Line 113: ==== Shlomo Ben-Ami ==== [[Shlomo Ben-Ami]], a historian and former Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs, praised Morris' book ''The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited' (~~2004~~2008)''. He called it "the single most important work on the thorniest moral and political issue underlying the Israeli-Palestinian conundrum" and suggested it is likely to become "the most definitive study of the first Arab-Israeli war."<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal \|last=Ben-Ami \|first=Shlomo \|date=September 1, 2008 \|title=Review: A War to Start All Wars: Will Israel Ever Seal the Victory of 1948? \|url=https://www.foreignaffairs.com/reviews/review-essay/2008-09-01/war-start-all-wars \|journal=Foreign Affairs \|volume=87 \|issue=5 \|pages=148-156 \|archive-url=https://archive.ph/SmOc4 \|archive-date=November 21, 2018}}</ref> However, Ben-Ami criticised Morris' drawing of an "awkward symmetry" between the [[1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight\|Palestinian refugee crisis]] and the "[[Jewish exodus from the Muslim world\|forced emigration]]" of Jews from the Arab world. Like [[Benny Morris#Yoav Gelber\|Yoav Gelber]], he was also unconvinced by Morris' characterization of the 1948 conflict as an Islamic Jihad.<ref name=":2" />
