Imperial Israel and the Palestinians - The Politics of Expansion (Paperback)

This is a history of Israel's expansionist policies, documenting Israel's policy of expelling Palestinians either by war or peaceful means. It demonstrates that the imperialist tendencies in Israel run the political gamut from Left to Right and are not limited to extremists alone. Masalha argues that the heart of the conflict between Zionist immigrants/settlers and the native Palestinians has always been about land, territory, demography and water. He documents how Israeli policy has made it a priority to expel the Palestinians, either by war or peaceful measures. But these imperialist tendencies are not restricted to extremist zealots. The author uncovers the expansionist policies found in Labour Zionism and Kookist ideology. Chapters cover the whole land of Israel movement, Zionist revisionism, parties and movements of the far Right and the evolution of Israeli Jewish public attitudes since 1967.
