Through a solid historical research, Ilan Pappe dismantles the dominant myths of the Zionist Decalogue, which have been systematically propagated for decades.

The author aims to wash away the colonial methods of multiple extermination of the Palestinians, to present the modern settler state of Israel as the only democracy in the Middle East, and to equate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism in order to silence any criticism of the constructed dominant narratives.
