Modern Arab and Muslim hostility towards Jews and Israel is rooted
not only in the Arab-Israeli conflict and traditional Islamic
teaching but also in Christian anti-Semitic attitudes brought into
the Islamic world by Western colonial powers. In this volume,
Raphael Israeli examines how the worsening situation in the Middle
East together with large waves of Muslim immigration to Europe,
North America, and Australia has brought about a comingling of two
anti-Semitic traditions.As the author explains, the unique
interaction of Muslim immigrants in the West with the host
societies brought them into contact with local, traditional anti-
Semites of the xenophobic fascist and racist Right along with the
avowedly anti-Zionist Left, to build a formidable wall of hatred
against the Jewish state and its people. To complicate this picture
further, the same Muslim immigrants share with them minority status
in a Christian majority society. Often finding themselves at odds
with the majority host society, they find themselves subject to
criticism and censure on all sides. They are engaged simultaneously
in battle with both their host society into which they cannot
integrate, and their Jewish compatriots who are a model of good
integration. Consequently, they feel exposed and lose ground in the
struggle for social acceptance.Israeli lays out the nature and
ideologies of the Muslim immigrant world and shows how in each
European country they create their own ethnic sub-groups and
religious communities, often in competition with each other. This
remarkable and courageous book will be of interest to sociologists,
Middle East specialists, and political scientists.
