The Palestinian Delusion

The Palestinian Delusion

Author: The Christian Research Institute August 29, 2024 Duration: 1:41:40
The people of Palestine are caught in the crosshairs of the only significant religious system in the history of the human race with a sociopolitical structure of laws that mandate violence against the infidel.  While much has been made about the state of Israel and the several shades of Zionism that play a role in its complicated history, it is impossible to accurately assess the Israeli-Palestinian conflict without understanding the most important factor of them all—Islam. 
 
While there are people of other faiths (such as Christians) that live in the land called Palestine—I have close, personal friends among them—the majority of the people occupying this territory are Muslims and all of the citizens of Gaza are led by Hamas, a militant Islamic organization with connections throughout the Islamic world that undoubtedly and unabashedly desire the destruction of all Jews along with the death of America and ultimately the West. This cannot be overstated and any intentions of a peaceful resolution to this conflict are in direct contradiction with the ideology of Islam—most notably Jihad against the infidel.

Make no mistake—in a time of civilizational crisis—Islam is at the heart of this clash of civilizations.
 
In times like these, where honest information is in short supply, it is imperative that lean on the counsel of experts in our pursuit of discernment, which is precisely why Hank Hanegraaff is joined by Robert Spencer, one of the worlds leading experts on Islam, to discuss what he deems “The Palestinian Delusion.”
