We speak with renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappé about
his recent trip to the United States, when he was
interrogated for two hours by federal agents upon
arrival at Detroit airport about his political views on
CTaza, Hamas and Israel, as well as demanding to know
whom he knew in U,S, Muslim, Arab and Palestinian
communities, Pappé was only allowed to enter the country
after agents copied the contents of his phone. "They
refused to tell me why they stopped me," he says, Pappé,
author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, also
discusses the Nakba, growing support for Palestinian
rights, and why he believes "the collapse of the Zionist
project" is imminent.
