Since the Holocaust, it has been almost impossible to hide large-scale crimes against humanity. In our communicative world, few modern catastrophes are concealed from the public eye. And yet, Ilan Pappe unveils, one such crime has been erased from the global public memory: the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians in 1948. But why is it denied, and by whom? The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine offers an investigation of this mystery.
This book does an excellent job of showing that 1948 and everything since then has amounted to ethnic cleansing by any definition of the term. That said, my copy has a lot of typos and the author seems to have a great love of using scare quotes which I did not find even remotely helpful.
