Benny Morris' great contribution to this field was his historical research, especially of Israeli archives. Yes, his research was certainly "original". Have you checked out this review of how Benny handled his source material? Benny Morris and the Reign of Error by Efraim Karsh meforum.org It's quite lengthy. I find it particularly telling when Karsh points out passages where Morris contents himself with quoting out of context when he publishes in Hebrew, but then mistranslates the passages when he publishes in English, and then changes his argument to take advantage of the new translation. ... well over 90 per cent of the village refugees could return to empty sites. In the opinion of the Egyptians, of course. Don't make me laugh. Of course, the Egyptians were so tender-hearted about the plight of the refugees in Gaza (many of whom were Egyptian in origin), that when they held the Gaza Strip from 1948 to 1967, they never gave the refugees citizenship, work permits, or permission to move, but forced them to sit there on the UNWRA dole. Real humanitarians, wouldn't you say? And of course, they refused to take Gaza back in 1979.
