Ella Spang’s Reviews > The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917–2017 > Status Update

About halfway through, though most of the technical aspects are going over my head the overall ideas are lingering

SC242 UN declaration/ Israel keeps territory acquired in Palestine but gives up territory gained in recent conflicts

Revival of Palestinian Nationalism in the face of Israel reaching peace agreements with nearby Arab states

soviet union + egypt vs United states + saudi arabia and israel

Arab states too weak to properly support a nationalist Palestinian movement/myth of 7 arab armies/Israeli Military forces outnumbered any palestinian or arab cause

King Abdullah of Jordan was interested in acquiring Palestine for Jordon, not a Palestinian state/He was assassinated by a supporter of Hajj Amin al-Husseini the mufti of Jerusalem and father of Palestinian radicalism.

“In any case they had very few good choices in the face of the powerful triad of Britain, the Zionist movement, and the League of Nations Mandate.”
