Benny Morris (born 1948) is an Israeli historian identified with the New Historians school, a group of historians who dispute the traditional Israeli view of the origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Known for his work on the history of Palestinian refugees and his refusal to perform reserve duty in the West Bank, Morris was seen as an Israeli sympathizer of the Palestinian cause, and his work was cited and praised by pro-Arab writers. Since the outbreak of the Second Intifada Morris has increased his criticism of the Arab leadership, and has criticized "pro-Arab propagandists" for highlighting certain parts of his work while ignoring others. He has stated that the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the collapse of the 2000 Camp David peace talks were products of Palestinian-Arab decisions.

  • Benny Morris (født 1948) er en israelsk historiker og regnes til de nye historikerne som de senere årene har gått gjennom israelsk historie og kommet til andre konklusjoner enn den gjengse fortellingen om Israel. Han jobber for tiden ved Ben-Gurion Universitetet i Negev og er mest kjent for sine omfattende arbeider om de palestinske flyktningene. Morris ble historiker først og fremst gjennom sitt aktivistiske og journalistiske arbeid. Han skrev i en årrekke for Jerusalem Post, og i 1988 ble han fengslet for å ha nektet militæret. De senere årene har han imidlertid endret sine synspunkter på flere områder. I forskningen sin har han skrevet om fordrivelsen av palestinerne i 1948, og han opprettholder fortsatt sitt synspunkt på at dette var en villet politikk fra de sionistiske lederne, men i dag mener han at problemet var at det ikke ble gjennomført mer konsekvent. Han mener at sionismens legitimitet er hevet over enhver tvil, og forsvarer endog etnisk rensing for å sikre dens mål. I tråd med dette mener han at palestinernes lidelser er deres eget ansvar, og han fremstiller palestinere og muslimer generelt som morderiske og ser Israels rolle i Midt-Østen på linje med korsfarerne hva angår å spre sivilisasjon. For dette har han møtt skarp kritikk fra andre nye historikere, også fordi han, i motsetning til hebraisk kildemateriale, ikke leser arabisk og dermed må støtte seg på annenhåndslitteratur. (no)
