False Inheritance is a timely and penetrating review of the
Arab-Israeli conflict over Palestine by a writer with a special and
long-established relationship with the Arab States, particularly
the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf. Against the background of the
latest developments in the confrontation between the Palestinians
and Israel, but taking into account the viewpoint of the
non-Palestinian Arabs, it considers why the presence of the Zionist
State in the Middle East is so profound an affront to the Arabs'
sense of history and continuity and why its continued existence as
an exclusivist Jewish State is a perpetual threat to the stability
and peace of the region. Beginning with the antecedents of the
present situation, the work analyses the uses to which archaeology
has been put to provide a justification for the Israeli occupation
of Palestinian lands. In line with developments in contemporary
scholarship, it approaches the 'historical' chapters of the Old
Testament, on which much of the original Zionist claim to Palestine
was based, as essentially mythological and devoid of historical or
archaeological substance. Moving on to examine the origins of
Zionism in Western Europe and its appeal to Eastern European Jews,
it demonstrates that the Jews of Europe had no historic connection
with the Middle East and that, in consequence, the Zionists' claim
to Palestine is entirely spurious, legally, morally and factually,
and also that the United Nations Partition Plan of 1947 was simply
a recommendation and did not have the force of law claimed for it.
Looking to the future, False Inheritance suggests that, whatever
the immediate outcome of the mutual recognition by Israel and the
PLO, thesolution to the matter of Palestine may lie in the changing
demographic structure of Israel, a consequence of the emergence of
the Oriental Jews to a preponderant position in society in Israel.
As 'Arab Jews', whose culture and history are wholly different from
that of the Ashkenazi migrants, it is possible that they may be
more able to come to a permanent settlement with the Muslim and
Christian inhabitants of Palestine, once the essential condition of
any such agreement as argued by False Inheritance - the
de-Zionisation of Israel - has been achieved.
