The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process Paperback – 20 Nov. 2023

This book sticks to the historical facts. It cuts through the subtle and not so subtle antisemitic tropes constantly repeated in the media.The so called ‘West Bank’ was historically called Judaea and Samaria after the Jews and Samaritan peoples who lived and still live there. It was when the illegal annexation by the Jordanian invasion in1948 happened that the occupiers from Jordan, renamed it to remove its Jewish identity. Israel recaptured it in 1967. Legally in international law an army may recapture its own sovereign land.It is a fact that the Romans coined the name ‘Palestine’ in a bid to eradicate the Jewish identity - Israel.The Romans deliberately ‘latinised’the name of the Jews arch-enemies the ‘Philistines’ as an insult to the Jews. So Israel was renamed Palestine by the Romans and they called the Jews ‘Palestinians’.Of course the Jews threw off these insulting labels as soon as they could in 1948, they used the name Israel again as they were no longer directly oppressed. Page 95 shows how the modern non-Jewish ‘Palestinians’ are an appropriation of the disused Jewish ‘Palestinian’ identity for propaganda purposes - admitted by PLO and others. Prince Hassan of Jordan stated that “Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine” an admission that the two-state solution was already implemented in 1948 when Trans-Jordan was given to the ‘Palestinian’ Arabs. This was created by giving them 77% of the land that had been allocated to the Jews - and the Jews agreed! This was in addition to the newly created Arab states of Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. Obviously, any land allocated to the Jews was unacceptable and still is, to some. This book explains how modern Israel came to be and the machinations of those who seek to destroy it and ethnically cleanse the area of Jews - ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.’A great history book spanning the history of modern Israel and why it is constantly attacked by terrorists, propagandists and media vitriol. Shows how weak and naiive US President Carter et al were and how the US and the West has been hoodwinked by the delusions of the ‘pro-Palestinian’ lobby. A work showing just where the real injustices are, to a World that is only interested in condemning those who have been real victims since Roman times - the Jews.A must read for anyone who wants to know what has been going on behind the distorted headlines of the media and the false facade of ‘Palestinian’ victim hood supported by Iran and its terrorist proxies to annex more (or all the…) land from the Jews.

Well supported with citations you can follow up. Tells a blunt and sad truth about what's really happening. Recommended if you want to get past the propaganda extremists tout.

Always good to study and grow in the knowledge of History itself, Which cunning man would try to ignore and twist the Historical and true facts and lead many astray with falsehood and attempt even to re=invent their own deceiving versions, Of His Story ! which is exactly what the word History really means. The Creator,s Story truth un wavering, never changing, Let God be true and every man a liar.

As above. In my research on Israel and Palestine I find most general public (including me) had no idea what this was really about.Media doesn’t help at all. In fact I find only sensational bias .i recommend anyone to research into why countries are really behaving with so much hate and aggression. Welcome to the human race.

A must read for anyone who wants to know the truth, there is so much ignorance out there regarding the palestinians , who they actually are and to whom the land really belongs to, an eye opening book for anyone who wants to get to the facts of the matter. Robert Spencer certainly know his stuff.

This book needs to be read and absorbed by readers of all status, nationality, religion, and intellect to crush the hateful damaging lies that have battered and ostracized the world's only Jewish state since its inception. Before it is too late!

Robert Spencer’s book on the Palestine problem is an eye opener to anyone who wants a non-politically correct view of the conflict and the “actual” reasons behind it and why it has inflamed tensions in the region, continuously for 75 years (when Israel was created). The history he explains in the book has certainly given me a lot of insight into what has happened for the last few hundred years in the region, the evolution of Zionism, why it was necessary and why a peaceful resolution will always be elusive.

Great Seller. No problems.
