Professor Richard Landes book, “Can the Whole World be Wrong?” documents the inability of Westerners to understand the medieval mentality that drives Global Jihad. That misunderstanding has prompted a series of disastrous misinterpretations and misguided reactions that have contributed fundamentally to the ever-worsening moral and empirical disorientations of the mainstream media.  The press reports Palestinian and Jihadi war propaganda as if official news which fuels distrust and deepens splits within their own western countries  - weakening the ability of democracies to defend themselves. The book cites the example of former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan, who rejected Israel’s denial that it committed a massacre at Jenin in 2002; “I don't think the whole world, including the friends of the Israeli people and government, can be wrong,” said Annan. Landes answer, however, is a resounding; “Yes.” https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/164469994X/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_4?smid=A2XZ7JICGUQ1CX&psc=1 https://theaugeanstables.com/richard-landes-cv/ Get full access to Ilana Rachel Daniel at ilanaracheldaniel120.substack.com/subscribe
