suicidal disdain for the interests of western civilisation."
"If Israel’s defences crack, it will be another
milestone in the slide from a liberal civilisation into a new dark,
totalitarian age dominated by bigotry, misogyny and intolerance."
What it's really about:
"The baleful force of anti-Semitism is central to this aggressive Islamist ideology."
