“The Palestinian-Israeli conflict will come to an acceptable conclusion only with a Palestinian sense of defeat.” So says, historian Daniel Pipes who has spent his career studying, educating, and writing about the Middle East, Islam and foreign policy. He started the Israel Victory Project many years ago as a means to finally resolve the conflict and convince the Palestinians to end their war against Israel. Recognizing that only when the Palestinians end their rejectionism can they build a polity, economy, society and culture that can live side by side with the Jewish homeland, Pipes has been the lone voice putting forth this common sense and historically-supported strategy. In his 19th book, Israel Victory: How Zionists Win Acceptance and Palestinians Get Liberated, Pipes explains the strategy of how Israel can achieve the victory it so desperately has sought since its founding. We are honored to have the esteemed Daniel Pipes join us for a discussion on how to achieve a final end to the conflict – especially in a post-October 7th world.
