In light of the barbaric Zionist aggression against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip — genocide and ethnic cleansing — there is an urgent need to counter the Zionist propaganda that is “repeated endlessly in the media, enforced by the military, accepted without question by the world’s governments.” Israeli historian Professor Ilan Pappe’s 2017 book Ten Myths About Israel (Verso) does the job admirably. The late John Pilger described Pappe as “Israel’s bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.” How right he was.
Most of the world’s understanding of Palestine’s history is distorted, largely because of the Israeli narrative.
