Antisemitism, multiculturalism, and ethnic identity
International conference
From Europe to Eurabia
Bat Ye’or
The characteristics of current Judeophobia in Europe are very different from previous types of antisemitism. If I was to define it without fear of words, I would call it a Euro-Arab political and theological replacement doctrine of a genocidal character whose purpose is to replace the State of Israel by Palestine. Certainly, the European States have never ceased to reassure Israel on its “safe and recognised” borders, as if the 1949 armistice lines were safe; and as if the European Community (EC) had not financed and supported Arafat and the PLO and legitimised them on the international stage since 1974. Their aim was peace – peace with Arafat which meant without Israel. It is Europe that has internationalised, justified and sanctified the “Palestinian cause” - that is, the vilification of Israel.

In other words, the European Community used an Orwellian double-speak reminiscent of the Auschwitz saying: “Work makes Free”. In fact, the purpose of the EC’s Arab policy – subsequently followed by the European Union (EU) – was to delegitimise Israel, and neutralise its self-defence through incitement to hate and defamation. However, one can observe some improvement since the consecutive international conferences on antisemitism and the publicity given – notably in the USA – to its resurgence in Europe. Nonetheless, one should be wary of over-optimism for the phenomenon is closely linked to the strategic, political and economic contingencies of Europe’s Arab and Muslim policies; to the changed demographic pattern of Europe due to Muslim immigration; and to the disintegration of Europe’s identity. As we see it now, Europe is desperately looking for a way to continue funding the Palestinians whom they have always championed, in spite of their vote for Hamas. Read the rest on: Atlas Shrugs
