Znet interview with Tanya Reinhart

Abstract

Q: Can you tell ZNet, please, what your new book, "Israel/ Palestine - How to End the War of 1948," is about? What is it trying to communicate?

R: Israel - backed by mainstream Western media - describes its war against the Palestinians as a war of defense, a necessary response to Palestinian terror, a noble instance of the global war against terrorism. It is amazing how still now, after two years of massive Israeli destruction of the Palestinian society, so little is known about the real facts of how this war developed, and what Israel's role in it is. The first aim of this book is to bring these facts to light.
