Collective Sexual Violence in Turkey, 1894–1924
The essay deals with the rape component of the Muslim Turkish massacres of Christian Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians during the years between 1894 and 1924 and the pertinent archival sources. During the three bouts of massacre, amounting to staggered genocides, in 1894–1896, 1915–1916 and 1920–1924, in which the Muslim Turks, under Ottoman imperial governments and, subsequently, under Ataturk’s Nationalist/republican rule, murdered some two milli…
Cast thy bread ’
This article describes Israel's bacteriological warfare campaign during the first Arab-Israeli war of 1948. Over the decades following that war rumours circulated that Israel had used bacteria, alongside conventional weaponry, in its battle against Palestine's Arabs and the surrounding Arab states. The declassification of files in the Israeli military archives, our discovery of a crucial letter in private hands, and the publication of a handful o…
The Thirty-Year Genocide
A new understanding of the three waves of ethno-religious violence that swept Turkey from the last days of the Ottoman Empire to the early years of the Turkish Republic, arguing that all three were part of one purposeful genocidal program....

Zionism and the Arabs
Mandate Palestine in Perspective
The Arab Revolt in Palestine was an important event that ultimately convinceed the British that they were unable to reconcile the two local national movements. Yet the British soldiered on, for years, before Ernest Bevin's declaration in February 1947 that Britain had decided to stop shouldering the burden, handing the Palestine Mandate back to the international community, that is the United Nations, for resolution. This review essay addresses tw…
Remembering Palestine before 1948
This essay offers insights and perspectives on studying and understanding the 1948 war, the first war between Israel and the Arabs, and specifically, the Palestinian defeat. The impact of this event, known to the Palestinians as the Nakba (catastrophe) continues to fuel much of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While there is little disagreement between Arabs and Jews about the events and processes of the war, the question of the war's hi…
One State, Two States
One state, two states
The book scrutinises the history of the goals of the Palestinian national movement and the Zionist movement, then considers the various one- and two-state proposals made by different streams within the two movements
Revisiting the Palestinian exodus of 1948
Over the years, the history of the Arab–Zionist conflict has undergone interpretative innovation. The massive declassification of archival documentation in the West and in Israel made possible the historiographic breakthrough of the late 1980s that is now commonly called the “new historiography.” And it is the further declassificatory initiative in Israel today that compels a fresh look at much of what was published in the late 1980s and early 19…
The War for Palestine
The 1948 war led to the creation of the state of Israel, the fragmentation of Palestine, and to a conflict which has raged across the intervening sixty years. The historical debate likewise continues and these debates are encapsulated in the second edition of The War for Palestine, updated to include chapters on Saudi Arabia and Lebanon. In a preface to this edition, the editors survey the state of scholarship in this contested field. The impact …
Making Israel
Benny Morris is the founding father of the New Historians, a group of Israeli scholars who have challenged long-established perceptions about the origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Their research rigorously documented crimes and atrocities committed by the Israeli armed forces, including rape, torture, and ethnic cleansing. With Making Israel, Morris brings together the first collection of translated articles on the New History by leadi…
Réaction des quotidiens juifs d’Eretz Israël à l’accession d’Hitler au pouvoir en 1933
Benny Morris relates how the Yishuv’s Jewish press reacted to Hitler’s take over of Germany. He also deals with the issue of the Jewish-German communities’ defense needs after January 30th, 1933. Although the Yishuv’s ambitions are huge, its actual means are tiny. In its confrontation with Nazi Germany, Askenazi identity which overwhelmingly dominated the local scene, was limited in its efforts by the obsessive concepts of “Culture”. It is precis…
The Historiography of Deir Yassin
This article describes Israeli and Arab historiography concerning the events in the Arab village of Deir Yassin in April 1948, during the first Israeli–Arab war, of 1948. It begins with the internal, left–right Israeli controversy during 1969–71 about the alleged massacre and then describes and analyses what “really” happened at Deir Yassin on the basis of the Israeli (and, to a smaller extent, British) documentation from 1948 that has been decla…
No More Tears
On Ethnic Cleansing
Interview with the path-breaking historian of the Nakba, who bluntly defends the centrality of ethnic cleansing to the Zionist project. A glaring light on the realities of Israeli state-building, with or without the mask of ‘peace process’
The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited
Benny Morris' The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem was published in 1988. Its startling revelations about how and why 700,000 Palestinians left their homes and became refugees during the Arab-Israeli war in 1948 undermined traditional interpretations as to whether they left voluntarily or were expelled as part of a systematic plan. This book represents a revised edition of the earlier work, compiled on the basis of newly-opened Israeli mi…

Response to Finkelstein and Masalha
Norman Finkelstein appears to have confused me with Joan Peters. He views 1948-and, I am sure, most other years-through a thick film of preconceived notions and prejudices. In describing-in The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem, 1947-1949 (1988) and 1948 and After (1990)-what actually happened in 1948 rather than what generations of Israeli and Palestinians propagandists said had happened, I had hoped that at least some preconceptions and …

The Harvest of 1948 and the Creation of the Palestinian Refugee Problem
During the 1947–9 Israeli-Arab war, which pitted two more or less agrarian societies against each other, an intense struggle developed, especially during May–July 1948, over the harvest. The struggle was won by the militarily stronger and better-organized side. While it was peripheral to the outcome of the major engagements of the war and of the war itself, it was important in a variety of ways in the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem a…

And After
In this new collection of essays, three of which appear here for the first time, Benny Morris examines and elucidates aspects of the Arab exodus from Palestine in 1948, focusing on Israeli decision-making and the causes of the mass exile. He deals with the transfer of Majdal's (Ashkelon's) Arabs to Gaza in 1950 and the initial absorption of the Palestinian refugees in the Arab host countries in 1948-9, and looks at why a number of Arab villages i…

Israel’s Border Wars 1949-1956
This book looks at the development of Israeli-Arab relations during the formative years 1949 to 1956, focusing on Arab infiltration into Israel and Israeli retaliation. Palestinian refugee raiding and cross-border attacks by Egyptian-controlled irregulars and commandos were a core phenomenon during this period and one of the chief causes of Israel's invasion of Sinai and the Gaza strip, the Israeli part of the Anglo-French-Israeli invasion of Egy…
A Second Look at the "Missed Peace," or Smoothing Out History
A Second Look at the "Missed Peace," or Smoothing Out History
Israeli historiography underwent a radical transformation in the 1980s. During the preceding decades, Israeli historians, journalists, and politicians vigorously and almost uniformly broadcast an official history, whose essence was that the Zionist movement, and the state it engendered, were incomparably just and moral; that the Zionist leaders were wise and humane (though also firm, when necessary); that Zionism throughout had sought an accommod…
