На мой взгляд, "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" одна из главных книг для тех, кто хочет разобраться с чего и как начался израильско-арабский конфликт.
Работа еврейского историка и политического активиста Иллана Паппе. Автор рассказывает об этнических чистках в Палестине. Читать трудно и страшно, но знать об этом преступлении нужно. О том, как создавалось современное государство Израиль. И что такое Накба (النكبة) для палестинцев - катастрофа, потрясение.
В 1948 году около 720 000 палестинских арабов из 900 000, проживавших на территориях, ставших Израилем, бежали или были изгнаны из своих домов.

one such crime has been erased almost totally from the global public memory: the dispossession of the Palestinians in 1948 by Israel. This, the most formative event in the modern history of the land of Palestine, has ever since been systematically denied, and is still today not recognised as an historical fact, let alone acknowledged as a crime that needs to be confronted politically as well as morally
Из художественной литературы я бы посоветовала Адания Шибли - Незначительная деталь и рассказы Гассана Канафани (прекрасного палестинского автора).

Already by 12 March 1948, the State Department had drafted a new proposal to the UN, which suggested an international trusteeship over Palestine for five years, during which the two sides would negotiate an agreed solution. It has been suggested that this was the most sensible American proposal ever put forward in the history of Palestine, the like of which, alas, was never repeated.

One of the major indications that the Jewish forces had the upper hand in 1948, and that the Jewish community in Palestine as a whole was far from facing the fate of extinction and destruction the official Zionist myth paints for us, was the decision of several ethnic minorities in the country to leave the Palestinian camp and join the Jewish forces.
The first and most important of these were the Druze, a religious sect that regards itself as Muslim although Islamic orthodoxy does not accept their claim.

Representatives of the western media, including a New York Times reporter, were still filing stories about individual villages, although the public interest in their fate was by this time diminishing; in any case, western readers were never given the full picture of events. Furthermore, it seems that none of the foreign correspondents dared openly to criticise the actions of the Jewish nation just three years after the Holocaust.
