Details
- Pappé introduces the instance by noting that the Second Aliya did very little for the Palestinians, in his account, whereas the first wave at least offered employment on exploitative terms, and yet the sense was that Palestinians were ungrateful; that sense, he writes, is the point made today by Karsh (PDF p.14-15).
- Cited in note 34: Ephraim Karsh, Palestine Betrayed (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2011) (PDF p.20 / printed p.58).
