The Rape of Palestine and the Struggle for Jerusalem

The author recounts the past century’s history of the Zionist project in the Middle East in order to support Jewish claims for Eretz Israel (sometimes translated as “Greater Israel) and control over Jerusalem. He repeats charges surrounding Arafat, the PLO, and Arabs in general that will be familiar to those who have been following the debate even in recent years. Exemplifying these charges are contentions that, to quote former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, the “Arab purpose is… the destruction of Israel and the annihilation or banishment of her inhabitants.” Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
