Få internationella tvister är lika uppmärksammade som Israel-Palestina-konflikten. Ändå kan den vara svår att förstå, både för dem som studerat den utförligt och för dem som nöjt sig med att ta del av bevakningen i media.
Vad handlar konflikten egentligen om? Hur uppstod den? Hur kan den lösas? Det är frågor som den israeliske historikern Ilan Pappe grubblat över i flera decennier. I Kort historik över Israel-Palestina-konflikten försöker han, utan att förenkla mer än nödvändigt, formulera sina svar.
Boken är emellertid inte bara en saklig historisk översikt av en djupgående och långvarig internationell konflikt. Den är också en flammande appell för upprättandet av en demokratisk stat, för alla dem som idag bebor det historiska området Palestina, som den på sikt enda möjliga lösningen.
OM ILAN PAPPEIlan Pappe är född i Haifa i Israel. Han var soldat i den israeliska armén under oktoberkriget. Han har varit verksam som historiker i närmare 50 år vid universitet i Israel och Storbritannien. Han har skrivit ett tiotal böcker om Mellanöstern med särskilt fokus på Israel och Palestina.
ILAN PAPPE OM BOKEN
Vi måste tala om Israel och Palestina på ett nytt sätt. Det är meningslöst att tala om fred som om båda sidor har lika stor del av skulden när processen vi faktiskt talar om är avkolonisering. Det historiska Palestina har utsatts för bosättarkolonialism under mer än hundra år och har fått betala ett högt pris.
Avkolonisering är ett ord som är nära förbundet med ett par andra uttryck som undviks i den allmänna politiska debatten i väst när det gäller Israel och Palestina, nämligen befrielse och försoning.
Jag påstår inte att jag har svaren på hur vi upp- når dessa ädla mål. Den palestinska befrielserörelsen måste avgöra hur en lösning kan genomföras i praktiken, en lösning som innebär rättvisa för alla som lever i det historiska Palestina i dag, inklusive israeliska judar.

Renowned Israeli historian, Ilan Pappe's groundbreaking work on the formation of the State of Israel.'Along with the late Edward Said, Ilan Pappe is the most eloquent writer of Palestinian history.' NEW STATESMANBetween 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. Indispensable for anyone interested in the current crisis in the Middle East.***'Ilan Pappe is Israel's bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.' JOHN PILGER'Pappe has opened up an important new line of inquiry into the vast and fateful subject of the Palestinian refugees. His book is rewarding in other ways. It has at times an elegiac, even sentimental, character, recalling the lost, obliterated life of the Palestinian Arabs and imagining or regretting what Pappe believes could have been a better land of Palestine.' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT'A major intervention in an argument that will, and must, continue. There's no hope of lasting Middle East peace while the ghosts of 1948 still walk.' INDEPENDENT

Trots att konflikten mellan palestinier och judar om landet Palestina/Israel har pågått i mer än 70 år tyder ingenting på att den skulle vara på väg att få sin lösning.
Ett viktigt skäl till att konflikten kan fortgå är att vår bild av den bygger på en rad seglivade myter. I Tio myter om Israel ställer Ilan Pappe tio av de mest centrala myterna mot vad den historiska forskningen faktiskt säger.
Tio myter om Israel enligt Ilan Pappe:
1. Palestina var ett land utan folk
2. Judarna var ett folk utan land
3. Sionism är judendom
4. Sionism är inte kolonialism
5. Palestinierna lämnade sitt land frivilligt 1948
6. Sexdagarskriget påtvingades Israel
7. Israel är en demokrati
8. Osloavtalet var en verklig fredsprocess
9. Gazakriget var ett krig i självförsvar
10. Tvåstatslösningen är enda lösningen
Ilan Pappe, född i Haifa 1954, är professor i historia och föreståndare för European Centre for Palestine Studies vid University of Exeter, England. Han har tidigare varit verksam vid Hebrew University i Jerusalem, University of Oxford och Haifa University. Ilan Pappe har skrivit en rad böcker om Israel och Palestina, bl.a. följande:
The Rise and Fall of A Palestinian Dynasty: The Husaynis 17001948 (2017),
The Biggest Prison on Earth: A History of the Israeli Occupation of Palestine (2015),
Israel and South Africa: The Many Faces of Apartheid (2015),
The Making of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 19471951 (2015),
The Idea of Israel (2014).
"Ilan Pappe är en av de mest profilerade israeliska dissidenterna i exil. Han är också en av de få israeliska betraktarna av konflikten som skriver om den palestinska sidan med genuin kunskap och empati." Avi Shlaim, israelisk historiker vid university of Oxford, i Guardian
"Den sionistiska framställningen av hur det omtvistade landet en gång blev staten Israel baseras på en samling myter som på ett raffinerat sätt ifrågasätter palestiniernas moraliska rätt till området. Gängse medier och politiska eliter i Väst accepterar ofta dessa myter som odisputabla sanningar och som ett berättigande av israeliska handlingar. Den tysta acceptansen av dessa myter kan ofta förklara västmakternas ovilja att ingripa med kraft i en konflikt som har pågått ända sedan den israeliska statens tillkomst. Den här boken utmanar dessa myter som vanligen framstår som odiskutabla sanningar i den offentliga debatten. Det rör sig, enligt min uppfattning, om förvrängningar och lögner som kan och måste tillbakavisas genom ett noggrant studium av de historiska vittnesbörden. Bokens tema är att ställa populära föreställningar och historiska realiteter mot varandra. I varje kapitel kommer svagheterna i gängse uppfattningar att avslöjas, när dessa kontrasteras mot historieforskningens nuvarande ståndpunkt." Ilan Pappe

