In this groundbreaking work, French philosopher and scholar Roger Garaudy challenges the Zionist narrative of Israeli history, exposing the myths that have been used to justify the creation and expansion of the Israeli state. Garaudy argues that the Zionist movement has systematically distorted history in order to claim a right to the land of Palestine, and that this distortion has been used to legitimize the dispossession of the Palestinian people.
Garaudy's analysis draws on a wide range of historical and theological sources, and he presents his findings in a clear and accessible style. He begins by examining the biblical roots of Zionism, showing how Zionist ideologues have manipulated the Bible to support their claims. He then moves on to discuss the historical development of Zionism, tracing its origins from the late 19th century to the present day.
Garaudy's work is controversial, but it is also essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the complex history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His analysis of the Zionist narrative is both insightful and challenging, and it provides a valuable starting point for any discussion of the conflict's origins.
