Reviews

“This is a very professional and empirical study on Israeli attitudes to both the Holocaust and the Naqba and their implications on the construction of present-day Israeli identities. The scholarship is sound and the methodology impressive.” ·  Ilan Pappé, author of A History of Modern Palestine. One Land, Two People.
