Abstract

The recent declassification of millions of documents from the period of the British Mandate (1920-1948) and Israel’s early days, documents untapped by earlier generations of writers and ignored or distorted by the “new historians,” paint a much more definitive picture of the historical record. They reveal that the claim of Palestinian dispossession is not only completely unfounded but the inverse of the truth.

Keywords: 1948 war, Palestine war, Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Palestinian refugees, Palestine, Israel
