| | Diagnosing Benny Morris: the mind of a European settler : Melbourne Indymedia |
 | | Morris speaks explicitly of another expulsion, but, in groping for a moral apology for the past and the future expulsion of Palestinians, he presents a more general argument, one that justifies not only expulsion but also genocide. | | | But to reconcile Morris' double loyalty to both Western universalism and to Jewish particularism, one must forget that these two identities were not always on the best of terms. | | | If Israel is a crusader state, and therefore a state with shallow roots, likely to pack up and disappear, it is not the fault of those who make that observation. |

| | Benny Morris's Lies About My Book |
| | But Morris wants to persuade us that this is not the nature of the historiographical debate. | | | In fact, when his ideology changed he guessed they told only part of the truth about the ethnic cleansing and therefore he was willing to be a post-modernist and read into, and outside, the texts. | | | The IDF archives, his shrine of truth, has not written about them, unless they were victims of massacres. |

| | Benny Morris and the Reign of Error - Middle East Quarterly - March 1999 |
| | Morris omits both the beginning of Sharett's presentation, which places his words in context, and the second half of his question (about accepting the situation or fighting it). | | | Tiberias, 19.12—this morning we learnt from the Galileans who came to Tiberias about the bombing of houses in Kasas [in retaliation for a mob attack on a Jewish guard] and there are fatalities: ten dead Arabs, including five children. | | | Not so: as we have just seen, Weitz's published account specifically refers to the departure of the Ghawarna Bedouins, rather than of Bedouins as a whole, and from the Haifa Bay, rather than the Zevulun Valley—precisely as it appears in the original diary. |

| | Middle East Report 230:No More Tears: Benny Morris and the Road Back from Liberal Zionism, by Joel Beinin |
| | The first is in the realm of acceptable speculation; the second is too obviously outrageous to consider. | | | Despite this contempt for the existing Arabic sources, Morris’ position has a respectable professional pedigree derived from the work of Leopold von Ranke. | | | To his credit, Morris corrected himself and unequivocally reported, “Carmel had not told me the truth.”[22] |

| | Benny Morris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the beginning of the book Benny Morris shows a map over empty Palestinian villages, and explains why the villagers left. | | | They wanted for demographic reasons as many Palestinians to flee as possible. | | | He is considered the most influential and prolific member of the New Historians, a group of scholars who have challenged much of the received wisdom of the origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. |

| | Benny Morris's Shocking Interview |
| | One year after the publication of his book The Birth of Palestinian Refugee Problem, 1947-1949, published in 1987, he proclaimed himself a “new historian.” He become the great guru of a small imaginary group appointed by him and including mainly Avi Shlaim, Uri Milstein and Ilan Pappé. | | | Morris basically claimed that all the Israeli historiography that preceded his book and several other writings was completely fabricated, a series of untrue myths designed to serve the Zionist need for legitimacy. | | | And these are facts and not “political correctness” as Morris loves to call any arguments he cannot deny. |

| | Benny Morris' Alamo - Palestine Solidarity Review |
| | The main argument of the book is that the root of this conflict can be found in the ideological differences between the two groups (Zionists and Arabs) over politics, religion, and ethnicity. | | | Morris fails, however, to mention that all of these pre-Zionist colonization crimes were committed against Sephardic Jews (non-white Jews), who are, again, continually to this day persecuted, colonized, and made into second class citizens by their Ashkenazic (white) Jewish brothers and sisters in Israel. | | | This is strikingly apparent in the way that Morris structures his book. |

| | HRA Press Release on Benny Morris interview |
| | However, he went on saying, ‘I am ready to tell you that in other circumstances, apocalyptic ones, which are liable to be realized in five or ten years, I can see expulsions’. | | | Benny Morris, the ‘New Historian’, whose first book The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem (1987), which revealed chilling details about the atrocities committed 1948/49, earned him the label of being a post-Zionist, now claims that some readers simply misread the book. | | | Unfortunately, his view of the Arab citizens of Israel being a demographic threat can no longer be termed extremist, since it is shared by a growing number of members of the Israeli intellectual and political establishment. |

| | In fact, Ben-Gurion welcomed the British idea only to persuade Zionists to accept a tiny Jewish state (and the proposed partition)--but also warned of its inherent dangers. | | | Morris had access to more Jewish and Israeli sources than Arab-Palestinian-Muslim sources, so of course critics can claim that the conclusions are "biased" in some ways. | | | One of his central points is that the very success of Israel as a state has allowed the Palestinians to appropriate the identity of history's victimsAan identity once central to Israelis' view of themselves. |

| | Morris, like many Israelis, has woken up to the fact that their state is threatened by a demographic trend. | | | Yet far from wringing his hands over these new revelations, Morris explained that Israelis, at least, would probably have been better off had they completed the expulsion of the Palestinians from the entire land - the Mediterranean to the Jordan river - in 1948. | | | The champion of the appeasers changed his spots and grew some hardballs. |

| | That really wouldn't surprise me. The Israeli (far) left once considered Morris a guru of sorts, and he's let them down, badly, in too many ways. | | | But in this response to the critics of his interview earlier this month with Ari Shavit, he actually sounds rational and he makes a lot of points worth considering. | | | Whatever you think of Morris generally and whether or not you were shocked by the interview, be sure to check this out. |
