It is NOT an Israel vs. Palestinian problem

Dear Dr Pipes, your reader Dave says that Israel needs leadership that inspires victory. He compares the situation in Israel to ww-II and the cold war and longs for leaders like Churchill and Reagan. I agree with Dave but I would also like to assert that this situation is very different from the situation created by the Nazis or the communists. Both Nazism and Communism were born and died within a century. And, neither tried to be a religion.

The problem faced by Israel is not the Palestinian problem. It is the Muslim problem. The Muslim problem is called the Palestinian problem in Israel. It is called the Kashmiri problem in today's India. In the India of 1940s, it was called the Pakistani problem. The goal of all these problems is to irrevocably grab more and more land for Islam so Muslims never have to make compromises.

We will have to have a leader of the caliber of Churchill or Reagan. And, that leader will have to speak the truth relentlessly until this problem is solved. Islam is a political problem hiding under a religious umbrella. It needs to be exposed worldwide.
