The '''New Historians''' are a loosely-defined group of Israeli historians who have published histories of expulsions of Palestinians by Israel in 1948, expropriations of Palestinian property, and/or campaigns of [[ethnic cleansing]] by Israel in and around 1948.  Much of their [[primary source]] material comes from declassified Israeli government papers. The movement includes such scholars as [[Benny Morris]], [[Ilan Pappé]], [[Avi Shlaim]], [[Tom Segev]] and (retrospectively) [[Simha Flapan]]. Many of their conclusions have been in incorporated into the political ideology of [[post-Zionism|post-Zionists]]. But while some of the New Historians hold dovish political views, still others hold or held conservative views, themselves supporting expulsions.
