The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine

By: Ilan Pappe

Narrated by: Paul Boehmer

Renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappe's groundbreaking book revisits the formation of the State of Israel. Between 1947 and 1949, over 400 Palestinian villages were deliberately destroyed, civilians were massacred, and around a million men, women, and children were expelled from their homes at gunpoint.

Denied for almost six decades, had it happened today it could only have been called "ethnic cleansing." Decisively debunking the myth that the Palestinian population left of their own accord in the course of this war, Ilan Pappe offers impressive archival evidence to demonstrate that, from its very inception, a central plank in Israel's founding ideology was the forcible removal of the indigenous population. This is an indispensable book for anyone interested in the current crisis in the Middle East.

Very pertinent history

Ilan pappe is a great historian and writer. He gives a lot of information that others have not written about in full.

One of the Best Books on Israel/Palestine

This book is full of historical facts — all backed up with footnotes and sited resources. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to know the truth.

The world governments turn a blind eye…

I liked the historical review of documented facts and timelines regarding the mistreatment, displacement, and murder of the Palestinian people. Much of it directly from the diary of David Ben-Gurion. I’m disturbed that world governments have been so silent.

The unapologetic truth

It’s was really difficult to listen to this book emotionally. But it’s based on documents from Israeli’s archives.
