Bücher von Ilan Pappé

The book that is providing a storm of controversy, from ';Israel's bravest historian' (John Pilger)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 "e;ethnic cleansing"e;. 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. Indispensable for anyone interested in the current crisis in the Middle East.

Jeder Versuch zur Lösung eines Konflikts muss sich zu allererst mit dessen Kern auseinandersetzen und dieser Kern findet sich meistens in seiner Geschichte. Eine verfälschte oder manipulierte Geschichte erklärt oft gut, warum ein Konflikt nicht beendet wurde, während eine wahrhaftige, umfassende Betrachtung der Vergangenheit zu einem dauerhaften Frieden und einer bleibenden Lösung beitragen kann. Wie die Untersuchung des Falls Israel/Palästina zeigt, kann eine falsch verstandene Geschichte der jüngeren oder ferneren Vergangenheit sogar noch direkteren Schaden anrichten: Sie kann die Unterdrückung, Kolonisierung und Besatzung von heute rechtfertigen. Es überrascht nicht, dass in solchen Fällen auch die Gegenwart verfälscht wird, ist sie doch Teil der Geschichte, deren Vergangenheit bereits entstellt wurde. Diese Täuschungen über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart verhindern das Verständnis des fraglichen Konfliktes, erlauben eine Manipulation der Fakten und richten sich gegen die Interessen all jener, die Opfer des Konfliktes sind.Weitere Informationen: https://nahost-bücher.deDie Tatsache, dass die israelische und zionistische Version der Geschichte des umstrittenen Landes in Deutschland weitgehend akzeptiert wird, basiert auf einer ganzen Ansammlung von Mythen, die alle darin münden, das moralische Recht und das ethische Verhalten der Palästinenser ins Zwielicht zu rücken, was allerdings jede Chance auf einen zukünftigen gerechten Frie-den enorm verringert.

Ilan Pappe has long been a controversial figure in Israel, here; he gives a full account of his break with mainstream Israeli scholarship and its consequences. *BR**BR*Growing up in a conventional Israeli community and influenced by the utopian visions of Theodor Herzl, Pappe was barely aware of the Nakba in his high school years. This intellectual biography traces his journey of discovery, from the whispers of Palestinian classmates, to his realisation that the 'enemy's' narrative of 1948 was correct, and his vow to protect the memory of the Nakba. For the first time he gives the details of the formidable opposition he faced in Israel, including death threats fed by the media, denunciations by the Knesset and calls for him to be sacked from his post at Haifa university.*BR**BR*This revealing work, written with dignity and humour, highlights Israel's difficulty in facing up to its past and forging a peaceful, inclusive future in Palestine.
