The Palestinian Delusion

The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process

By: Robert Spencer

Narrated by: David Colacci

Length: 8 hrs and 53 mins

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.

A MUST READ

An other excellent book by mr. Spencer. To be informed one must read his books. The narrator was a joy to listen to. Thank you!

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.

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.

Great book

He hit almost all the right points a truly must read to understand what Israel and the world is really up against.

Most factual and historical book I’ve ever read

As usual, Robert Spencer basis his books on historical facts. He hits the nail on the head with this book. Sad that the Palestinians don’t want peace but to drive the Israelis out of their ancestral homeland. Jerusalem is not even mentioned once in the Quran so why is it so important to them? Their third holiest site? Jews have ONE holy site. That is the land of Israel, for now and forever.

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!

Background to the conflict

Clarified many misconceptions about the dispute and the need for urgent de radicalisation of the population

Every American should read this

I wish more people would have gave this a listen
Maybe more people could have seen the attacks on the Jews on 10/2023 coming.
