April 6, 2018 -- Palestinian-Israeli conflict is in part a clash between historical narratives.


According to Matthew Brodsky, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is not just a dispute over land, territory, and security.  It is a clash between historical narratives.  Since the 1990s, Palestinian textbooks have presented a historical narrative that at times boarders on myth and mere human imagination.  It is a “fabricated history” Brodsky argues that is not without “contradictions.”
