Ilan Pappe has been a hero of mine ever since I read The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, one of his early acts of resistance against the Israeli government. Its publication cost him his job teaching history at the university in Haifa. He remains an Israeli citizen but is not allowed to speak in Israeli schools or colleges. He is now based at the University of Exeter, where he continues researching, writing and resisting.
