Publisher's summary

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 very succinct review of the history of Israel

This information is critical to understanding "peace" negotiations in the Middle East. This is well presented here and very interesting.

Eye Opening

This book was written in 2019 but is eerily true still in 2023 in light of Oct 7. It should be a must read in high schools and colleges.

Great book. Very informative

This is a great read. Cuts through the nonsense propaganda and tells it like it really is. Jihad is the real problem.

Biased, but informative

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

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.
