Dear Sir/Madam
I attended the meeting at Tel Aviv University immediately after the launching of Prof Sand’s book.
The Forum consisted of most of the fine minds of some of the best historical minds at Israeli Universities.
It was fascinating and informative, however, not one of the other professors accepted Prof. Sand’s hypothesis and were able to argue with him from a point of view of historical facts and deep knowledge on the subject.
Prof.Sand,I suspect wrote this book to raise eyebrows and interest which is perfectly acceptable but he himself admitted to inserting his own personal political bias which distracted(my opinion) from the purity of his professed theory.
