ABSTRACT
In several European countries, Muslim groups seek to influence and even to dictate foreign policy. In the late 1930s, Winston Churchill had few supporters when he warned that appeasement of Nazism was a policy for which a very high price would have to be paid. What he called a "terrible transformation" was then taking place in the world. The fate of the Jews of Europe has become linked to the fate of Israel in a way that virtually nobody seems to have anticipated. Today it remains true that, with minor exceptions, the principal threat to European Jews does not emanate from the Right. All over Europe, attacks on Jews, synagogues, and other Jewish institutions followed. A well-researched report by the European Jewish Council has documented the anti-Semitism on display over the thirty-three days of last year's war.
