      The narrative centers on the PLO Research Center's significant role in shaping the Palestinian Liberation Organization's understanding of Zionism and Israel. Following the 1982 Israeli invasion of West Beirut, the Center's library, rich in materials on Judaism and Zionism, was seized, prompting international protests highlighting the threat to Palestinian culture. Jonathan Marc Gribetz chronicles the Center's journey from its founding in 1965 to its expulsion in 1983, examining how its research influenced the PLO's perspective on its adversary.
