The Ìten mythsÌ that Pappe exploresÌrepeated endlessly in the media, enforced by the military, accepted without question by the worldÌs governmentsÌreinforce 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 Ìno choice.Ì 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."--Publisher's description. 651 0 $a Palestine $x History. 650 0 $a Palestinian Arabs $z Israel $x History. 650 0 $a Arab-Israeli conflict. 651 0 $a Israel $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Arab-Israeli conflict. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00812220 650 7 $a Palestinian Arabs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051590 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Israel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204236 651 7 $a Middle East $z Palestine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207534 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717022402.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3EE245D8475911E7B35354A3DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
