PROFESSOR ILAN PAPPÉ was born in Haifa in 1954 and graduated from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem in 1979 and completed his PhD at the university of Oxford, Britain in 1984. Pappé was a lecturer in the department of political science at the University of Haifa from 1984 to 2006 and was forced to leave due to his support for the Palestinian cause. He was also at that time the director of the Emil Touma Institute for Palestinian Studies in Haifa (2000–2006).

Since 2007, Pappé is the director of the European Centre for Palestine Studies at the University of Exeter, Britain. He is the author of 20 books, among them The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine and On Palestine with Noam Chomsky.
