Title: A Sham, Contemptible.
Product review: This is the "Must Read" book for those who like to point out that "The Jews only want a TINY slice of land---just look! The Arabs have so much! Why can't the Palestinians just understand and let the Jews settle in?". For anyone who's listened over the last twenty years, this book has been thoroughly discredited, many times over. It got good reviews only in the US, where no scholars were allowed to review it. It was blasted in Britain and denounced in Israel. The "research" the book gets so much attention for is a jumble of out-of-context information culled from a handful of studies done mostly by Great Britain during the mandate period. When Ms. Peters isn't misquoting something, she's manufacturing her own version of the study that she then refers to again and again.There are lot's of great books out there about Palestine, the Arab land given to European and American Jews in 1948. This has never been one of them. If you think this is scholarship, you don't know scholarship.
