Benny Morris (; born 8 December 1948)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Morris, Benny 1948– )〕 is an Israeli historian. He is a professor of history in the Middle East Studies department of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in the city of Beersheba, Israel. He is a key member of the group of Israeli historians known as the "New Historians," a term Morris coined to describe himself and historians Avi Shlaim and Ilan Pappé. Morris's work on the Arab-Israeli conflict and especially the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has won praise and criticism from both sides of the political divide. He is accused by some academics in Israel of only using Israeli and never Arab sources, creating an "unbalanced picture".〔Shlaim, Avi. "The Debate about 1948", ''International Journal of Middle East Studies'', Vol 27, No. 3 (1995), pp. 287–304.〕 Regarding himself as a Zionist, he writes, "I embarked upon the research not out of ideological commitment or political interest. I simply wanted to know what happened."〔Morris 2004, p. 3.〕 ==Biography== Morris was born on 8 December 1948 in kibbutz Ein HaHoresh, the son of Jewish immigrants from the United Kingdom.〔Shavit, Ari.

(Israel Revisited ), ''The Washington Post'', March 11, 2007〕 and Sadie Morris, a journalist. According to ''The New Yorker'', Benny Morris "grew up in the heart of a left-wing pioneering atmosphere".〔 His parents moved to Jerusalem when Morris was a year old. In the wake of his father's diplomatic duties, the family spent four years in New York when Morris was nine, and another two years there when he was 15. Morris served in infantry, including in the paratroops, during 1967-1969. He was wounded in 1969 by an Egyptian shell at the Suez Canal, and was released from the army four months later. He completed his undergraduate studies in history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and received a doctorate in modern European history from the University of Cambridge.
