Professor Ilan Pappé is a formidable academic who is not afraid to write challenging books with which you may disagree.  However, the distinction of his academic analysis deserves consideration.

His book, “Ten Myths About Israel” sets out to clarify the history surrounding the creation of Israel, the duplicity of the super-powers deciding vast areas of the globe a century ago and actions  –  honorable and otherwise  –  that have followed.

For any student of the long-running dispute, this book is succinct, faultlessly researched and well informed.

Whether you will share the history professor’s conclusions is a different matter and that is why in this edition of New Chapter we shall discuss the basis of this controversial offering  –  myths or prejudice  –  you the viewer will decide.
