The Inconvenient Truth

One of the best books I’ve read. Will absolutely stick in the craw of all Arab apologists

Difficult to review this sort of book

A very interesting, well written, well read, well researched but ultimately one sided take on a complicated topic. It cries out for and deserves a riposte.

A very heterodox analysis

Robert Spencer has his critics, but he has written an absorbing account of the history of the Palestine region.

To give Spencer his due he cites a lot of sources, if they are accurate he poses a lot of uncomfortable questions that deserve answers.

Not a huge fan of the narration, but there was enough meat in this account to keep me listening.

Elephant in the room

Clearly explains why there will never be peace when one side is so intolerant and spins the truth for religious gain. Excellent book. Thank you

Grim Truths

Not many will like this book. Because much of what he says is true. Destructive delusions or realistic resilience.

Debunked ; Full of Myths and Misinformation

This book is a provocative exploration of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that seeks to challenge mainstream narratives. Only after 2 hours of listening to this book I concluded that I can’t keep listening to this bundle of lies. While the book aims to offer a critical examination of the historical and political complexities surrounding the conflict, it ultimately falls short due to its reliance on misinformation and skewed interpretations.

Spencer's work is characterized by a selective use of evidence and a tendency to cherry-pick facts that align with his predetermined conclusions. Throughout the book, he presents a series of anecdotes, anecdotes, and anecdotes that paint a one-sided picture of the situation, disregarding the nuanced realities on the ground.

Moreover, this book is marred by its propagation of falsehoods and unsubstantiated claims. Spencer frequently cites questionable sources and perpetuates myths that have long been debunked by scholars and journalists. By uncritically repeating these inaccuracies, the book undermines its own credibility and fails to provide readers with a reliable understanding of the conflict.

Furthermore, Spencer's portrayal of the Palestinian people is often dehumanizing and reductive, reducing them to mere caricatures of violence and extremism. This approach not only perpetuates harmful stereotypes but also overlooks the legitimate grievances and aspirations of millions of individuals living under occupation or as refugees.

In conclusion, while "The Palestinian Delusion" may appeal to those already predisposed to a particular ideological viewpoint, it ultimately fails to offer a substantive analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Readers would be better served by seeking out more nuanced and well-researched perspectives that engage with the complexities of the issue in a thoughtful and balanced manner.

Biased Garbage

No wonder Robert Spencer was barred from entering the UK in 2013 by the UK Home Office if this typifies his considered thoughts on a multifaceted and complex problem full of nuance. Good science does not start with a conclusion and then go about finding any and all evidence to support such a premise ... but this is exactly Spencer's modus operandi. Looking for some additional historical context behind the latest terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas, I simply could not listen past the end of the first chapter. Worthless junk that appears to wilfully and knowingly contribute to the age-old conflict, not help resolve it through understanding and considered unbiased analysis.

I also found David Colacci's presentation turgid yet boringly lacklustre, a difficult combination!

Unashamedly Biased by somone who is Anti Muslim

Robert Bruce Spencer is an American anti-Muslim author and blogger! Having listened to 2 chapters of him quoting the Quran out of context to support his clear hate of Muslims i bailed on this. I wish i had researched the auther before i started this as i would never have gone near this had i done so. If you are looking for a well balanced listen by someone with a good understanding of the Middle East then avoid this as it is utter tripe.

The one good thing to come out of listening to this is that it has inspired me to actually read the Quran and form my own opinion. Remember, the Bible has been used to support alsorts of atrocities.

Very biased and one sided

To get a better understanding of the current conflict it would be better to read the work of Ilan Pappe.
