Ten Myths About Israel Reviews

Ilan Pappe is Israel's bravest, most principled, most incisive historian. -- John Pilger
One of the most prominent Israeli political dissidents living in exile . He is also one of the few Israeli students of the conflict who write about the Palestinian side with real knowledge and empathy. -- Avi Shlaim * Guardian *
Along with Edward Said, Ilan Pappe is the most eloquent writer of Palestinian history. * New Statesman *
Ten Myths About Israel is a useful primer for people just becoming familiar with the Palestinian liberation struggle - but it is far more than that. It is also a valuable tool for veteran organizers seeking to explain cogently and simply how Israel's foundational myths and ongoing propaganda perpetuate the oppression of the Palestinian people. -- Rod Such * Electronic Intifada *
This book is an absolute must for an interested public, the political and the media class to understand what Israel is all about. * American Herald Tribune *