Israel can’t go on like this. 7 October and Israel’s subsequent invasion of Gaza laid bare the cracks in its foundations. It was unveiled as a country unable to protect its citizens, divided between messianic theocrats and selective liberals, resented by its neighbours and losing the support of Jews worldwide. While its leaders justify bombing campaigns exceeding the worst atrocities of World War 2 and a spiralling humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, Israel is becoming a pariah state. Its worst enemy is not Hamas, but itself.Ilan Pappe paves a path out of the Jewish state, rooted in restorative justice and decolonisation, including the return of refugees, the end of illegal settlements, and building bridges with the Arab world. The future can be one of reconciliation, not endless war.

Tracing 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, Ilan Pappe's widely acclaimed A History of Modern Palestine provides a balanced and forthright overview of Palestine's complex history. Placing at its centre the voices of the men, women, children, peasants, workers, town-dwellers, Jews and Arabs of Palestine, who lived through these times, this tells a story of co-existence and co-operation, as well as oppression, occupation, and exile, exposing patterns of continuity as well as points of fracture. Now in an updated third edition, Pappe draws links between contemporary events, from war in Lebanon, violence in the Gaza Strip and the Arab Spring, with the long history of Palestine, taking into account the success of Israel without neglecting the on-going catastrophe suffered by Palestinians, leaving hope for a better future for all who live in, or were expelled, from Palestine.

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 WorldsThe 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.

A vivid and incisive analysis of the complex relationship between Israel and its Palestinian citizens written by an acclaimed Israeli historian For decades, 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. In this book, historian Ilan Pappé examines how Israeli Palestinians have fared under Jewish rule and what their lives tell us about both Israel’s attitude toward minorities and Palestinians’ attitudes toward the Jewish state. Drawing upon significant archival and interview material, Pappé analyzes the Israeli state’s policy toward its Palestinian citizens, finding discrimination in matters of housing, education, and civil rights. Rigorously researched yet highly readable, The Forgotten Palestinians brings a new and much-needed perspective to the Israel-Palestine debate.

In an analysis of Britain's policy towards Palestine in the post-mandatory era, the author examines the circumstances which led to the formulation of Britain's policy - the partition of mandatory Palestine between Israel and Jordan - and the stages of its implementation. The major theme that emerges is that Britain's Middle East policy was a function of two main features: Britain's close alliance with Transjordan, and its pragmatic adaptability to developments in the area. Based on primary sources made available only recently in British, Israeli and American archives, the book offers new insights into a policy which was to have far-reaching effects.

Ilan Pappe has long been a controversial figure in Israel, here; he gives a full account of his break with mainstream Israeli scholarship and its consequences. Growing up in a conventional Israeli community and influenced by the utopian visions of Theodor Herzl, Pappe was barely aware of the Nakba in his high school years. This intellectual biography traces his journey of discovery, from the whispers of Palestinian classmates, to his realisation that the 'enemy's' narrative of 1948 was correct, and his vow to protect the memory of the Nakba. For the first time he gives the details of the formidable opposition he faced in Israel, including death threats fed by the media, denunciations by the Knesset and calls for him to be sacked from his post at Haifa university.This revealing work, written with dignity and humour, highlights Israel's difficulty in facing up to its past and forging a peaceful, inclusive future in Palestine.

