The Hundred Years' War on Palestine reframes the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a colonial struggle in which outside powers have consistently waged war against Palestinian national aspirations. Rashid Khalidi, the Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University, draws on both historical archives and his own family's experiences across five generations to construct this account. His family's papers, including documents from ancestors who served in Ottoman administration, provide personal texture to a sweeping historical narrative. Khalidi identifies six distinct phases of the conflict, from the Balfour Declaration through the present, arguing that each represented a coordinated assault on Palestinian rights with support from major powers—first Britain, then the United States. He examines key turning points: the 1948 Nakba, the 1967 occupation, the failed Oslo process, and the repeated devastation of Gaza. The book challenges narratives that present the conflict as a clash between two equal parties, emphasizing the asymmetry of power and the consistent involvement of external actors. For readers seeking to understand Palestinian perspectives often absent from mainstream American discourse, Khalidi provides both scholarly rigor and the moral urgency of someone whose own family has lived this history.
