Zionist FAQs: The Birth of Israel: Myths and Realities by Simha Flapan

This is a very well researched book that destroys the most common Zionist myths about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Flapan is a well known Israeli writer and peace activist who was the National Secretary of Israel's Mapam, and the director of its Arab Affairs department. In a way, this book (which was one of the earliest to debunk Zionist myths) greatly complements our Zionists Frequently Asked Questions section, which are mostly based on declassified Israeli and Zionist archives.
