Excellent, thank you! I would like to add that it is no longer just about the Middle East/Israel. In the language of Islam, the religious necessity is a world-wide caliphate: The entire world must become all-Muslims and infidels must convert or die. And they have the validation for their beliefs clearly stated in the Quran.
If Islam and religion is the supreme motivating force driving the Arab world, what is Islam’s Fanatical ‘mirror’ Analogue here in The West? Is it Racism? And the power and horror which is Racial Hatred? I wonder. Certainly Both thrive in their Antisemitism. But The West’s fascination and dalliance with Nazism has proven FATAL. Nazism and German Imperialism and their Militarism murdered upwards of 80 Million White people. And they were the best of the Europeans too. Will The West’s hard-won Modernity defeat Islam? It must do! For the real centre of the World’s Excellence is our unique Rationalism here in The West, which bore the fruits of Enlightenment, given to the rest of the World. And Western Rationalism and Enlightenment is what the survival of the Civilised World depends on.
Outstanding compilation of history of the mandate, religious and political machinations and the explanation for the groundwork of where we are today. The main question is that Christian Palestinians have played a huge role in the struggle. How does the author reconcile that the conflict is just a religious struggle? That would be convenient and useful for Israel as the progressives will eventually see to discard Islam as there is nothing that progressives and Islam agree on except for hatred of Jews, more particularly, Israel.
Gil Carl AlRoy explained much the same thing in 1975 in his book Behid the Middle East Conflict. But your piece is bang-on; to which one could add the internal structure of society in the Arab Muslim world explains much of its depraved behaviour and mindset, especially now that is has amalgamated with the totalitarian mindset of the left in Palestinianism.
It seems to me that Islam will continue to exist in their territories, as "clean" of all non-Muslims as they like them to be.
Our focused goal in the West must be to stop Islam's advance within our own civilisation. This is surely easier said than done, as they reproduce astronomically and Westerners- Europeans majorly, for now- are on a suicidal below population replacement trend.
Evil as it is, Islam exists as the religion of Muslims, and they have a right to their religion, something we understand by our own Western liberal minds, which they themselves don't understand.
But the outrageous rights they demand for their religion should be confined to their territories, which ,by the way ,they conquered by the sword, destroying other cultures, as they are intent in destroying ours. So much for Muslims accusing others of colonialism.
The ones that need to understand the evils of Islam are Westerners , so that we may have the collective will to defend our civilisation. The day Muslims and their acolytes become a European majority ,and by the rule of democracy and law they impose their retrograde civilisation - retrograde is an expression Churchill used- , a European far right might rise and Europe will become, again, totalitarian.
The irony is that the young generation today is already drawn to and primed for totalitarianism, and thus see Islam sympathetically. Whether this occurs as a pendulum genuine reaction to the permissiveness they were raised under and their need for boundaries or the result of Islam's internet and institutional penetration, or both, and/or other reasons, is an urgent matter for us in the West to understand.
This is an extremely insightful essay. It explains why Hamas rejects the two state solution. Because both states would be secular and not Islamic, it’s a nonstarter. It also explains why Westerners still clamor for the two state solution. Because it puts Islam in a box which it doesn’t control. Based on these insights it’s the progressives who are actually the inheritors of colonialism.

Essential reading. More power to Dan Burmawi.

Excellent description of the historical roots of the current "religious" war.

Great job!
