DESCRIPTION:
"Sabbagh has furnished the reader with what is needed for a rational settlement of this mutually destructive dispute.""Carefully researched and engaging, Sabbagh's memoir offers a vital yet unfamiliar perspective on the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a heartfelt, judicious invitation to dialogue.""Karl Sabbagh's Palestine: A Personal History chronicles his family's history with a growing sense of despair born of personal experience and the discovery of documents that illuminate the dispossession of the Palestinians."
Sabbagh’s memoir offers a vital yet unfamiliar perspective on the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a heartfelt, judicious invitation to dialogue.” Publishers WeeklyPalestinians feature regularly in news headlines, but their country is much less known. In this humane and deeply compelling book, Karl Sabbagh traces Palestine and Palestinians from their roots in the mélange of tribes, ethnic groups, and religions that have populated the region for centuries, and describes how, as a result of the interplay of global power politics, the majority of Palestinians were expelled from their home to make way for the new Jewish state of Israel. Palestine: A Personal History offers a sympathetic portrait of the country’s rich heritage as well as evidence of the long-standing harmony between Arabs (Muslim and Christian) and the small indigenous Jewish population in Palestine. Karl Sabbagh has written both a transporting narrative and a meditation on a region that remains a flashpoint of conflicta story of how past choices and actions reverberate in the present day.
Elian said Great Read!. Very informative and unbiased to an extent. Unfortunately books relating to this are always scrutinized by Zionists as you can see from previous comments. I recommend this to anyone with the desire to know more about the conflict. Very informative study of Palestine William Podmore Karl Sabbagh, a writer and television producer, has produced a convincing refutation of the Zionists' biggest lie - that they took over `a land without a people'. As he recounts in detail, the Sabbagh family, like the vast majority of the Arab population, have lived in Palestine for more than 300 years. This fascinating book traces Palestine's history from 1900 to 1948 and examines the original injustice of the Zionists' theft of the land.Over the last 400 years, documented evidence proves the continuing presence of Palestinian Arabs as a large majority . Heartbreaking and accurate account of the systmatic annhilation of a peoples. Trolly McTrollstein It's sad the there are so many disingenuous reviews on here attempting to maliciously conceal facts backed by an impressively constructed piece of work such as this. It should be all the more reason for readers to pick this up and judge it for themselves based upon it merit, rather than the vociferous clamourings of the intellectually dishonest.
