Rashid Khalidi
À propos de cet audio
This program includes an introduction read by the author.
A landmark history of 100 years of war waged against the Palestinians from the foremost US historian of the Middle East, told through pivotal events and family history.
In 1899, Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, mayor of Jerusalem, alarmed by the Zionist call to create a Jewish national home in Palestine, wrote a letter aimed at Theodore Herzl: the country had an indigenous people who would not easily accept their own displacement. He warned of the perils ahead, ending his note, “in the name of God, let Palestine be left alone.” Thus Rashid Khalidi, al-Khalidi’s great-great-nephew, begins this sweeping history, the first general account of the conflict told from an explicitly Palestinian perspective.
Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members - mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists - The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age. He highlights the key episodes in this colonial campaign, from the 1917 Balfour Declaration to the destruction of Palestine in 1948, from Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon to the endless and futile peace process.
Original, authoritative, and important, The Hundred Years' War on Palestine is not a chronicle of victimization, nor does it whitewash the mistakes of Palestinian leaders or deny the emergence of national movements on both sides. In reevaluating the forces arrayed against the Palestinians, it offers an illuminating new view of a conflict that continues to this day.

Ahed Tamimi is a world-renowned Palestinian activist, born and raised in the small West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, which became a center of the resistance to Israeli occupation when an illegal, Jewish-only settlement blocked off its community spring. Tamimi came of age participating in nonviolent demonstrations against this action and the occupation at large. Her global renown reached an apex in December 2017, when, at sixteen years old, she was filmed slapping an Israeli soldier who refused to leave her front yard. The video went viral, and Tamimi was arrested.

Histoire5 out of 5 stars 4
In the past five years, Israel has mounted three major assaults on the 1.8 million Palestinians trapped behind its blockade of the Gaza Strip. Taken together, Operation Cast Lead (2008-9), Operation Pillar of Defense (2012), and Operation Protective Edge (2014) have resulted in the deaths of some 3,700 Palestinians. Meanwhile a total of 90 Israelis were killed in the invasions. On the face of it, this succession of vastly disproportionate attacks has often seemed frenzied and pathological.

In 1896, a Jewish state was a pipe dream. Today the overwhelming majority of Jews identify as Zionists. How did this happen? Ilan Pappe unveils how a lobby changed the map of the Middle East. Zionists exerted pressure on the Congress, cracked down on dissent in the Labour Party, and relentlessly smeared critics.

Renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappe's groundbreaking book revisits the formation of the State of Israel. Between 1947 and 1949, over 400 Palestinian villages were deliberately destroyed, civilians were massacred, and around a million men, women, and children were expelled from their homes at gunpoint. Denied for almost six decades, had it happened today it could only have been called "ethnic cleansing."

Ta-Nehisi Coates originally set out to write a book about writing, in the tradition of Orwell’s classic “Politics and the English Language,” but found himself grappling with deeper questions about how our stories—our reporting and imaginative narratives and mythmaking—expose and distort our realities. In the first of the book’s three intertwining essays, Coates, on his first trip to Africa, finds himself in two places at once: in Dakar, a modern city in Senegal, and in a mythic kingdom in his mind.

In 1965, the US government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the 20th century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful.

The devastation of 7 October 2023 and the horrors that followed astounded the world. But the Israel-Palestine conflict didn't start on 7 October. It didn't start in 1967 either, when Israel occupied the West Bank, or in 1948 when the state of Israel was declared. It started in 1882, when the first Zionist settlers arrived in what was then Ottoman Palestine. Ilan Pappe untangles the history of two peoples, now sharing one land.

As Nahr sits, locked away in solitary confinement, she spends her days reflecting on the dramatic events that landed her in prison in a country she barely knows. Born in Kuwait in the 70s to Palestinian refugees, she dreamed of falling in love with the perfect man, raising children, and possibly opening her own beauty salon. Instead, the man she thinks she loves jilts her after a brief marriage, her family teeters on the brink of poverty, she’s forced to prostitute herself, and the US invasion of Iraq makes her a refugee, as her parents had been.

Israel is a tiny state, and yet it has captured the world's attention, aroused its imagination, and, lately, been the object of its opprobrium. Why does such a small country speak to so many global concerns? More pressingly: Why does Israel make the decisions it does? And what lies in its future? We cannot answer these questions until we understand Israel's people and the questions and conflicts, the hopes and desires, that have animated their conversations and actions.

Setting the record straight
As a Canadian, I am familiar with the "settler" term. This is what Indigenous people call *me*.
Like most of us, I have been snowballed by the "negotiations." over Palestine. The people on the ground have never been represented in these "negotiations". For most of the last 100 years, they have never even been mentioned in UN resolutions related to Palestine. I have always been mystified by the behaviour of the Jews in Israel. It seemed so lawless and cruel. But now I understand that they are acting legally by their own rules. The entire land belongs to them. Non-Jews are effectively vermin.
As I write, Israel is in the business of bombing the open air of Gaza into rubble. Hamas's violent behaviour results from 100 years of bad-faith negotiations with the Jews. It's all that is left to them.
This book allowed me to see the entire project in a "colonial" light. The ultimate extermination of Palestinians is in line with what colonial powers have done throughout history. It is equivalent to the German desire for "lebensraum" or the brutal treatment of Native Americans by European settlers.

This eye-opening book should be read by all! Before Oct 7th, I thought I had a decent/basic understanding of the whole Israel/Palestine history.
Post Oct 7th, I spent a lot of time reading all I could online. I thought I learned a lot. I learned little..
This book lays it all out. Shocking...
Again, everyone should read or listen to this book!!!!

A historical account that is usually suppressed or downplayed in our western mainstream media
An even handed approach to the subject. The author does a great job of not only talking about Israel’s true history and motivations but also the corruption and failings of the Palestinian leadership, of which there were many.

Great overview of the Palestinian cause
I loved the author's personal anecdotes through the various phases of history. Also, his detailed and insider knowledge of the conflict deepened my understanding of this compmex issue. Great for beginners and veterans of the Israeli Palestinian conflict. One problem was that the narrator often mispronounced names of important leaders ("Be-geeen" drove me nuts). I highly recommend this book.

How uninformed we are.
Although I think of myself of a student of history, I was appalled at how much I and most of the west have ignored the issue of Palestine. The book is definitely a point of view from a firsthand Palestinian, who grew up and witnessed much of what he spoke. Although I’m sure there is bias in the story the overwhelming fact that are presented should make one week for the Palestinian people. This book is an eye-opener to what is going on these days and what continues to be played out. It is hard to think of solutions, when people is so subjugated and through that subjugation and terror, the result is more terror.

United States isn’t an honest broker
I blame Anglo-Saxon settler colonists Great Britain and United States for the genocide of Palestinians. Unfortunately, many naive Jewish Israeli people are being abused and taken for a ride to further the interests of the White Man in the Middle East. The sooner Israelis wake up the better and start the reconciliation with the indigenous Palestinians.

Outstanding
This is highly recommended for anyone who wants to actually understand the Israeli conflict from a different perspective without all recriminations and rhetoric that we see in the news and on social media. The author is far more optimistic than he ought to have been, and that makes me sad. He poured his heart into the subject as a plea for both sides to change, and he must horribly sad by the recent trajectory of the conflict. Reading this book and listening to those who want peace is absolutely required right now, no matter your religion, political allegiance, or nationality.
