At Last, A Realistic Look at the Israeli-‘Palestinian’ Conflict
americanthinker.com ^ | 12/11/2019 | Pamela Geller

Things are seldom what they seem to be, but we live in an age that is unusual for the dominance that fiction and fantasy have in the public debate about so many key issues. The House of Representatives is about to impeach a successful and popular President on hearsay, innuendo, and outright falsehood; you must believe that men can become women and women men or face vilification and ostracism; and of course if you dare whisper even the smallest hint that Islam is not a religion of peace, even as the jihad body count steadily mounts, your public career will be over and your name ruined. But there is no area of national and international discussion so rife with rigidly enforced propaganda falsehoods than the conflict between Israel and the so-called “Palestinians.” In The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process, the historian and scholar of Islam Robert Spencer clears away the lies.

One man's truth is another man's lie and one man's lie is another man's truth. I haven't read Mr. Spencer's book but pretty sure he's telling what I believe to be the truth. You can erase history but you can't change history.

Both Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer are true heroes in exposing the evil of Islam

Act for America is Brigitte Gabriel’s site. She is an incredible hero exposing the evil of Islam who had to hide for nearly a decade in her childhood as Islamic radicals bombed her village in Lebanon

Correct. If they are vilified by the lame stream they must be on the side of good.

I’ll get a lot of flak, but we shouldn’t be there. World police is not our responsibility. Israel can do what they want.

Jeez, how many times and in how many countries have Ms. Geller and Mr. Spencer been charged and/or “convicted” of so-called “hate crimes” thus far? :P

“... Israel can do what they want...”

Hopefully “continue to exist” is included in that particular calculus. Obviously, I can’t speak for you, but an inordinate number of times I’ve heard that particular statement, it tends to mean something other than it would normally appear.

“We” aren’t there, are we? I don’t think many would support involving ourselves there.

As soon as the name “Jimmy Carter” is associated with an issue I immediately take the other side.

And it turns out to be the right side.

I was very lucky, I got to see Brigitte Gabriel speak at a venue in my hometown. It was very small, but she had a big muscular guy standing near her the entire time. For good reason.

Islamists would kill her in an instant if they thought they could get away with it.

Remarkable woman. Good looking, well spoken, and outspoken, wearing fashionable western clothes, no wonder they hate her.

Her book “Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America” is something EVERY American should read.

the Arab Occupation of the Jewish Promised Land must be ended. let there be a humanitarian repatriation fund and let it be administered honestly and NOT by Arabs/terrorist gangs...with funds not given to anyone until they are definitely returned for sure and resettled properly in southern Arabia, Iraq, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria if safe, Tunisia if safe, Libya where safe, Maylaysia if safe, etc. for all those desirous of making honest lives for themselves thereabouts. Its not just out of Israeli territory, its out of European territories UK USA Canada etc!
they are very very very very very dangerous in civilized societies! very dangerous as is plain for all to see
return them now to their already-Muslim-conquered countries and they won’t get themselves thrown out the next time they launch another major terrorist murder attack on innocent Jews and Christians

same

One mans truth may be true, but another’s lies are always lies. Truth is a constant.

Robert Spencer is one of the most clear thinking commentators on Islam in our culture. This just got added to the reading list...

Not sure how Trump (or any other president ftm) can on the one hand say America needs to get out of the blood soaked Middle East and let its occupants who’ve been fighting each other for thousands of years work their conflicts out among themselves; then on the other hand say America needs to safeguard Israel against other hostile Middle Eastern nations. The two ideas are, on their face, incompatible.

We’re responsible for ourselves and that’s it.
