About this listen

Every new American president has a plan to bring about peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and every one fails. Every "peace process" has failed in its primary objective: to establish a stable and lasting accord between the two parties, such that they can live together side-by-side in friendship rather than enmity. But why? And what can be done instead?

The Palestinian Delusion is unique in situating the Israeli/Palestinian conflict within the context of the global jihad that has found renewed impetus in the latter portion of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. Briskly recounting the tumultuous history of the "peace process", Robert Spencer demonstrates that the determination of diplomats, policymakers, and negotiators to ignore this aspect of the conflict has led the Israelis, the Palestinians, and the world down numerous blind alleys. This has often only exacerbated, rather than healed, this conflict.

The Palestinian Delusion offers a general overview of the Zionist settlement of Palestine, the establishment of the State of Israel, and the Arab Muslim reaction to these events. It explores the dramatic and little-known history of the various peace efforts-showing how and why they invariably broke down or failed to be implemented fully.

Essential reading for all those who wish to understand the Middle East conflict

Well researched with clear statements of facts so often hidden by the media. Extremely enlightening. I am grateful to the writer for giving such a clear understanding of a complex and ongoing problem.

A Comprehensive Analysis of alleged Palestinian Contentions and Claims.

Fantastic and well researched book. A clear exposure of fallacies in pro Palestinian arguments. I would love to see a counter argument to this book. However the events of October 7, 2023 have merely reinforced and reconfirmed the issues presented in this book. Excellent book and highly recommended.

Excellent sobering analysis

It is a great book to get the essence of this current conflict in focus in ones mind.
if you "stand with" either side, it's best to acknowledge the facts. You can react to those facts in different ways but the facts are stubburn things.
Great book, it should be required reading before people comment on X or news sites..

A Learned Interest

Good history of the turmoil in this area of the world. Honestly truthful when it concludes that there is no solution to the conflict between religions and their followers. You can believe in a God but religion is man made and control by man.

Biased, but informative

Interesting book that tells a very different story than the official narrative in Europe

Reality

I am an Arab and I can confirm that this book hits the reality! Yes! Jihad and peace can’t exist together. They teach children in our countries to hate Jews… the west as well ! It’s an eternal struggle that will last till the end of days. Mosques breachers repeat such things every Friday! It’s astonishing how most people in the west are oblivious to this! There will be no peace! Israel needs to be strong enough to defend itself and stop giving concessions!

The Real Facts

This book lays out in cold hard facts, regarding,history, religion and money, why the Conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs will not be settled in our lifetime. It highlights not only the delusion of the Palestinians but more importantly the delusion of those Westerners who believe this conflict can be settled where one side inculcates hate and death towards the other.When Arabs and Muslims stop teaching Jew hatred and agree to abandon their goal to destroy Israel there could be peace.However this is unlikely. All the talk and duplicity by the Palestinian Arabs is worthless.Any concessions by Israel, even a Palestinian state,is nothing but part of the ultimate goal to destroy Israel as the only Jewish state in the world.
