About this listen

An indispensable guide to understanding the Israel-Palestine conflict, and how we might yet still find a way out of it.

"Ilan Pappe is the most original, radical and hard-hitting of Israel's 'new historians.'" -Avi Shlaim, author of Three Worlds

The devastation of 7 October 2023 and the horrors that followed astounded the world. But the Israel-Palestine conflict didn't start on 7 October. It didn't start in 1967 either, when Israel occupied the West Bank, or in 1948 when the state of Israel was declared. It started in 1882, when the first Zionist settlers arrived in what was then Ottoman Palestine. Ilan Pappe untangles the history of two peoples, now sharing one land. Going back to the founding fathers of Zionism, Pappe expertly takes us through the twists and turns of international policy towards Israel-Palestine, Palestinian resistance to occupation, and the changes taking place in Israel itself.

So obvious how Zionism is a cancer. Let’s hope we see a free Palestine in this lifetime.

The truth is so clear

An as current piece as possible. This is the perfect starting point for anyone beginning their education on Palestine and Israel. A must read for this year. Pappe is a long respected historian and voice on the topic and has a catalogue of further titles.
