Palestine Hijacked

Featuring newly-declassified documents from British state archives, Palestine Hijacked explores how violence and terror were used to transform Palestine into a Zionist settler state.

The Israel-Palestine "conflict" is often understood to be a clash between two ethnic groups?Arabs and Jews?inhabiting the same land. What this book proves is something quite different: the violent take-over of Palestine by a European racial-nationalist settler movement, Zionism, using terror to assert by force a claim to the land that has no legal or moral basis.

Thomas Suárez' shocking account details a litany of Zionist terrorist acts against anyone in their way?the indigenous Palestinians, the British who had helped establish Zionism, and against Jews who disagreed with the Zionist agenda, carried out or supported by the same leaders who then established and led the Israeli state.

Suárez has uncovered documents in the British state archives, many revealed here for the first time?secret internal papers of terrorists' own accounts boasting of their successes, contemporary intelligence briefings, secret diplomatic correspondence and British CID reports?which establish beyond doubt that far from being isolated atrocities by rogue groups, the use of terror to acquire and keep Palestine for the Zionists was deliberate and sustained. It is a story that continues today with the violence employed by Israel to sustain its regime of Apartheid against the Palestinians and continued expropriation of their country.
