Reviews

[Pavel Rahman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Must read book

[Adam · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another masterpiece from Masalha. He provides extensive evidence of how deeply the idea of “transfer” remained embedded in the Israeli psyche even after the Nakba. A threat that of course has only intensified with the open talk of ethnically cleansing Gaza.
