Encyclopedia
Ilan Pappé is a professor with the College of Social Sciences and International Studies at the University of Exeter
in the UK, director of the university's European Centre for Palestine Studies, co-director of the Exeter Centre for Ethno-Political Studies, and political activist. He was formerly a senior lecturer in political science at the University of Haifa
(1984–2007) and chair of the Emil Touma Institute for Palestinian and Israeli Studies in Haifa (2000–2008). He is the author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine (2006), The Modern Middle East (2005), A History of Modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples (2003), and Britain and the Arab-Israeli Conflict (1988). He was formerly a leading member of Hadash
, and was a candidate on the party list in the 1996
and 1999 Knesset elections.
Pappé is one of Israel's "New Historians
" who, since the release of pertinent British and Israeli government documents in the early 1980s, have been rewriting the history of Israel's creation in 1948, and the corresponding expulsion or flight
of 700,000 Palestinians
in the same year. He has written that the expulsions were not decided on an ad hoc
basis, as other historians have argued, but constituted the ethnic cleansing
of Palestine
, in accordance with Plan Dalet
, drawn up in 1947 by Israel's future leaders. He blames the creation of Israel for the lack of peace in the Middle East, arguing that Zionism is more dangerous than Islamic militancy, and has called for an international boycott of Israeli academics
.
He is a prominent supporter of the One State Solution envisaging one state for Palestinians and Israelis.
His work has been both supported and criticized by other historians. Before he left Israel in 2008, he had been condemned in the Knesset
, Israel's parliament; a minister of education had called for him to be sacked; his photograph had appeared in a newspaper at the centre of a target; and he had received several death threats.
to German-Jewish parents who fled Nazi persecution in the 1930s. At the age of 18, he was drafted into the Israel Defense Forces
, serving in the Golan Heights during the 1973 Yom Kippur War
. He graduated from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
in 1978, and in 1984 obtained his PhD in history from the University of Oxford
, under the guidance of Arab historian Albert Hourani
and Roger Owen. His doctoral thesis became his first book, Britain and the Arab-Israeli Conflict.
during the war in 1948, based upon interviews Arab residents of the village and Israeli veteran of the operation. Neither Israeli nor Palestinian historians had previously recorded any such incident. Meyrav Wurmser
describes it as a "made-up massacre," but according to Pappé "In fact the story of Tantura had already been told before, as early as 1950 . . . It appears in the memoirs of a Haifa notable, Muhammad Nimr al-Khatib, who, a few days after the battle, recorded the testimony of a Palestinian." In December 2000, Katz was sued for libel by veterans of the Alexandroni Brigade
and after the testimony was heard, he retracted his allegations about the massacre. Twelve hours later, he retracted his retraction.
Following the trial the university appointed a committee to reexamine the thesis, which decided to overturn the original decision and fail it. Pappé continues to defend both Katz and his thesis. Tom Segev
and others argued that there is merit or some truth in what Katz described. According to the Israeli new historian
Benny Morris
, although war crimes were committed, there's "no unequivocal proof of a large-scale massacre."
He left the University of Haifa in 2007, to take up his appointment in Exeter, after his endorsement of the boycott of Israeli universities led the president of the university to call for his resignation. Pappé said that he found it "increasingly difficult to live in Israel" with his "unwelcome views and convictions." In a Qatar
newspaper interview explaining his decision, he said: "I was boycotted in my university and there had been attempts to expel me from my job. I am getting threatening calls from people every day. I am not being viewed as a threat to the Israeli society but my people think that I am either insane or my views are irrelevant. Many Israelis also believe that I am working as a mercenary for the Arabs.
Pappé currently works on 20th century ethno-politics in the history department of the University of Exeter, Cornwall Campus. As of the 2009/2010 academic year, he will join the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies on the main Streatham Campus
in Exeter.
as seventh on the Communist Party-led Hadash
list.
After years of political activism, Pappé supports economic and political boycotts of Israel
, including an academic boycott
. He believes boycotts are justified because "the Israeli occupation
is a dynamic process and it becomes worse with each passing day. The AUT can choose to stand by and do nothing, or to be part of a historical movement similar to the anti-apartheid campaign against the white supremacist regime in South Africa. By choosing the latter, it can move us forward along the only remaining viable and non-violent road to saving both Palestinians and Israelis from an impending catastrophe."
As a result, University of Haifa President Aharon Ben-Ze'ev called on Pappé to resign, saying: "it is fitting for someone who calls for a boycott of his university to apply the boycott himself." He said that Pappé would not be ostracized, since that would undermine academic freedom
, but he should leave voluntarily. In the same year, Pappé initiated the annual Israeli Right of return conferences, which called for the unconditional right of return of the Palestinian refugees who were expelled in 1948.
, Richard Falk, Ella Shohat
, Nur Masalha and John Pilger
among others. Pilger describes Pappé as "Israel’s bravest, most principled, most incisive historian."
Those critical of his work include Benny Morris
, Efraim Karsh
, Herbert London
, Steven Plaut
and Daniel Gutwein, Professor of Jewish history at Haifa University.
Another of the "new" Israeli historians, Benny Morris, writing about Pappé's book, A History of Modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples, in The New Republic
magazine, calls Pappé's book "truly appalling." He says it subjugates history to political ideology, and "contains errors of a quantity and a quality that are not found in serious historiography." Morris has said that there is "a correct, 'true' narrative and a distorted, mendacious narrative."
Pappé has responded that publications by both himself and Morris all contain mistakes regarding dates, names, and numbers:
Efraim Karsh
, one of the most vocal critics of the New Historians
, also accuses Pappé of factual misrepresentations:
He also singles Pappé out as "the odd man out among the so-called New Historians", for relying on secondary sources and admitting his own bias in his introduction. Karsh critically quotes Pappé saying "My bias is apparent despite the desire of my peers that I stick to facts and the "truth" when reconstructing past realities. I view any such construction as vain and presumptuous. This book is written by one who admits compassion for the colonized not the colonizer; who sympathizes with the occupied not the occupiers." Pappé's response was that Karsh 'has taken upon himself the mantle of spokesperson for the Zionist narrative, and anyone thus committed to a national narrative cannot begin to accept the claims made by the counter-narrative, in this case, the Palestinian one.'

If it is possible Israel’s conduct in 1948 would be brought onto the stage of international tribunals; this may deliver a message even to the peace camp in Israel that reconciliation entails recognition of war crimes and collective atrocities.

This reaction encompasses academia, the media and educational system, as well as political circles."
