Review: Essential reading to understand the history of contemporary Palestine/Israel - I am academically well informed regarding the history of Zionism and Palestine but I nonetheless found this book very informative in that it explains clearly how much of the western propaganda in support of Israel is, as the book's title makes clear, myth. It is also structured in an accessible and ordered way that provides the reader with a strong sense of how the appalling events occurring in Gaza and The West Bank today were inevitable. It is recommended reading for everyone who wants to understand not just the recolonalisation of Palestine by Zionist settlers but also help them to recognize that the same process, that is recolonization, in is taking place in many other nations, albeit in often (but not always) more subtle ways, only recently liberated from the colonial rule of the great powers of the nineteenth century. Review: A Courageous Unmasking of Historical Falsehoods - Ten Myths About Israel by renowned historian Ilan Pappé is a masterclass in intellectual bravery, scholarly precision, and moral clarity. With piercing insight and unflinching honesty, Pappé dismantles the foundational myths that have long shielded Israeli policies from scrutiny and distorted the narrative surrounding Palestine. Through ten accessible yet deeply researched chapters, Pappé confronts some of the most persistent falsehoods — from the idea that Palestine was "a land without a people" to the claim that Israel is the “only democracy in the Middle East.” Each myth is unpacked with rigorous historical evidence, compelling arguments, and a profound sense of justice. What makes this book especially powerful is its refusal to sanitise history for comfort. Pappé dares to name what so many others avoid: the Nakba was not a tragic accident of war, but a deliberate campaign of ethnic cleansing. His writing cuts through the fog of propaganda and reminds readers that truth-telling is an essential act of resistance. This book is a beacon for anyone seeking clarity amid the noise, a vital tool for educators, students, activists, and anyone who refuses to be complicit in silence. With elegance and urgency, Ten Myths About Israel calls us not only to rethink what we’ve been told, but to stand firmly on the side of truth and human dignity. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 67,258 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 4 in Jewish Studies 1,399 in World History (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,003) | | Dimensions | 12.88 x 1.45 x 19.69 cm | | Edition | New | | ISBN-10 | 1804297046 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1804297049 | | Item weight | 156 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | 17 Sept. 2024 | | Publisher | Verso Books | ## Images ![Ten Myths About Israel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bucgeU+ML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential reading to understand the history of contemporary Palestine/Israel *by L***J on 1 January 2025* I am academically well informed regarding the history of Zionism and Palestine but I nonetheless found this book very informative in that it explains clearly how much of the western propaganda in support of Israel is, as the book's title makes clear, myth.

With elegance and urgency, Ten Myths About Israel calls us not only to rethink what we’ve been told, but to stand firmly on the side of truth and human dignity. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An accurate view of Israel *by B***T on 21 October 2024* I have already read Ilan's book The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, so this seems a logical book to follow with, especially as it has been updated. Israel can be changed, but the real "belief" must come from within. Regardless, much can be done by outsiders such as the USA in forcing Israel to change. However, I do believe that the 2 separate states can be accomplished. I strongly believe that Palestine should be classified as an individual state but only if Gaza and the Left Bank are united. I would extend Gaza up the coast and inland by the same territory as the Left Bank has. Arab occupants of the Left Bank could relocate if they wished and the left Bank would then be part of Israel. The new Palestine would have its own sea territory, total autonomy, sea port, airport, etc. Israel took the land away; they can give some back. Anyway, thank you Mr. Pappe for a very interesting and thoughtful book. You are a brave man to be so critical of your own country even though you are not resident there. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/583718316-ten-myths-about-israel](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/583718316-ten-myths-about-israel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
