History Upside Down: The Roots of Palestinian Fascism and the Myth of Israeli Aggression (1594031924) - Reviews and Prices
In the United Nations, on university campuses, and among a growing number of our most prestigious Western newspapers, the historical record has been rewritten so thoroughly that Israel is seen as the worst of the oppressive Western occupiers of the Third World. So successful has this propaganda campaign been that Palestinian spinmeisters and their apologists have effectively declared the Israelis, a people living in the shadow of the Holocaust, to be "Nazis." How could this happen? How did unacceptable anti-Semitism morph into justifiable anti-Zionism, and odious Jew-hatred turn into a politically correct Israel-hatred?
In History Upside Down, David Meir-Levi exposes the ideological DNA of Palestinian nationalism and its ludicrous "alternative" histories, revealing how Nazi fascism gave the Arab world's amorphous hatred of the Jews an intellectual structure and how Soviet communism masked its genocidal intentions with the mantle of national liberation. Meir-Levi then explodes the cornerstone myths that the Palestinian movement created--myths that rationalize and celebrate decades of unremitting terror and genocidal ambitions, turning the history of the Middle East upside down and inside out, making the victim the aggressor and the aggressor the victim.
History Upside Down is the first wave in a counterattack against this Arab war on history. It rejects the idea that the basic situation in the Middle East has changed since the United Nations first established the Jewish state and the Palestinian state that would have stood alongside it. Sadly, argues Meir-Levi, the issue in the Middle East is today what it has been since the Muslim invasion in the seventh century: the Arabs' hatred of the Jews.

Great Summary of 20th Century Israel/Palestinian Conflict:
Abba Eban, Israel's erstwhile UN ambassador, once said, "The Palestinians have never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity." David Meir-Levi's book, History Upside Down, details why this has been the case. Palestinian misery has been primarily the result of theirs and other Arab states' duplicity. Instead of helping their Palestinian brothers, other Arab nations have used them as "cannon fodder" against Israel. While Israel has attempted to reinstate displaced Palestinians, surrounding Arab states... more info
Here we go again with the spin:
So what do you expect from a Zionist author other than this book that is filled with blatant lies and transformations of truth? The Israeli spin machine and its masters from Alan Dershowitz to Daniel Pipes to the whole gang are busy justifying the immoral and abject Israeli occupation and terrorizing of the Palestinians. However, they will never succeed no matter how hard they tried. This book is just another rubbish that gets created that is not even worth skimming. For all the spin masters, remember... more info
Awesome book!:
This is a must read book to get to the real truth about the Arab-Israeli conflict that has been going on for centuries. It just so happens that in this century the propaganda machine in the media has turned the world upside down. Hope we can get right side up again.
A MUST READ!!!!!!!:
Especially for a christian zionist like me. This book is easily read in a day; most of the content was not too new or unexpected for me. One of the main points that most people do not realize is that the jews agreed early on in allowing the palestinian arabs to have their own land. This was stipulated in the UN resolution which allowed the creation of the state of Israel alongside that for the arabs. It never materialized because the arabs never ever tolerated the notion of the jews having their... more info
