History Upside Down

the long version

David Levi-Meir traces the ideological DNA behind Palestinian nationalism and its "alternative" histories, exposing how Nazism gave the Arab world's amorphous hatred of the Jews an intellectual structure and how Soviet communism veiled its genocidal ambitions with the mantle of national liberation. Meir-Levi then explodes this movement's cornerstone myths-myths that excuse years of unremitting terror, refashion the victim into the agressor, and flip the true history of the Middle East on its head.
