This is an in-depth analytical study that is comprehensive on historical, political, anthropological, and social levels. It addresses one and a half million Palestinians living or barely surviving within the Israeli entity, under its laws and rulings. These are known as the Palestinians of '48. A segment of people or half a population, they face all types of racism and barbarism aimed at their residence, education, mobility, and all civil rights, with the objective of erasing their identity and uprooting their sense of belonging.

In the past six years, all circumstances surrounding these specific Palestinians have been concealed, almost leading Arabs and the entire world to forget their existence and cause. The importance of this book lies in unearthing documents from the archives that reveal these facts with irrefutable evidence. It clearly shows how the Israeli entity enacted seemingly fair laws but applied them selectively, targeting certain groups to segregate, discriminate, abolish, and erase.

This is the boldness of author Ilan Pappé, akin to Noam Chomsky as he enters Israel’s forbidden territories and crosses their red lines, viewing the Arab-Israeli conflict from a new perspective that does not please the Israeli entity.