This seminal text by renowned Israeli historian, Ilan Pappe, discusses one of the most significant periods in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Based on archival material, it presents the reader with a comprehensive and general history of the origins and consequences of the 1948 war. While among Arabs, and especially Palestinians, the events of that year are known as the nakba - the catastrophe, the trauma, the disaster - for Jews, and in particular for Israelis, their victory in the war of 1948 is a veritable miracle. For them, against tremendous odds and through heroic military effort, the Jewish community succeeded in thwarting attempts by the Arab states to destroy it. Pappe shows here that in sharp contrast to the recollections and myths of both sides, the military events of 1948 were not decisive. The victory of the Zionist organization and the fate of the Palestinians was determined by politicians on both sides - in the discussions and decisions of the United Nations in 1947-8 and in the Arab League - long before a shot had been fired. He argues that Israel's failure to take advantage of the genuine opportunity for peace with the Arabs at the UN-sponsored Lausanne Conference in 1949 resulted in the prolonged and tragic conflict between Israel and the Arab states still very much alive today. Complete with a new foreword by the author, the book remains the authority on the subject for a new generation of readers.

In 1896, a Jewish state was a pipe dream. Today the overwhelming majority of Jews identify as Zionists. How did this happen?Ilan Pappe unveils how over a century of aggressive lobbying changed the map of the Middle East. Pro-Israel lobbies convinced British and American policymakers to condone Israel’s flagrant breaches of international law, grant Israel unprecedented military aid and deny Palestinians rights. Anyone who questioned unconditional support for Israel, even in the mildest terms, became the target of relentless smear campaigns. Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic shows us how an unassailable consensus was built – and how it might be dismantled.

The Husayni family of Jerusalem dominated Palestinian history for 250 years, from the Ottoman times through to the end of the British Mandate. At the height of the family's political influence, positions in Jerusalem could only be obtained through its power base.In this compelling political biography, Ilan Pappe traces the rise of the Husaynis from a provincial Ottoman elite clan into the leadership of the Palestinian national movement in the twentieth century. In telling their story, Pappe highlights the continuous urban history of Jerusalem and Palestine. Shedding new light on crucial events such as the invasion of Palestine by Napoleon, the decline of the Ottoman Empire, World War I and the advent of Zionism, this remarkable account provides an unforgettable picture of the Palestinian tragedy in its entirety.

Israel is not the only ‘new’ state around, but it is one of the few states whose legitimacy is still questioned, and its future affects the future of the Middle East as a whole and probably the stability of the international system. The reasons for this unique reality lie in its past and the particular historical circumstances of its birth.This book seeks to update analysis of the political history, contemporary politics, economics and foreign policy of this unique state. The first part of the book provides a general history of Israel since its inception until 2000. This general history evolves around the political development of the state, beginning with its origins in the early Zionist history (1882–1948) and ending with the turn of the century. The second part focuses on three contemporary aspects of present-day Israel: its political economy, its culture and its international relations. An epilogue describes Israel’s complex international image today and its impact on the state and its future.Providing a solid infrastructure from which readers can form their own opinions, this book offers a fresh perspective on developments both on the ground and in recent scholarship, and is essential reading for students, journalists and policy makers with an interest in Middle Eastern History, Jewish Studies and Israel Studies.

The goal of this book is to treat Palestine not as a state but as a country which in 1948 was divided to Israel, The West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. Palestinians live in all these areas and are also dwellers or refugee camps and exilic communities around the world. In our eyes they and the country as a whole are part of the history of Palestine and therefore are all included here. It is a book that regards Palestine in the period from 1800 until today as a geographical term which is still valid and relevant. Therefore, it covers different geo-political units and states that were established over the year in the country of Palestine: the late Ottoman provinces, the British Mandate, the State Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. Half of Palestine population live in exile – in refugee camp and diasporic communities. They also have a place of honor in this book. As the story of Zionism and Israel is intertwined with that of the Palestinians, several Zionist/Israeli persons, places and events are also included in this book.Historical Dictionary of Palestine, Second Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 800 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country’s politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Palestine.
