Israeli history textbooks in the past contained many biases,
distortions, and omissions concerning the depiction of Arabs and
the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Today these
misrepresentations are gradually being corrected. This study
encourages the depiction of a balanced portrait in all
textbooks.
By reviewing curricula and textbooks used in the Israeli
educational system since the establishment of Israel, the author
assesses the impact of Zionist historiography and the Zeitgeist on
the portrayal of Arabs in textbooks. The study unravels the biases,
distortions, omissions, and stereotypes through the analysis of
several major historical events such as the 1948 war, the refugee
question, the 1967 war, and the peace process.
