    The Nakba and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine

    “The legal recognition of the 1948 Nakbah as an act of ethnic cleansing would pave the way for some form of restitutive justice.”

    To commemorate Nakba Day, we present an excerpt from Ilan Pappe’s book Ten Myths About Israel. Published on the fiftieth anniversary of the Occupation, the radical Israeli historian examines the most contested ideas concerning the origins and identity of the contemporary state of Israel, including the myth that the Palestinians voluntarily left their homeland in 1948.

    Jerusalem and Trump

    Last week, on Thursday 7 December 2017, Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, pledging the relocation of the US embassy to the city. Defying UN resolutions emphasizing the international status of Jerusalem, Trump’s move reverses years of American policy on the matter and has been met with widespread condemnation, sparking protests in the region. We asked Israeli historian and author, Ilan Pappe, for his views on the unfolding situation.
