This book is a history of Israel's expansionist policies, focusing on
the period from the June War of 1967 to the present day. He
demonstrates that imperialist tendencies in Israel run the political
gamut, from Left to Right.
Masalha argues that the heart of the conflict between Zionist
immigrants/settlers and the native Palestinians has always been about
land, territory, demography and water. He documents how Israeli policy
has made it a priority to expel the Palestinians, either by war or
peaceful measures. But these imperialist tendencies are not restricted
to extremist zealots. The author uncovers the expansionist policies
found in Labour Zionism and Kookist ideology.
Chapters cover the Whole Land of Israel Movement, Zionist Revisionism
and the Likud Party, Gush Emunim and the religious fundamentalists,
parties and movements of the far right and the evolution of Israeli
Jewish public attitudes since 1967.
