The Zionist project is coming to an end, with Ilan Pappé

We are joined by Ilan Pappé, professor of history at the University of Exeter in the UK and director of the European Centre for Palestine Studies.

Pappé gained renown as one of the “new historians,” a group of Israeli scholars who in the 1980s shattered longstanding Zionist lies about the founding of Israel, and corroborated Palestinian accounts of the Nakba using Israeli archival sources.

He’s the author of many books including A History of Modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples and The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine. Pappé is also a regular contributor to The Electronic Intifada.

Nora Barrows-Friedman, Asa Winstanley, Ali Abunimah and Jon Elmer of The Electronic Intifada were joined by Ilan Pappé, Israeli historian, and Dr. Ben Thomson, who recently returned from the Gaza Strip
