L’historiador Ilan Pappé (Haifa, 1954) és tan respectat internacionalment com blasmat a Israel, l’estat d’on és ciutadà. Nascut en una família jueva, la seva ha estat una lluita de dècades per desmuntar els falsos mites sobre la creació i l’establiment de l’Estat d’Israel. No li ha tremolat mai la veu a l’hora de denunciar l’opressió que viu la població palestina i ha defensat les campanyes de boicot acadèmic i econòmic contra Israel. Per les seves posicions, ha rebut pressions i amenaces de mort, fins al punt de decidir marxar a l’exili l’any 2007. Viu a Anglaterra, on és professor de la Universitat d’Exeter i director del Centre Europeu d’Estudis sobre Palestina. El seu darrer llibre, Breve historia del conflicto entre Israel y Palestina (Capitán Swing, 2025), és una guia per capbussar-se en la naturalesa colonialista de l’escenari actual.
