Book Description :

Every negotiated settlement between the State of Israeand its Palestinian adversaries has failed testablish a stable and lasting peace. This is the history of what was attempted, why those failures were inevitable, and what must be done instead.

Every new American President has a plan tbring about peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and every one fails.

Every "peace process" has failed in its primary objective: testablish a stable and lasting accord between the twparties, such that they can live togetheside-by-side in friendship rathethan enmity.

But why? And what can be done instead?

While this failure is a consistent pattern stretching bacdecades, there is virtually npublidiscussion oeven basiunderstanding of the primary reason fothis failure.

The Palestinian Delusion is unique in situating the Israeli/Palestinian conflict within the context of the globajihad that has found renewed impetus in the latteportion of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first. Briskly recounting the tumultuous history of the "peace process," Robert Spencedemonstrates that the determination of diplomats, policymakers, and negotiators tignore this aspect of the conflict has led the Israelis, the Palestinians, and the world down numerous blind alleys. This has often only exacerbated, rathethan healed, this conflict.

The Palestinian Delusion offers a generaoverview of the Zionist settlement of Palestine, the establishment of the State of Israel, and the AraMuslireaction tthese events. It explores the dramatiand little-known history of the various peace efforts-showing how and why they invariably broke down ofailed tbe implemented fully. The Palestinian Delusion alsprovides shocking evidence frothe Palestinian media, as welas statements frothe Palestinian leadership, showing that negotiations between Israeand the Palestinians wilnevework.

But there is stilcause fohope. Spencedelineates a realistic, viable alternative tthe endless and futile "peace process," that shhow the Jewish State and the Palestinian Arabs can truly coexist in peace-without illusions ounrealistiexpectations.
