Expulsion of the Palestinians: The Concept of "Transfer" in Zionist Political Thought, 1882-1948
"Almost entirely based on declassified Israeli archival material, Dr. Masalha's sober and carefully researched account shows conclusively that "transfer" --- a euphemism for expulsion --- was from the start an integral part of Zionism...impressive and timely book...quietly devastating research."   --Rt. Hon. Lord Gilmour, The Guardian, London"…(An) impressive and timely book…quietly devastating research." --Rt. Hon. Lord Gilmour, The Guardian (London)(Dr. Masalha) shows using documents from the Israeli archives, that the flight of the Arab population from what became Israel in 1948 - which Israel's first president, Chiam Weizmann hailed as 'a miraculous clearing of the land' - was in fact 'less than a miracle than the culmination of over a half century of effort, plans and (in the end) brute force'.   --Edward Mortimer, Financial TimesAlmost entirely based on declassified Israeli archival materials, Dr. Masalha's sober and carefully researched account shows conclusively that 'transfer' - a euphemism for expulsion - was from the start an integral part of Zionism....(an) impressive and timely book....quietly devastating research..  --Rt. Hon. Lord Gilmore, The Guardian [London]Dr. Masalha's book will excite controversy, not because his conclusions can be challenged - the sources leave no doubt about the facts - but because the book exposes in detail the notion of the Zionist design and the means by which it was achieved...an important and scrupulous piece of revisionist history.  --Michael Adams, Middle East International--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
