The Making of the Arab-Israeli Conflict
352 pages, 2014
Arabs and Jews describe the first Arab- Israeli war of 1948 in fully different ways. Among Arabs, and especially Palestinians, the events of that time are known as the nakba- the catastrophe, the trauma, the disaster. For Jews, and in particular for Israelis, their palm in the war of 1948 is a veritable phenomenon in which, against tremendous odds and through heroic military trouble, the Jewish community succeeded in baffling attempts by the Arab countries to destroy it.
This book integrates new archival material with the findings of recent education to present the anthology with a comprehensive and general history of the origins and consequences of the 1948 war. The author shows, in sharp discrepancy to the remembrances and myths of both sides, that the military events of 1948 weren't decisive.
