In 1948, a pivotal war unfolded, leading to Israeli independence and the erasure of Arab Palestine. For over twenty months, a multitude of Jews and Arabs from diverse corners of the globe converged on the region, joining the already present forces in the Israel Defense Forces and the Arab Liberation Army. Through their heartfelt letters home, these young men and women vividly brought to life the experiences of their military service, encompassing a wide range of topics such as daily life, nationalism, colonialism, race, and the characteristics of their adversaries. Shay Hazkani presents a fresh perspective on the 1948 War by delving into these letters, emphasizing the individuals caught in the conflict and its far-reaching transnational implications.
Furthermore, Dear Palestine explores the strategies employed by the architects of the conflict to shape and manipulate the ideologies of these ordinary soldiers. By examining battle orders, pamphlets, army magazines, and radio broadcasts, the book sheds light on the gaps between sanctioned nationalism and individual identity. It serves as a poignant reminder that the fears, bravery, arrogance, cruelty, lies, and exaggerations of everyday people hold equal significance in shaping historical events alongside the concerns of elites.
