Academic career
Pappé was a senior lecturer at the Middle Eastern History Department and the Political Science Department of the University of Haifa
The University of Haifa (, ) is a public research university located on Mount Carmel in Haifa, Israel. Founded in 1963 as a branch of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the University of Haifa received full academic accreditation as an inde ...
between 1984 and 2006. He was the Academic Director of the Research Institute for Peace at Givat Haviva from 1993 to 2000, and chair of the Emil Touma Institute for Palestinian Studies.
Pappé left Israel in 2007 to take up his appointment in Exeter, after his endorsement of the boycott of Israeli universities led the president of the University of Haifa to call for his resignation. Pappé said that he found it "increasingly difficult to live in Israel" with his "unwelcome views and convictions." In a Qatar

i newspaper interview explaining his decision, he said: "I was boycotted in my university and there had been attempts to expel me from my job. I am getting threatening calls from people every day. I am not being viewed as a threat to the Israeli society but my people think that I am either insane or my views are irrelevant. Many Israelis also believe that I am working as a mercenary for the Arabs." He joined Exeter as Professor of History, and has been director of its European Centre for Palestine Studies since 2009.
Katz controversy
Pappé publicly supported an M.A. thesis by Haifa University student Teddy Katz, which was approved with highest honors, that claimed Israel had committed a massacre in the Palestinian village of Tantura
Tantura (, ''al-Tantura'', lit. ''The Peak''; Hebrew and Phoenician: דור, ''Dor'') was a Palestinian Arab fishing village located northwest of Zikhron Ya'akov on the Mediterranean coast of Israel. Near the village lie the ruins of the anci ...
during the war in 1948, based upon interviews with Arab residents of the village and with an Israeli veteran of the operation. Neither Israeli nor Palestinian historians had previously recorded any such incident, which Meyrav Wurmser described as a "made-up massacre". According to Pappé, "the story of Tantura had already been told before, as early as 1950... It appears in the memoirs of a Haifa notable, Muhammad Nimr al-Khatib, who, a few days after the battle, recorded the testimony of a Palestinian." In December 2000, Katz was sued for libel by veterans of the Alexandroni Brigade and after the testimony was heard, he retracted his allegations about the massacre. Twelve hours later, he retracted his retraction. During the trial, lawyers for the veterans pointed to what they said were discrepancies between the taped interviews Katz conducted and descriptions in Katz's thesis.
Katz revised his thesis, and, following the trial, the university appointed a committee to examine it. After reviewing the taped interviews and finding discrepancies between them and what was written in the thesis, Katz was allowed to submit a revised thesis.[ Pappé continues to defend both Katz and his thesis.] Tom Segev and others argued that there is merit or some truth in what Katz described. According to the Israeli New Historian Benny Morris
Benny Morris (; born 8 December 1948) is an Israeli historian. He was a professor of history in the Middle East Studies department of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in the city of Beersheba, Israel. Morris was initially associated with the ...
: "There is no unequivocal proof of a large-scale massacre at Tantura, but war crimes were perpetrated there."
In January 2022, Alon Schwarz's film ''Tantura'' was shown at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival World Cinema Documentary Competition. In it, former Israeli soldiers admitted that a massacre took place in 1948 at Tantura. One former combat soldier stated: "They silenced it. The victims of the massacre were buried under what is today the Dor Beach parking lot, in an area measuring 35×4 meters." commented in ''Haaretz

'' that there had been a public debate about the issue, with Yoav Gelber trying to discredit Katz's thesis, while Pappé defended the thesis. Raz said: "With the appearance of the testimony in Schwarz's film, the debate would seem to be decided."
Political views and activism
In 1999, Pappé ran in the Knesset elections as seventh on the Communist Party-led Hadash

By choosing the latter, it can move us forward along the only remaining viable and non-violent road to saving both Palestinians and Israelis from an impending catastrophe."
As a result, then University of Haifa President Aaron Ben-Ze'ev called on Pappé to resign, saying: "it is fitting for someone who calls for a boycott of his university to apply the boycott himself."[ He said that Pappé would not be ostracized, since that would undermine ]academic freedom

, but he should leave voluntarily. In the same year, Pappé initiated the annual Israeli Right of Return Conferences, which called for the unconditional right of return of the Palestinian refugees who were expelled in 1948. According to Pappé, while national movements deserve a state of their own, this principle does not extend to Jews, Muslims, Buddhists or Christians because they constitute a religious group rather than a nation. However, it could possibly apply to Zionists, as a national movement, if that movement did not infringe upon the rights of Palestinians.
In August 2015, Pappé was a signatory to a letter criticising ''The Jewish Chronicle

In an op-ed to Al-Jazeera on 7 October 2024, Pappé argued that terms like "Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas

in the creation of ..the state of Israel". However, Singh did feel that the book assumes the reader has prior knowledge of the Arab-Israeli conflict and thus may be difficult to follow for "those who are not conversant with the facts".
Uri Ram, a professor of Ben-Gurion University, reviewed ''The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine'' for the '' Middle East Journal'' and described the book as "a most important and daring book that challenges head-on Israeli historiography and collective memory and even more importantly Israeli conscience". The same book was reviewed by Hugh Steadman for the ''New Zealand International Review'', in which he called Pappé's book the "definitive record of the caesarean operation by which the state of Israel was born" and "essential reading" for those who wish to see a "peaceful and internationally acceptable Middle Eastern home for Jewish people".
Those critical of his work include Benny Morris
Benny Morris (; born 8 December 1948) is an Israeli historian. He was a professor of history in the Middle East Studies department of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in the city of Beersheba, Israel. Morris was initially associated with the ...
, Efraim Karsh, and activist Herbert London as well as professors and Yossi Ben-Artzi from Haifa University. Morris, in particular, described some of Pappé's writing as "complete fabrication" due to alleged factual errors, and called him "at best...one of the world's sloppiest historians; at worst, one of the most dishonest". Pappé has replied to this criticism, condemning Morris for holding "abominable racist views about the Arabs in general and the Palestinians in particular."
Pappé's approach to historiography has been characterised as post-modernist. According to Morris, "Pappé is a proud postmodernist. He believes that there is no such thing as historical truth, only a collection of narratives as numerous as the participants in any given event or process; and each narrative, each perspective, is as valid and legitimate, as true, as the next. Moreover, every narrative is inherently political and, consciously or not, serves political ends. Each historian is justified in shaping his narrative to promote particular political purposes." In response, Pappé stated that all historians are necessarily "subjective human beings striving to tell their own version of the past" and that he is worried about "moral issues not the natural human follies of professional historians."
In August 2021, following the translation of his book '' The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine'' into Hebrew, the historian published a review in ''Haaretz

'' criticizing Pappé as a historian whose work "suffers from negligence, manipulations and mistakes galore, and the result is not serious research". In the article, Raz presents various examples of "lies", inaccuracies, and the lack of sources for Pappé's various claims, the most prominent of which is the latter's claim that "rape took place in every village," without citing a source, while ignoring publications that contradict this claim, such as Tal Nitzan's study: "Boundaries of Occupation: The Rarity of Military Rape in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict". The title of the article "Selective Reading" refers, among other things, to such a reading of the diaries of Theodor Herzl
