Quotes by James L. Gelvin (?)

“What Zionists did, as all nationalist movements before and since have done, was to read their history selectively and draw conclusions from it that would not have been understandable to their ancestors before the advent of the modern era.”
― James L. Gelvin, The Israel-Palestine Conflict: One Hundred Years of War

“If credit is to be given to anyone for coining the phrase “New Middle East,” that credit should go to Condoleezza Rice.”
