The Idea of Israel considers the way Zionism operates outside of the government and military in areas such as the country’s education system, media, and cinema. In particular, Pappe examines the way successive generations of historians have framed the 1948 conflict as a liberation campaign, creating a foundation myth that went unquestioned in Israeli society until the 1990s. The Idea of Israel is a powerful and urgent intervention in the war of ideas concerning the past, and the future, of the Palestinian–Israeli conflict.
'Israel's bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.' --John Pilger
'Along with Edward Said, Ilan Pappe is the most eloquent writer of Palestinian history.' --New Statesman
