Abstract

A review essay on books by (1) Ilan Pappe, Die Ethnische Sauberung Palastinas ([The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine] Frankfurt/M: Zweitausendeins, 2007); (2) Tom Segev, Die Ersten Israelis: Die Anfange des Judischen Staates ([The First Israelis: The Beginning of the Jewish Country] Munchen: Siedler, 2008) & (3) Idith Zertal and Akiva Eldar, Die Herren des Landes: Israel und die Siedlerbewegung seit 1967 ([The Lords of the Country: Israel and the Settler Movement Since 1967] Muchen: DVA, 2007). The situation of the Palestinians & the influence of the settlers are among the central problems that Israel has to deal with, even 60 years after its establishment. No wonder that Israeli historians are still fighting bitterly among themselves. Three attempts to shed light on these issues. E. Sanchez
