Dr. Pipes has alot of factual information, especially on the Palestinians, and Rashid Khalidi. Khalidi was indeed miffed and taken off guard by Dr. Pipes comments, and as usual the truth is never admitted, by Khalidi or any other muslim, instead the game is attack the messenger, and evade the truth.

I truly wonder what his interpretation meant by the Likes of Daniel Pipes, as if he considers Daniel's opinion and status to be so insignificant compared to his views. How egotistical can you get?

Another point is that Israel is a State, who has divine ownership of their land, these Palestinians are just nomads and tyrants, denying Israel's right to live freely in peace on their land, and killing Israel's innocents without strategically trying to attack the government. There will be no peace by Palestinians, who believe their rights are the only ones who should be recognized. This is totally unfair!
