Ten Myths About Israel | 2017 | Pappe, Ilan | 978-1786630193 | GoodReads Amazon |
Pappe did not discuss how Zionism depicts and is keen to sell itself as a ‘modernist’ and ‘emancipist
Jewish’ movement, which is a widespread myth about Zionism in the West and America. Likewise, even though the author elaborates why the two-states solution is an Israeli myth, he does not propose any well-defined alternative for it. To summarize, despite some of the aforementioned shortcomings, Pappe’s book is very informative and well-argued in addressing the question of how Israel has constructed a fallacious narrative in representing itself as well as its depiction of the Palestinians. Ten myths about Israel offers an impartial perspective and does justice even from the standpoint of the victims of the Israeli apartheid system. This book is thus highly recommended, for both experts in the field as well as for beginners and functions as an exceedingly effective historical introduction for anyone who wishes to be involved in insightful discussions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.[1] |
