Benny Morris, Ilan Pappé, Avi Shlaim, Tom Segev, Hillel Cohen, Baruch Kimmerling and (retrospectively) Simha Flapan are counted among the "new historians." Initially dismissed by the public, the New Historians eventually gained legitimacy in Israel in 1990s.

Avi Shlaim described the New Historians' differences from what he termed the "official history" in the following terms.[4] According to Shlaim:
Pappé suggests that the Zionist leaders intended to displace most Palestinian Arabs; Morris believes the displacement happened in the heat of war. According to the New Historians, Israel and Arab countries each have their share of responsibility for the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Palestinian plight.[5]
