Description
American-Israeli political commentator and journalist, Sha’i ben-Tekoa, boldly reports “Palestinians” do not exist. They are, and always have been, Arabs and overwhelmingly Muslim. In his new book,PHANTOM NATION: Inventing the “Palestinians” as the Obstacle to Peace, he supports his claim with solid historical research.
Prior to the Madrid Peace Conference in 1991, the Office of Israel’s Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir tasked ben-Tekoa with a research project to study voting patterns in the United Nations. What he discovered was astounding. From the birth of the United Nations in 1945 until 1970 - three years after Israel conquered the West Bank in the Six-Day War - there was no mention of a Palestinian nation.
In a sweeping history of Israel and how, over the last generation, its enemy’s propaganda has re-written history, Phantom Nation makes the case that Palestinian Nationalism has replaced anti-Semitism as this generation’s “legitimate” excuse for murdering Jews.

10 of 12 people found the following review helpfulEye OpeningBy Kim on October 5, 2013Format: Kindle Edition Verified PurchaseA great read, eye-opening information that changes your perception of what is reality and what passes for popular misconceptions foisted by our "experts" and the chattering classes.
7 of 8 people found the following review helpfulA truthful accounting....By Zach on October 25, 2013Format: Kindle Edition Verified PurchaseA relentless and thorough presentation of historical fact, arranged in chronological order. Many sources are cited, such as the New York Times news archive. In this, he draws the reader's attention to the incremental corruption of language used to describe tactics, people and places, culminating in a new and fictitious "Palestinian narrative"....Truth turned upside-down. If you wonder how the conflict began, or why it continues today, then read this book. Many surprises throughout. Highly recommended
