New Historians
The '''New Historians''' are a loosely-defined group of Israeli historians who have challenged traditional Israeli assumptions about Israeli history, including Israel's role in the Palestinian Exodus in 1948 and Arab willingness to discuss peace with Israel. Much of their [[primary source]] material comes from declassified Israeli government papers, partially because Arab institutions lack open archives. The movement includes scholars such as [[Benny Morris]], [[Ilan Pappé]], [[Avi Shlaim]], [[Tom Segev]], [[Hillel Cohen]] and (retrospectively) [[Simha Flapan]]. Many of their conclusions have been incorporated into the political ideology of [[post-Zionism|post-Zionists]]. The political views of the group vary as do the periods of Israeli history in which they specialize.
