There is a popular belief among Americans, and particularly among Christian Zionists, that the territory of historical Palestine rightfully belonged to the Jewish people because of their ancient connection to the land. Many even believe hoax claims such as that Arabs only started populating the area in a wave of mass immigration to take advantage of the economic development from Jews returning to the land in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; that no such place as “Palestine” ever really existed; and that the idea of a “Palestinian” people is a modern invention.

A historical tour de force that demolishes the myths and taboos that have surrounded Jewish and Israeli history, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a new account of both that demands to be reckoned with.
