As if Benny Morris is objective, with a wink maybe.

Koran: [17:104] And we said to the Children of Israel afterwards, " scatter and live all over the world…and when the end of the world is near we will gather you again into the Promised Land". Arabs stole that land by way of arms and in violation of that Sura. Just check the source.

Morris was a post-zionist, but now he's a zionist. So, presumably, he's now a post-zionist zionist, or maybe even a post-zionist post-zionist. I read Righteous Victims not long ago, and thought it was pretty good - mostly the early parts - until he got to the intifadas and seemed to be writing from a different planet, let alone a different view. Apparently, the IDF showed great restraint and rarely used live ammuniton. Or when they did, someone was firing at them in amongst the rock chuckers.

@bths87 There many lies in Papes writings

for example Pape says that 1/3 of casualties in intifada were women

that absolutely not true according to official stastics Pappe not historian He is politican using his history backround

@bths87 I agree that the example adduced is a pretty flimsy justification for dismissing Pappe. But your other comment isn't accurate and shows a serious lack of familiarity with scholarship on Palestine-- Morris has debated Finkelstein several times (on Russian TV, the Democracy Now radio show, and in print (Journal of Palestine Studies)). Finkelstein's books are loaded with quotations from Morris's works and Finkelstein's 'Image-and-Reality' is in Morris's bibliography for Righteous Victims.

@Toutourina Toubourina,put your pajamas and go to sleep...

[emilram]

@rulllar Mr.Rullar,Benny Morris presents history not like an historian but rather like an objective  eyewitness both arab or israeli.

Blinded is blinded. For 1 min, for 24 hours or for 1 000 years.

Only racist zionists can experiment pain on dogs so that they can use it on palestinian children.

Israel is not making painful scientific test on animals to make weapons to use on israelis but to be used on palestinians.

Ilan Pappe was right letting the world know about Israels real intentions.
