Description
This study of the Middle Eastern conflict emphasizes the period before 1948 when Zionism claimed Palestine and the Palestinian resistance began. Understanding the pre-1948 history of Arab-Zionist relations reveals how current Arab and Israeli attitudes, not to mention Jewish and world opinion, have been formed and how contemporary crises are often evaluated with reference to experiences that extend back to World War I and earlier. The work attempts to highlight the Palestinian experience and its modern history as well as that of Israel. Extended treatment of the period prior to 1948 permits consideration of British policy in Palestine between World War I and 1948 as a point of departure for analysis of Great Power rivalries in the Middle East from the 1950s onward.
