By Newest Catalog Items

UC Berkeley lecture by the Israeli historian, held on October 19, 2023
Ilan Pappe begins with declaring that to understand the situation today we need an accurate definition of Zionism since it was the leading ideology of the settler colonial movement that took over Palestine.

By Newest Catalog Items

UC Berkeley lecture by the Israeli historian, held on October 19, 2023
Ilan Pappe is one of Israel’s New Historians. Since the release of classified British and Israeli government documents in the early 1980s, they have offered a critical view of Israel’s creation in 1948, and the corresponding flight and expulsion of 700,000 Palestinians in the same year. Pappe has written that the expulsions were not decided on an ad hoc basis, as other historians have argued, but were done in accordance with Plan Dalet, drawn up in 1947 by Israel’s future leaders. In a 2004 interview, Pappe said “The aim has always been, and it still remains, to have as much of Palestine as possible with as few Palestinians in [ . . . ]
