Question

Two historians from this country argued events such as the Armenian and Assyrian genocides should be understood as a single thirty-year genocide of Christians in the former Ottoman Empire. This country’s Alexandroni Brigade sued the author of a Masters thesis (15[1])alleging a massacre in Tantura. A lawyer’s book about this country was attacked on Democracy Now by a man later denied tenure at Depaul for plagiarizing Joan Peters’ From Time Immemorial. A group of historians who challenged the (*) voluntary nature of an event concerning this country’s founding became its “New Historians,” a term coined (-5[1])by Benny Morris. Those historians have argued that Plan Dalet deliberately resulted in the Nakba (10[1])under this country’s (10[1])first leader, David Ben-Gurion. For 10 points, name this country whose historians have analyzed the expulsion of the Palestinians. ■END■ (10[1])
