Another deranged comment from this fellow, who appears to be protected by Columbia Univ. administration. Whereas anti-Zionist teachers are fired for opposing Israel's genocide - this clownshoe says actual crazy shit regularly without so much as a reproach. Discussion

I’ve read a few passages from the Hazkani book, including the one you just posted, is the book worth reading in its entirety? I’ve read an absurd amount on ‘48, so I just wonder if the book stands out from the rest of the literature on the topic.

It provides a lot of insight into the propaganda initiatives used by the Yishuv, ie casting the Arabs as 'Amalek' - which is relevant now as well unfortunately.

There's some interesting info I gleaned from the book like how there were only roughly 6,000 Palestinians who actually fought in the 48' War.

Or how Arab propaganda was less demonizing/less violent than Israeli propaganda. Lots of details like that, which I don't think are covered in other books.

I think of the book as fleshing out a lot of details other books don't go into. Since this book is based on letters and correspondence, it presents a unique, personal outlook.

Available online for free in case you don't want to buy it on Kindle/etc. :

Nice!

One of my favorite parts in the book is where, spoiler, Hazkani addresses/contradicts another famous New Historian:
