Book by Areej Sabbagh-Khoury challenges the common distinction between 'moderate' Zionist left parties and right-wing maximalists, arguing that the Kibbutz movement and Labor Zionist institutions were centrally involved in the colonization of Palestinian land and execution of the Nakba. Drawing on Hebrew-language archives, Sabbagh-Khoury documents how socialist Zionist institutions participated in land acquisition, population expulsion, and the erasure of Palestinian villages. Extends responsibility for the Nakba across the Zionist political spectrum. A revisionist historical study recommended for researchers and students working on Zionist ideology, Labor Zionism's role in the Nakba, and the political responsibility for Palestinian expulsion across the Zionist political spectrum.
