## Description

A landmark history of one hundred years of war waged against the Palestinians from the foremost US historian of the Middle East, told through pivotal events and family historyIn 1899, Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, mayor of Jerusalem, alarmed by the Zionist call to create a Jewish national home in Palestine, wrote a letter aimed at Theodore Herzl: the country had an indigenous people who would not easily accept their own displacement. He warned of the perils ahead, ending his note, “in the name of God, let Palestine be left alone.” Thus Rashid Khalidi, al-Khalidi’s great-great-nephew, begins this sweeping history, the first general account of the conflict told from an explicitly Palestinian perspective.Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members―mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists―The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age. He highlights the key episodes in this colonial campaign, from the 1917 Balfour Declaration to the destruction of Palestine in 1948, from Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon to the endless and futile peace process. Original, authoritative, and important, The Hundred Years' War on Palestine is not a chronicle of victimization, nor does it whitewash the mistakes of Palestinian leaders or deny the emergence of national movements on both sides. In reevaluating the forces arrayed against the Palestinians, it offers an illuminating new view of a conflict that continues to this day.

Review: Best book to understand Colonial history of Palestine - Best book to equip yourself with knowledge about palestine since the very start of zionism and success in occupation of Palestine because of complete support of British. They trained the settlers with arms and funded the complete occupation to fulfill aim of Herzl.
Review: The Palestinian POV - reading in 2023 - I bought this book in 2021 but only got to reading it now - in Nov '23 - for obvious reasons. So far, I've had a surface level understanding of this seemingly intractable conflict. This book helps with some detailing - espescially from the Palestinian side (the israeli side has been well covered by media for a while now). Yet, I wouldn't say this is the only book to read on the topic - in fact, the end notes have provided me with more to add to my wishlist. (I would also, for the sake of full clarity, still like to counter-check some Israeli perspective too, no doubt). Despite getting the historical connect of Judaism/Jews with the lands of Palestine/Israel (& a soft corner for it despite being agnostic), I've always also had a sneaking sympathy for the Palestinians' plight - slightly more of late. This book adds to that sentiment. (I'm all for a united democratic state (very tough) or a two state (possible if Israel relents a bit)). In terms of specifics, the description of the 1982 invasion of Lebanon was the one that had me taking particular notice. The parallels with the war happening now as I type is absolutely uncanny (though the provocation seems 'tamer' compared to Oct 7). It remains to be seen if the end is the same i.e. no-significant-movement more or less - hopefully not. The point about the Palestinian political leaders' fumbles in the modern world of diplomacy/lobbying/legalese, makes for sad reading. In the meantime, the Israelis don't update their playbook either with zero compromises. Details of the ineffectual Arab govt response - repeatedly - is an interesting learning. And yet, were they a complete sell out? The psychological support for israel in the west is dealt with and explained but the mid East leaders are all individual nationalism + weaker militaries + beholden to old imperial masters. But surely there had to be the emotional side too. I feel like some mention could've been made of factors like expulsion of Jews from Arab nations (like role of Iraqi govt?) and was this a wise move given that it only increased the israeli demographic game? But i understand that this is mainly abt the suffering of the Palestinian people. The writing is fairly clear. Some aspects of the narrative structuring were a bit confusing and required me to go back to get the chronology of events/motivations right. In short - great for understanding the human palestinian POV; but not the only book to read on this subject.
