at the end of the First World War with the Ottoman heritage, and concludes at the present day with t...

Η ΙΣΤΟΡΙΑ ΤΗΣ ΣΥΓΧΡΟΝΗΣ ΠΑΛΑΙΣΤΙΝΗΣ
Ο Ισραηλινός ιστορικός Ilan Pappe αποφάσισε να γράψει την "Ιστορία της σύγχρονης Παλαιστίνης" για τις ανάγκες του μαθήματος "Η ιστορία της σύγκρουσης στην Παλαιστίνη" στο Πανεπιστήμιο της Χάιφας. Οι φοιτητές του ζητούσαν επίμονα μια διαφορετική προσέγγιση της ιστορίας της χώρας τους που να μην επαναλαμβάνει τις γνωστές εκδοχές των δύο συγκρουόμενων πλευρών. Ο Ilan Pappe επιχειρεί μια ιστορική αφήγηση διατυπωμένη από την οπτική γωνία του ανθρωπισμού και όχι του εθνικισμού, του εθνοτισμού ή της θρησκείας. Θεωρεί ότι η ιστορία της σύγχρονης Π...

(H/B) THE IDEA OF ISRAEL
Since its foundation in 1948, Israel has drawn on Zionism, the movement behind its creation, to provide a sense of self and political direction.

In particular, Pappe examines the way successive ge...

(H/B) THE FORGOTTEN PALESTINIANS
For more than 60 years, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have lived as Israeli citizens within the borders of the nation formed at the end of the 1948 conflict. Occupying a precarious middle ground between the Jewish citizens of Israel and the dispossessed Palestinians of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, the Israeli Palestinians have developed an exceedingly complex relationship with the land they call home; however, in the innumerable discussions of the Israel-Palestine problem, their experiences are often overlooked and forgotten. ...

(H/B) THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINE
Since the Holocaust, it has been almost impossible to hide large-scale crimes against humanity. In our communicative world, few modern catastrophes are concealed from the public eye. And yet, Ilan Pappe unveils, one such crime has been erased from the global public memory: the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians in 1948. The pervasive denial of the Nakbah, as Palestinians call the catastrophe that befell them, is still a mystery today. But why is it denied, and by whom? "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" offers an investigation of this m...

(P/B) A HISTORY OF MODERN PALESTINE
Ilan Pappe's book traces the history of Palestine from the Ottomans in the nineteenth century, through the British Mandate, the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, and the subsequent wars and conflicts which have dominated this troubled region. The second edition of Pappe's book has been updated to include the dramatic events of the 1990s and the early twenty-first century. These years, which began with a sense of optimism, as the Oslo peace accord was being negotiated, culminated in the second intifada and the increase of milita...
