Ilan Pappe is Israel's bravest, most principled, and most incisive historian.

He is one of the most prominent Israeli political dissidents living in exile and one of the few Israeli students of the conflict who writes about the Palestinian side with real knowledge and empathy.

Along with Edward Said, Ilan Pappe is the most eloquent writer of Palestinian history.

"Ten Myths About Israel" is a useful primer for people just becoming familiar with the Palestinian liberation struggle, but it is far more than that. It is also a valuable tool for veteran organizers seeking to explain cogently and simply how Israel's foundational myths and ongoing propaganda perpetuate the conflict.
