This study sheds new light on the historic background of the contemporary Palestinian problem. Avneri traces the spread of Jewish settlements over the seventy-year period before the establishment of the State of Israel, in order to see how it affected the existing Arab community's economy and social and cultural institutions. He demonstrates that there is no historical evidence for the eviction of the Palestinians from Israel previous to the founding of the state. Most of those who left afterwards did so on their own volition.Avneri, Arieh L. is the author of 'Claim of Dispossession Jewish Land Settlement and the Arabs, 1878-1948' with ISBN 9780878559640 and ISBN 0878559647.
