A Very Short History of the Israel-Palestine Conflict
by Ilan Pappe
Tuesday, February 17th at 5:15 pm via Zoom
PACG Book Club
Note: We are changing the date of this meeting to Tuesday since some of our regular participants can't come on Monday. We will return to the 3rd Monday next month.
The February book discussion will also be via Zoom. We will read and discuss A Very Short History of the Israel-Palestine Conflict by Ilan Pappe. I think the title of the book says it all! Contact me for the Zoom link.

Read more at Goodreads:
"An indispensable guide to understanding the Israel-Palestine conflict, and how we might yet still find a way out of it."
"Ilan Pappe is the most original, radical and hard-hitting of Israel's 'new historians. -Avi Shlaim, author of Three Worlds"
"The devastation of 7 October 2023 and the horrors that followed astounded the world. But the Israel-Palestine conflict didn't start on 7 October. It didn't start in 1967 either, when Israel occupied the West Bank, or in 1948 when the state of Israel was declared. It started in 1882, when the first Zionist settlers arrived in what was then Ottoman Palestine. Ilan Pappe untangles the history of two peoples, now sharing one land. Going back to the founding fathers of Zionism, Pappe expertly takes us through the twists and turns of international policy towards Israel-Palestine, Palestinian resistance to occupation, and the changes taking place in Israel itself."
