This week's review is on the very well-written short novel Khirbet Khizeh by Yizhar Smilansky, which narrates an honest IDF/Haganah perspective on the 1948 ethnic cleansing. Well worth a read. pic.twitter.com/DfBk6rc39g

If you want an unusual perspective on the 1948 expulsions of Palestinians by the Haganah, etc., Khirbet Khizeh by Yizhar Smilansky, an Israeli who took part in them, is worth a read. It's written in the tradition of The Red Badge of Courage and All Quiet on the Western Front. pic.twitter.com/bOFQ7LlfMj
