In The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process, Robert Spencer methodically walks us through all the reasons to see that the Palestinian/Israeli conflict is a religious war. Anyone willing to see daunting, tragic truths, might feel urgently impelled – after reading The Palestinian Delusion – to yell at the dreamers and peace processors, “Wait: It’s a jihad, stupid!”
Spencer’s voice, though, is calm and scholarly. (The book has 26 pages of Endnotes.)
He goes, in my view, a bit too easy on the Israelis who willfully ignored the evidence of the “holy war” in front of their eyes. Perhaps, as a sympathetic and admiring Christian friend, Robert Spencer senses that a people who dragged themselves out of the ovens of Auschwitz just could not bring themselves to think that they wound up in a frying pan.
Then again, one would think they should have been done with wishful delusions.
Named by the Forward as one of America’s top 50 Jewish leaders, Charles Jacobs co-founded the Boston branch of the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America. He also founded the American Anti-Slavery Group and co-founded The David Project.

Robert Spencer’s The Palestinian Delusion: “Wait: It’s a jihad, stupid!”
…………………
That’s *exactly* what it is, but many don’t appear to recognize this.
I just received Robert Spencer’s book today, and can’t wait to read it.

Charles is from our area and he is a hero. He and his organization have participated in purchasing the freedom of slaves in Africa. They were, of course, attacked for this by UNICEF. Perhaps some of the 56 Islamic nations (plus the Fakestinians) in the U.N. objected to interference with their Allah-given “right” to enslave the kafirs. He an other heroes up here in Marxachusetts have also incurred the wrath of leftist rabbis for educating the public about the dangers of Sharia.

The Arab Israeli conflict appears entirely inexplicable and insane until you understand what Robert Spencer reveals in his book. It is just another Muslim Jihad of endless conflict.

Precisely. And once you “get” that it is jihad you know that all the ‘peace processing’ in the world is a total waste of time.. not only in ‘the middle east’ but in every other location where Muslims are waging war upon non-Muslims – notably the ongoing aggression by Muslim Pakistan against India (and Muslim aggression within Indian Kashmir; jihad would not stop if Kashmir in its entirety were carved off and given to Pakistan, because Jihad did not stop when the Muslims got both Pakistan and Bangladesh – the rampantly fertile and well-watered Indus and Ganges river valleys, the ‘plums’ of India – to be exclusively for Musslims), the ongoing aggression by Muslims against Buddhists in southern Thailand, the ongoing aggression by Muslims against Catholic Filipinos in Mindanao, the ongoing aggression by Musilm ‘herders’ against Christians in the north and middle belt of Nigeria and in Central African Republic. Everywhere: jihad. WAged by much the same methods. NO ‘agreements’ or ‘treaties’ will work; and any concessions or accommodations made by the non-Muslim side, will simply be pocketed by the Musilms, and then the jihad will continue, with the Muslims all the stronger.
