Ten Myths about Israel by Ilan Pappé
dark
informative
sad
medium-paced
4.0
a short but dense book about the myths surrounding the creation of israel, the current situation of israel in the middle east, and the future of the region. The book has 10 chapters, each debunking a myth surrounding israel (how the palestinians aren't the native of the land, how zionism = judaism, how israel is the only democracy in the middle east, and the myths surrounding the oslo accords...)
this book is destined for the west and espeically for people who still believe that the "conflict" between palestine and israel is a complex matter that should resolved with a two state nation.
knowing that ilan pappé is born in haifa to two immigrant jews and a graduate from the hebrew university of jerusalem, and still wrote a book condemning israel of the displacement of palestinians during the event of the nakba, is quite fascinating.
