The New Historians ((ヘブライ語:ההיסטוריונים החדשים), ''HaHistoryonim HaHadashim'') are a loosely defined group of Israeli historians who have challenged traditional versions of Israeli history, including Israel's role in the Palestinian Exodus in 1948 and Arab willingness to discuss peace. The term was coined in 1988 by Benny Morris, one of the leading New Historians. According to Ethan Bronner of ''The New York Times'', the New Historians have sought to advance the peace process in the region.〔Bronner, Ethan. ("The New New Historians" ), ''The New York Times'', 9 November 2003.〕 Much of the primary source material used by the group comes from Israeli government papers that were newly available as a result of being declassified thirty years after the founding of Israel. Benny Morris, Ilan Pappé, Avi Shlaim, Tom Segev, Hillel Cohen, Baruch Kimmerling and (retrospectively) Simha Flapan are counted among the "new historians." Initially dismissed by the public, the New Historians eventually gained legitimacy in Israel in 1990s.〔 Some of their conclusions have been incorporated into the political ideology of post-Zionists. The political views of the individual historians vary, as do the periods of Israeli history in which they specialize. ==Main arguments== Avi Shlaim described the New Historians' differences from what he termed the "official history" in the following terms. According to Shlaim:
Pappé suggests that the Zionist leaders intended to displace most Palestinian Arabs; Morris believes the displacement happened in the heat of war. According to the New Historians, Israel and Arab countries each have their share of responsibility for the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Palestinian plight.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Historians」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
