The Biggest Prison on Earth: A History of the Occupied Territories

Easy readable, well documented, detailed, complete, convincing and impressive work. It sums up and explains the zionist policy in the Occupied Territories, settler colonialism, as well as the measuments towards and consequences for the indigious population. A must read for anyone who wants to understand the origin of this conflict, its effect on both populations in particular the dispocession and rightless position of the Palestinians.

Everyone should be grateful that Ilan Pappe has the courage and erudition to expose in detail what is obviously one of the longest attempts of ‘ethnic cleansing’ in modern history.From the policy of ‘tihur’, ‘ethnic cleansing’, of 800,000 Palestinians to create the Jewish State, to the hundred thousand or more Palestinians ‘transferred’ after Israel’s 1967 second territorial expansion (the first attempt was in 1956 to seize the Suez Canal), to the daily oppression of Palestinian ‘inhabitants’ to force them to abandon their homeland, this is a slow destruction of a centuries-old society.Thoughtful and/or compassionate people should both appreciate Professor Pappe’s efforts to illuminate the dark religious cloud of deceit which camouflages this on-going modern atrocity.

A must read for everyone who breath democracy. It is an amazing book that details the story of the inhuman treatment of Palestinian in their own land.

I am so grateful for topnotch historian-scholar Ilan Pape who uses his considerable talent to expose the brutal truth of the pre-meditated Zionist colonialism of Palestine.

Terribly unsettling. What is being done and funded — paid for by the US blank check to Israeli government— would shock most Israelis, let alone the Americans who pay their taxes and care where the money goes. Anti-semitism isn’t Israel’s problem. The problem is the lack of human rights for anyone but Israelis. Anyone who declares “never again” but supports Israel’s treatment of indigenous people in the land is a hypocrite. The US must stop paying for the prison; the destruction of human lives. What a travesty.

Illan Pappe' is a great scholar, an honest courageous person, who tells the truth about the Palestinian tragedy. All his books are well documented and expose the lies of Zionist propaganda.

A rare honest version of the plight of the Palestinians - all the more noteworthy as it is delivered by an Israeli with a conscience.

Ilan Pappe tells the truth about how Israel has been and continues to execute a policy and strategy of genocide against the people of Palestine.
