Facts and Fables: The Arab-Israeli Conflict

By Clifford A. Wright

The Arab-Israeli conflict is one of the greatest threats to world peace today. Yet for all the importance and passion of this conflict very little is actually known about the story behind the headlines. Behind each confrontation and each act of terrorism is a long and deep story. This primer on the Arab-Israeli conflict, first published in 1989, examines the real stories behind the conflict and separates fact from fable. By carefully documenting, each claim and counter-claim, many widely-held beliefs are unmasked as myths.

Best Book on the Subject

This is my favorite book on the Palestine-Israeli conflict. Zionists have had a monopoly on information on this subject and have created a web of myths. This book debunks these myths in 17 chapters, each of which discusses a particular topic such as "Israel and democracy". All claims made by the author are documented in footnotes so any sceptic can check them. ... if this information was more widely known the tragedy happening in Palestine might be stopped.

If you want to know why Arabs refuse to have peace

If you want to know why Arab[ians] refuse to have peace with Israel then this is the book for you. The Author talks about the treatment of the Palestinians in the occupied territories and sheds light on the inhumane practices of the Israeli army and government.

A Must For All Interested in The Arab-Israeli Conflict

The book indicates how the foundation of the state of Israel was not as peaceful as many may think. Israel was founded at the expense of the indegenious population in violation of all human and international rights and laws. This book tells you why.
