What happened to the Palestinians when Israel declared its independence in 1948?
Was it ethnic cleansing? Chaos? Legitimate Jewish self-defense?
Prof. Benny Morris is a, if not the, preeminent historian of this question.
His answers tend to upset everyone equally, which is an accomplishment when it comes to Israel & Palestine. In short, Morris' scholarship is contentious, but hugely important--particularly his early revelations on the birth of the Palestinian refugee crisis.
This is part one of my two part interview with Morris last summer, at his home in southern Israel.

What happened to the Palestinians when Israel declared its independence in 1948?
Was it ethnic cleansing? Chaos? Legitimate Jewish self-defense?
Prof. Ilan Pappe is perhaps the most contentious Israeli historian of this question.
Decidedly left-wing in his outlook, Pappe is both an historian, and a social activist. He's perhaps most famous for his book "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine," in which he lays out a case that the war for the creation of Israel in 1948 is best understood as an ethnic cleansing of the native Palestinian population by primarily European Jews.
Unsurprisingly, Pappe's scholarship is widely derided in Israel. Yet his work is often celebrated by many pro-Palestinian activists in the Middle East and abroad.
Pappe currently teaches history at the University of Exeter, in the UK.
This is part two of my two part interview with Pappe last summer, in Haifa.
