"Exhilarating . . . How often can you say about a harrowing, unquiet book that it makes you wrestle with your soul?" --Neel Mukherjee,The Times (London) It's 1948 and the Arab villagers of Khirbet Khizeh are about to be violently expelled from their homes. A young Israeli soldier who is on duty that day finds himself battling on two fronts: with the villagers and, ultimately, with his own conscience. Published just months after the founding of the state of Israel and the end of the 1948 war, the novellaKhirbet Khizeh was an immediate sensation when it first appeared. Since then, the book has continued to challenge and disturb, even finding its way onto the school curriculum in Israel. The various debates it has prompted would themselves makeKhirbet Khizeh worth reading, but the novella is much more than a vital historical document: it is also a great work of art. Yizhar's haunting, lyrical style and charged view of the landscape are in many ways as startling as his wrenchingly honest view of modern Israel's primal scene. Considered a modern Hebrew masterpiece,Khirbet Khizeh is an extraordinary and heartbreaking book that is destined to be a classic of world literature.… (mer)

Beskrivelse fra Israels grundlæggelse og de første overtagelser af de arabiske landsbyer beskrevet af en af de deltagende israelske soldater. Knugende. ( )

It's not KK, it's me: that this book is wise I can agree with absolutely. That it is "still-shockingly wise," as the blurb suggests, is a little bit much. Turns out the Israeli occupation wasn't and isn't all that noble a thing. The prose was decent, but not so good that it took me away from the obviousness of the rest of the book. I'm glad this was written, that it's still in print, and that people are reading it. But I think I just expected too much. ( )

Et dokument fra 1949 skrevet af en israelsk soldat og forfatter, som beskriver israelske soldaters indtagelse af en arabisk landsby og fordrivelse af befolkningen. Forfatteren føler sig magtesløs, skønt hans samvittighed martrer ham. Smukt sprog med mange billeder. ( )

Khirbet Khizeh is an Arab village in the newly formed state of Israel, designated to be cleared by Israeli forces, made uninhabitable, and its occupants exiled. The novel, originally published in 1949 and written from an Israeli soldier's perspective, it was only recently translated from Hebrew. While nearly seventy years since the birth of the Israeli state and the genesis of this story, it expresses a fundamental tension that still exists: a many-times exiled Jewish people find themselves doing the same unto another group. It's a short, thought-provoking read, told by someone who understands the stress, the fear, the boredom, and the conflicts that can arise between duty and conscience in service to the state. I can't speak to the quality of the translation, but I can say it's expressed beautifully in English. The NYT book review intrigued me enough to read it http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/22/books/review/khirbet-khizeh-by-s-yizhar.html ( )

An anomalously lovely account of the evacuation of a Palestinian village by young Israeli soldiers largely unaware of what they are doing to other people's lives. It is connected in various ways to My Happiness Bears No Relation to Happiness: a Poet's Life in the Palestinian Century by Adina Hoffman, about Israeli Arab poet Taha Muhamad Ali. ( )

Series: RereadingPrevious | Next | Index Rereading: Khirbet Khizeh by S YizharIn his novella of the 1948 war, the Israeli writer S Yizhar sought to preserve the memory of the Palestinian nakba. Jacqueline Rose on a haunting tale that still stirs intense controversy

Near the beginning of Khirbet Khizeh, the extraordinary 1949 novella by S Yizhar, the narrator describes the dangers, to a soldier, of thinking: "we knew that when the thoughts came, troubles began; better not to start thinking." Khirbet Khizeh is a tribute to the power of critical thought to register the injustices of history. It is published by Granta this month in its first full English translation, first issued by Adina Hoffman for Ibis editions in Jerusalem in 2008. Khirbet Khizeh tells the story of the expulsion of Palestinian villagers from their home and land during the 1948 war that immediately followed the founding of the Israeli state: the war of independence or liberation, as it is referred to in Israel; for the Palestinians, the nakba or catastrophe. By the end of it, 750,000 Palestinians had become refugees. This story, this moment, is, to say the least, still controversial. In July 2009, Israel's education ministry announced that the term nakba, introduced two years previously into Palestinian-Israeli textbooks, was to be removed on the grounds that its use was tantamount to spreading propaganda against Israel. In May last year, a law was passed – widely termed the "Nakba Law" – that withdraws government funding from any group judged to be "acting against the principles of the country", which includes the commemoration of the nakba. The law effectively criminalises the right of the Palestinian people to remember..
