Title: The Palestinian Delusion Pdf The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process
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?
While this failure is a consistent pattern stretching back decades, there is virtually no public discussion or even basic understanding of the primary reason for this failure.
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 twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first. 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. The Palestinian Delusion also provides shocking evidence from the Palestinian media, as well as statements from the Palestinian leadership, showing that negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians will never work.
But there is still cause for hope. Spencer delineates a realistic, viable alternative to the endless and futile “peace process,” that shows how the Jewish State and the Palestinian Arabs can truly coexist in peace—without illusions or unrealistic expectations.
How Islam impacts the Israel-Palestine divide "The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process" by Robert Spencer (Dec. 2019).Some Western politicians and academicians have proffered that the Israel vs. Palestine land "dispute" could be quickly ended if only Israel would abandon its occupation settlements in the Judea-Samaria "West Bank" region and give full independence to a Palestinian nation in control of its own political, economic, diplomatic and military sovereignty. They pontificate that thereby an independent Palestinian state would not feel threatened, would lay down their weapons, and seek "peace" with Israel.But this Polyanish view is dismissed by the author who argues that these Neville Chamberlain-like peaceniks fail to understand that what is causing the peace-rejectionist Palestinians to continuously rebuff peace with Israel: that they are driven by the theological commandants of Islam (in the Quran and ahadith) not to seek peaceful coexistence with the Jews, and thereby a Jewish-oriented independent state of Israel -- which is the overall thesis of this book.Initially I thought this book would be about the author trying to argue that there really are no Palestinian-state people today. Well, there are people living in the "West Bank" ("Palestine") -- but are they really some historical group of Kurds or Rohingya who lack their own country? Currently, those living in the West Bank are predominately Muslim-Arabs, who claim that they desire an independent "Palestine" country.But "Who are these 'Palestinians'?" the author asks. No need to dwell here on the overall history of the Jewish-Israel nation of 1500 B.C., nor of their expulsion by the Romans, nor of the arrival of the interloping Muslim-Arab jihadist invaders in the ninth century. The author briefly relates that history.Palestine was ruled by the Ottoman Empire for 400 years until the end of WWI. During this time the author noted that Palestine was sparsely populated, and while Jews began to make a concerted return to this area after the 1870s -- but they never made a majority of the population even during the 1930s. The author contends that as more Jews arrived in Palestine they provided many new job opportunities that attracted (non-Palestinian) Arabs into Palestine.The author noted that the last legally recognized government of this region was the "British Mandate of Palestine", that had been authorized by the League of Nations. But it collapsed when the British left in 1947, who let the Jews and Muslims fight it out as to who was going to secure what lands they could from the corpse of the Mandate. The UN later recognized the state of Israel in 1948, but never recognized the Egyptian occupation of the Gaza Strip nor the Jordanian seizure of the West Bank.The issue here is that the current "Palestinians" (West Bank) never have had their own independent country. The author notes how Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire, and those residents paid taxes to their Ottoman-Syrian tormentors. The author argues that during the 1950s when the Jordanians occupied the West Bank, and the Egyptians the Gaza Strip, neither Muslim country planned on turning those lands over to some independent Palestinian state for the Palestinians.So who "owns" Palestine today? The author argues that Israel does, as it asserted its governance of the West Bank after Jordan shelled Israeli-held West Jerusalem late on the morning of June 5, 1967 -- several hours after the Israelis had attacked Egyptian military forces, but not any Jordanian forces. The Israelis waited until the Jordanians fired first, then advanced into capturing Jordanian-held East Jerusalem and the West Bank. The Israelis argued that they were taking an area that the British had offered to leave to Israel when the Brits disembarked back in 1947, but was occupied by invading Jordanian forces.The author maintains that only after the Israelis secured these areas did the Arabs begin to demand a right to self-determination and full independence. Essentially, the Arab-Palestinians were a fabricated stateless people (Jordanians) living on Israeli lands that the Israelis could not secure back in 1947.The author recounts the many failed attempts by U.S. presidents to entice Israel's neighbors to recognize the Jewish state of Israel since 1948. No need to recount them in this review.The author argues that the PLO/PA has never sought peace with an independent Jewish state. The author contends that the PLO/PA leaders used the English language to deceive their true anti-Jew/Israel thoughts that they so freely spoke of in Arabic. The author provides many such deceptive talk (taqiyya) in this book.So what does the future hold for "Palestine"? A one-state solution of Israel incorporating (annexing) all of the West Bank? Or some two-state solution that grants some political independence to the Arab denizens in the West Bank? The author discusses the pros and cons of both "solutions". The author argues that the first option would most likely result in the "final solution" of Israel, as the Muslims and their "right of return" relatives would greatly outnumber the Jewish Israelis at the election ballot boxes.The author argues persuasively that as long as the West Bank Palestinians adhere to their (anti-Jew) Muslim religion that "peace in our time" will remain an illusive dream in the foreseeable future. This book eloquently presents the author's assertion that the current Israel-Palestine dispute cannot be understood until one ponders the corruptive influence of Islamic theology on this divisive issue. Sadly, no maps.
