It synthesizes historical evidence to examine Zionism’s ideological drive for an exclusively Jewish state, the role of partition and international decisions, and the step-by-step development of a cleansing method. The book is presented as a scholarly, evidence-based account aimed at ending both the Palestinian Nakbah and the Israeli “War of Independence” narratives.","P􀀇ISE FOR THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINE‘Ilan Pappe is Israel’s bravest, most principled, most incisive historian ’ãJohn Pilger  \n‘Ilan Pappe has wri)en an extraordinary book of profound relevance to the past, present, and future of Israel/Palestine relations ’ãRichard Falk, Professor of International Law and Practise, Princeton University‘If there is to be real peace in Palestine/Israel, the moral vigour and intellectual clarity of 􀀊e Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine will have been a major contributor to  \nit ’  \nãAhdaf Soueif, author of 􀀊eMap of Love‘􀀊is is an extraordinary book – a dazzling feat of scholarly synthesis and Biblical moral clarity and humaneness ’ã Walid Khalidi, Former Senior Research Fellow, Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Harvard University‘Fresh insights into a world historic tragedy, related by a historian of genius ’ã George Galloway MP  \n‘Groundbreaking research into a well-kept Israeli secret.
