After relative calm since the 1973 Yom Kippup War, Arafat re-ignighted with his Intifadas and it grew from there because the West was too PC. Israel stopped the murderous so-called Palis from blowing up their cafes, weddings, market-places, buses, et al on a weekly basis with a wall.
After Israel moved out of Gaza and the Palis destroy anything Jewish and continued to attack, I believe they should have just wiped them out - world opinion and collateral damage be damned. We did it with Germany and Japan, and I'm glad we did.
I’m certain that there have been countless books written on this and I, like you, haven’t read them.
There is something in my gut that suggests there are thousands of documents held in both the US and British archives that have drawn a conclusion on Islam and were instrumental in developing our policy of containment.
Conclusions that weren’t influenced by Political Correctness but by the facts.
Conclusions that were 100% correct.
