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 formation of Zionism and its role in
the early decades of nation building. He asks whether the
Palestinians voluntarily left their homeland in 1948, and whether
June 1967 was a war of "no choice." Turning to the myths
surrounding the failures of the Camp David Accords and the official
reasons for the attacks on Gaza, Pappe explains why the two-state
solution is no longer viable.
