This paper examines the book, “Righteous Victims: A History of the Zionist-Arab Conflict, 1881-1999?, by noted historian Benny Morris, a comprehensive, well-composed and precise history of the conflict, from Zionism’s birth in the wake of the Russian pogroms to the vague scenario for 1999 peace. It looks at how the book is a complete and objective history of the extensive dispute between Arabs and Jews for ownership of a land called home by both.
Benny Morris has also given sketch portraits and enlightening story about the compelling leaders who have been the leading role of this controversial history, which also comprises of Anwar Sadat, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, Theodor Herzl, David Ben-Gurion, and Menachem Begin (PolitInfo). Furthermore, as Benny Morris has discussed few elements of the Palestinian anguish like for instance mass uprooting and banishment of the Palestinian people as well as to limited extent other types of collective punishments. He has portrayed the Palestinians as rigid, prone to brutality, insensitive for the Jewish pain and misery & human agony while on the other hand the Israelis had been portrayed as cultured, cooperative, concerned and understanding to the Palestinian reasons (PolitInfo).
