The second declaration of war covers the nakba and the consolidation of Israel as a nation-state mainly through its support by the US and the Soviet Union and its settler-colonizing tactics of ethnic cleansing still used today. Khalidi shows in great detail how Palestinian leadership and the Arab world were totally unprepared for Zionism as such a formidable colonizing power even after decades of British rule.

Everything read so far covering decades of exclusion, massacres, landgrabs, and Israel and the US setting all the terms of any negotiations with little input from Palestinians has led to this genocidal moment the world is now witnessing. Again it is Israel calling the shots, now under the ruse of But Hamas!!! rhetoric. I will continue to be disgusted and enraged by US support of the menace state called Israel.

Already Khalidi has shown how Palestinians—despite all attempts by Zionists and British rule to not recognize them as a people intimately tied to what is now Israel— led to a nascent national identity and a fight for self-determination. (this latter point about there not being a Palestine and thus no Palestinians living in what would become by fiat Israel is a frequent hasbara talking point.)
