Explores the history of Palestinian collaboration with Israelis - and of the Arab resistance to it. This book focuses on the system of collaborators established by Israel in each and every Arab community after the 1948 war.
"A fascinating story. . . . With the publication of this book, we can abandon several accepted clichés."-Ha'aretz
"While many Israelis-Jews and Palestinians alike-already had a sense that these shadowplays were part of the state's history, Aravim Tovim (Good Arabs) supplies the evidence. Case after case is summoned to illustrate how collaboration permeated all aspects of Palestinian society."-The Nation
"The impressive achievement of this timely book is its equal and honest treatment of the explosive issues involved in spite of an often agonizing conflict of interests-and its articulation of the author's findings with empathy, boldness and fairness."-Jerusalem Post
"Highly recommended."
