Allerede i 1995 tegnet Sara Roy et bilde av den økonomiske tilstanden for folket i Gaza. Da hadde hun allerede studert utviklingen i Gaza siden 1985. For å beskrive den israelske politikken overfor folket på Gazastripen introduserte hun et nytt uttrykk ... "De-development" i sin bok fra 1995: "The Gaza Strip: The Political Economy of De-development"
I den siste ajourførte utgaven fra 2016 skriver forlaget: "In the final edition of Roy’s ground-breaking work, she argues
that Gaza’s trajectory over the last 48 years has reconstructed the
territory from one that had been economically integrated and deeply
dependent upon Israel and strongly tied to the West Bank, to an isolated
and disposable enclave cut off from the West Bank as well as Israel and
subject to ongoing military attacks."
Sara Roy er ansatt ved Harvard. Fra beskrivelse av henne der: "Dr. Roy began her research in the Gaza Strip and West Bank in 1985 with a
focus on the economic, social and political development of the Gaza
Strip and on U.S. foreign assistance to the region. Since then she has
written extensively on the Palestinian economy, particularly in Gaza,
and on Gaza’s de-development, a concept she originated."

Netanyahu Told Jordan Peterson Arabs Expelled Jews From the Land of Israel – Historians Say He Is Distorting Facts
In
2015 Netanyahu corrected himself after falsely claiming Hitler decided
to exterminate the Jews only after he met with the former mufti Hajj
Amin al-Husseini during World War II

Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier this month in an interview with Jordan
Peterson in Canada that the Arabs dispossessed and kicked out the Jews
from the Land of Israel after they conquered the area in the seventh
century C.E.
A number of historians Haaretz spoke with
denied these claims and said Netanyahu's claims are 'amusing', and they
misrepresent and distort history.
In an interview on Peterson’s podcast conducted two weeks ago, Netanyahu spoke about his version of the history of the Jews in the Land of Israel.
"For
the first two millennia of their 3,500-year history, the Jewish people
have lived in the Land of Israel, fought off conquerors, sometimes were
conquered but stayed on their land,” said Netanyahu. “The loss of our
land actually occurred when the Arab conquest took place in the seventh
century.”
The
Arabs did something that no other conqueror had done – “they actually
started taking land from Jewish farmers. They brought in military
colonists that took over the land and gradually over the next two
centuries the Jews became a minority in our land. So it is under the
Arab conquerors the Jews lost their homeland," said Netanyahu. "The
Arabs were the colonialists and the Jews were the dispossessed natives,"
he added.

Throughout the interview, Netanyahu repeated the narrative that the
Arabs expelled the Jews from their historic homeland, and used a number
of different words to describe it, including: expelled, dispossessed,
kicked out, and threw out.
Historian Dr. Milka Levy-Rubin of the
Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies, who specializes in the early
Islamic period in Israel, said Netanyahu’s statements are “a mistaken and distorted picture” of history.
Prof. Yehoshua Frenkel of the department of Middle Eastern history at
the university of Haifa said: “His words are amusing, like a time
capsule from before World War I that was forgotten on the shelf.”
Netanyahu
made a number of mistakes during the interview: First, he ignored that
the Jews had been exiled and suffered from foreign invasions a number of
times throughout history before the Islamic conquest. “As for earlier
periods, of course during the First Temple period the 10 tribes were
exiled from the land, and let us not forget the Babylonian exile, too,”
said Levy-Rubin.

“As for the Second Temple period and the Bar Kokhba revolt
– the Romans ‘only’ destroyed the temple, burnt down Jerusalem and
emptied the entire land of Judea of its Jewish residents. Moreover –
they imposed a sweeping ban on Jews entering Jerusalem, a ban that was
left standing until the end of the Byzantine period,” added Levy-Rubin.
She also completely rejected Netanyahu’s
claims about the Islamic conquest of the land of Israel: “I am not
familiar with any sources showing the exiling of Jews or others from the
land during the Arab conquest or of any testimonies of such an
expulsion. There is no archaeological evidence that points to
destruction or devastation, [in fact] the opposite.”
Frenkel
reinforced what Levy-Rubin said and explained that the victory of the
Arab tribes over the Byzantines and the growth of Islam did not cause
devastation. Not a single archaeological site has signs of destruction
and burning, but in fact many testimonies from Eilat to the Golan
Heights show continuity, he said.
“At the time, the Muslim interest was to
continue and conquer and levy taxes from the local residents. At the
first stage of the conquest the Muslim conquerors already preferred
generous capitulation and surrender offers over fighting,” added
Levy-Rubin.
Not
only did the Arabs not expel the Jewish residents, but Frenkel says
“the Muslims are the ones who allowed the Jews to return and live in
Jerusalem, and the Jews were even [allowed to participate] in the
building of the Dome of the Rock, and it seems that in the could also participate in the ritual and service there in the early stages, and they had great influence on the Muslims during the period of the conquest and for decades afterward,” said Frenkel.

Because of the agreements with the occupiers, the residents could remain
in place and continue to run their lives as they had until then,
"including their religious rituals – without any limitations", said
Levy-Rubin. At the same time, these agreements allowed those who wanted
to leave to do so along with their property. Only in later periods, from
the eighth century and on, were various regulations enforced gradually,
which restricted the lives of the non-Muslim population in the public
sphere.
Netanyahu also said the Arabs kept the land
barren and empty, a “wasteland,” and built just a single new city –
Ramle. Levy-Rubin said this claim is distorted too.
The
Umayyad Caliphate (from 661 to 750 C.E.) invested a lot in the land of
Israel. “First and foremost in Jerusalem – we all know the mosques on
the Temple Mount, but also in a lot more places they invested in
development, including in Tiberias, the Hebron Hills region, the Negev,
and of the course the coastal strip where the Muslims encouraged
settlement.”
Netanyahu
quoted famous travelers to the Holy Land during the podcast, none less
than Mark Twain, who described the land as “a vast wasteland” and
“barren” before the Jews returned.

“The fact that the land [of Israel] in general was settled sparsely does
not prove anything. There was a continuity of Muslim settlement since
the conquest,” said Levy-Rubin. In the interview, Netanyahu attacked the
Palestinians for distorting and misrepresenting history, and said it's
quite amazing that none of the facts he put forward in his books “has
ever been challenged… I make an effort to be very rigorous about the
facts,” he said.
Frenkel added that Netanyahu lectures
without getting into or spending too much time on complex facts, but
reality is much more complex and not one-dimensional.
In
2015, Netanyahu also distorted other periods of Jewish history, when he
said Hitler decided to exterminate the Jews only after he met with the
former mufti Hajj Amin al-Husseini during World War II. After drawing
criticism, Netanyahu corrected himself.
Earlier
this month, Netanyahu said former U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt
said “over my dead body” when he was asked why he would not bomb
Auschwitz during the Holocaust. In this case too, historians said he was
distorting reality and proposing an alternative reality.
