The new book by the outstanding Israeli historian Shlomo Sand is a continuation and development of his famous scientific bestseller “Who and How Invented the Jewish People,” in which the myth of the existence of the “eternal” Jewish people was dispelled. In the book “Who and How Invented the Land of Israel” another Jewish myth is revealed - about the Land of Israel, and at the same time the true nature of the modern Arab-Israeli conflict. The author demonstrates how the Holy Land was turned into a Jewish colonial "mother country" from which the local population had to be expelled at the first opportunity. Having revealed the true roots of Zionism, Sand flawlessly dismantles the concept of the “historical right” of Jews to the territory of Palestine and finds a clear answer to the most important pressing question: how to cut the Middle Eastern Gordian knot.
