The Latest Word in Israel-Bashing -Benny Morris
"New historian" Avi Shlaim earns Israel-bashing brownie points for his newest book, Israel and Palestine: Reappraisals, Revisions, Refutations.
This collection of academic essays and reviews are mostly an extended exercise in anti-Zionism, nothing more.
Nowhere in his book does Shlaim say a word about the Jewish people's three-thousand-year-old connection to the Land of Israel.
Nor does he mention that the Arabs, who had no connection to Palestine, conquered the land in the seventh century from the Byzantine Empire and settled in it, forcibly converting it into an "Arab" land.
