Two well known Euro-skeptics of the 'Islam- is-Peace-and-Love' cult; are Leon de Winter, a Dutch writer and polemicist and Giuli Meotti an Italian journalist. Both have written extensively about the mental aberration, including Jew hate; which informs both Islam and its Leftist supporters. That is one reason amongst many that the Marxist pop-culture is so fond of Islam. They both portray the Jew as nefarious, superior, all-powerful; a communal movement dedicated to world domination. It is a racism wch is deeply embedded in the Arab consciousness or as some would prefer to call them, 'the Palestinians' [a mythical state and people of course]. De Winter recently wrote an op-ed on Meotti's latest book, 'A New Shoah', which details the unknown stories of the Israeli and Jew dead, murdered in 62 years of Arab and Muslim war against Israel. Marxists and Muslims should probably read it. [excerpted, emphasis and comments are mine]
"A New Shoah: The Untold Story of Israel's Victims of Terrorism," is a hard read. Not because it is badly written; it is clear, precise, and eloquent. It is a hard read because it is deeply moving—many times, I had to stop reading and catch my breath, wipe away the tears. Giulio Meotti, an Italian author and journalist, has written a monumental study of pain and grief, of mourning and remembrance, of hatred and love.
The book's title is well-chosen. From the very first pages, Mr. Meotti makes clear that he considers Palestinian terrorism and Arab hatred of Israel and the Jews the continuation of Nazi anti-Semitism. He shows that Palestinian and Arab rhetoric is focused on Jews—not just Israelis. The dream of the Islamists is to destroy the Jewish people, not just the sliver of land called Israel.
[note: Shoah means 'catastrophe' and alludes to a new holocaust.]
This is not a matter of opinion but of facts, which Mr. Meotti's well-researched book provides in abundance. ....
These words move far beyond a conflict about territory—the underlying emotion is genocidal rage. Mr. Meotti's list of murderous anti-Semitism by Palestinian leaders and media is exhausting. ...
[note; Cultural racism demonizing the Jew is endemic in both Islamic liturgy and Arab society.]
Mr. Meotti's other great achievement is to record the stories of the Jews who died as a result of this hatred and preserve their memories. He recalls victims who were trying to lead an ordinary life in a unique country. They were on their way to work, to the market, to see friends when the murderers crossed their paths, themselves dying in the fires they unleashed.
The roll of victims is long. "This is the Ground Zero of Israel, the first country ever to experience suicide terrorism on a mass scale," Mr. Meotti writes, "more than 150 suicide attacks carried out, plus more than 500 prevented. It's a black hole that in 15 years swallowed up 1,557 people and left 17,000 injured."
[note; The above stats are from 1995 until 2010. From 1980 until 1995 more than 3.000 Jews were murdered in Arab Intifada's – all given impetus by Islamic theology.]

This book doesn't dumb down evil. It doesn't try to understand terrorists as victims of their socio-economic circumstances, doesn't miscategorize them as poor or uneducated (they are often middle class) or driven allegedly to despair by the very same people they murdered. No, in "A New Shoah," the terrorists remain what they are, the executors of a hate-filled religious ideology. This is a truth too many Westerners still don't want to hear.
.....In a Continent stuck in denial about both Palestinian anti-Semitism and Europe's own resurgent Jew-hatred, hidden behind the label of anti-Zionism, Mr. Meotti's hard read is a breath of fresh air.
Mr. de Winter is a Dutch novelist. His latest book is "The Right of Return" (De Bezige Bij, 2008).
Some people reject do reject the multi-cultural, politically-correct disease of anti-Semiticism. Many do understand that an ideology which murders, engages in Jihad, is racist and supremacist, and which targets Jews and Christians for extermination is not a 'religion'. A theology which divides the world into 'us' and 'them' and which promotes in its liturgy no less than 165 calls for warring Jihad, by definition rejects an immanent Golden Rule; rationality and Natural Law Rights. This means that we have a politi-cracy, and a cult, not a theology.
No doubt both the Dutch and Italian 'Human Rights Courts' will soon be darkening the doors of de Winter and Meotti, inquiring as to how they came to such a rude and uncivilized point of view about Islam, which runs counter to the prevailing ethos of the state and the really-smart-people. The Italian state, along with Switzerland, went after noted brave-heart Oriasna Fallaci who died 3 years ago, for writing and exposing the truth about Islam. No doubt movements are afoot to silence de Winter and Meotti – along with Geert Wilders and anyone else who dares to challenge the socialist-Marxist orthodoxy about Islam.
