About the book
Ilan Pappé's 2006 book examines the expulsion and flight of Palestinians during the 1948 war and characterizes it as ethnic cleansing. Pappé, a New Historian, contends that removing the Palestinian population was a goal of the Zionist movement and a precondition for founding Israel as a Jewish state. He describes a premeditated operation directed by David Ben-Gurion together with a circle of advisors he calls "the Consultancy." According to the book, it was carried out through the systematic emptying of roughly 500 Arab villages and through attacks on civilians by Irgun and Haganah forces. Pappé cites Plan Dalet and the village files as evidence.
