Robert has a point here

Dear Dr Pipes,

To some extent, I agree with Robert on his opinion about an Israeli victory over (the so called) Palestinians. An enemy is defeated only if either they accept the defeat or they are so completely destroyed that no one lives to tell the tale. An example of the former occurred when Japan accepted defeat in the 2nd world war. An example of the latter occurred when Muslims fully and completely annihilated the Zoroatrian/Persian civilization in Persia.

Muslims are always a phantom enemy. They never accept defeat and keep reinventing themselves with different names. Whereever a Muslim exists between Vladivostok and Anchorage (via London), an enemy of Israel lives.

How can we ever defeat Palestinians? To defeat Palestinians, we will have to change Islam. That should be our goal.
