The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited
Cambridge University Press
The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited. Benny Morris' The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem was published in 1988. Its startling revelations about how and
why 700,000 Palestinians left
Les mer... their homes and became refugees during the Arab-Israeli war in 1948 undermined traditional interpretations
as to whether they left voluntarily or were expelled as part of a systematic plan. This book represents a revised edition
of the earlier work, compiled on the basis of newly-opened Israeli military archives. While the focus remains the 1948 war
and the analysis of the Palestinian exodus, the new material contains more information about what happened in Jerusalem, Jaffa
and Haifa, and how events there led to the collapse of Palestinian urban society. It also sheds light on the battles and atrocities
that resulted in the disintegration of rural communities. The story is a harrowing one. The refugees now number four million
and their existence remains a major obstacle to peace.
