What does it mean when the most prominent platform for Israeli strategic thinking is discussing the issue of "Islam in Europe" as part of its list of "strategic threats"?

The events of this week's 15th Herzliya Conference give us an impression of the trends dominating the thoughts of those drafting Israeli strategies. On Monday, the conference held a discussion titled "Islam and BDS in Europe: A Strategic Threat". For Islam and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign to be classified as a threat to Israel's interests in Europe, it means that the nervous officials in Benjamin Netanyahu's government believe that they have to launch a fierce campaign to incite people against this growing trend in global civil society. Observers are left to guess the form in which the new incitement campaigns will be launched against Islam in Europe. There has already been heavy defamatory propaganda by pro-Israel lobby groups for years against Muslims and pro-Palestinian activism.

Considering Islam in Europe as a strategic threat to Israeli interests, in the naïve manner witnessed in the Herzliya Conference programme, perhaps helps us to understand some of the political alignments occurring over the past five years. The far-right in Europe, its radical parties and populist leaders, have made a historical reconciliation with Israel. Israeli officials have welcomed numerous party leaders who are accused of being anti-Semitic. Some have even expressed their understanding of the construction of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, while others even wore the Israeli army uniform when on the borders of the large prison called the Gaza Strip. As a result of this reconciliation, a mutual political discourse was formed which conveyed the message that Israel is defending Europe and Western civilisation against Islam.

We can assume, therefore, that certain Israeli trends have found an opportunity to emerge in light of the great fear in Europe over extremist groups, especially ISIS. These trends are now presenting themselves as allies of the West in this "clash of civilisations". Of course, this is at the expense of the Palestinians' inalienable rights.

There are important details to consider in this regard. For example, during Israel's attack on Gaza last summer, its propaganda justified the heinous acts committed by the Israeli army against Palestinian civilians on the basis of fighting "radical Islam". The Palestinians in the enclave and ISIS, which emerged from Iraq and Syria, were grouped together. On a number of occasions, Israeli diplomats distributed materials that were anti-Islam and anti-Muslim before withdrawing them hastily when challenged by protests in Ireland and Sweden, among others.

After the Charlie Hebdo incident in Paris, senior Israeli officials' words matched those of the far right-wing in Europe. The Israeli government, which involved itself in the aftermath of the incident, gave the impression that it was seeking to incite Europe against its Muslim citizens by means of their statements and clear implications.

What needs to be said is that these "strategic" trends are not doing Europe any favours. Instead, they are counting on splitting the ranks within Europe's multi-ethnic and multi-religious communities and spreading hatred therein. This has been adopted by Israel's new allies on the far-right who are professionals at provoking panic in order to gain votes. Instead of classifying the Muslims in Europe as a strategic threat, the Israeli strategists and their friends around the world who attended the Herzliya Conference should have looked into the consequences of following such a radical right-wing ideology, as the Israeli government currently does, even when this contradicts the logic of history.

Islam is a threat to the usurers - who sell/buy money as an item of merchandize. Islam is a threat to the International Banks, MNCs and profiteering without ethics. Zionist/international Jewelry thrives on usury.

Seems like the only place benefiting from ISIS is Israel....No Muslim individual, no Muslim nation (coz the Middle East buys people/ benefits who cares what they think or sponsor) ....and Israel doing this is just pushing people to become protective and prob like how many CHILDREN went to defend it and got radicalized Israel's move is just leading to positively feeding ISIS with more potential recruits!

Israel existence is dependent on portraying Islam as enemy other wise their internal conflicts and other issues will make sure they are defeated.

The Jihadi threat to Europe is well known since many decades. Eurabia is a term coined many years ago. You don't need the Jews to tell this to Europe. The Europeans are already aware of the threat..
Islam has attempts to subjugate Europe for over 1300 years.. What is happening now is nothing new, only the tactics have changed..
There are over 548 Jihadi wars were fought between Europeans and Islamic empires, 200 of them in Spain alone.

People don't see Islam as enemy because of Israel, they see because of Islamic Muslims.

Notice the horse $hit being peddled by Muslims here that ISIS is helping Israel and is agaisnt Muslims.

These people's conspiracy theories never end! Just like how 9/11 was a jewish conspiracy

The only people suffering because of ISIS are non-Muslims, the Muslims are having a gala time taking yazidi slaves and selling them.

 

[Metanoia]

Israelis consider Arabs as their enemy...and vice versa. Barring that the only reason they've serious problem with Iran is due to the mad-mullahs and with Pakistan due to a good segment of Pakistanis being mindless slaves (literally).

It's all about "person-to-person", when you know a couple of odd guys on the block really hate you and are willing to hurt you you won't really have good feelings towards them regardless of their faith. Israel do tend to get along with Turkey and some other countries in the region with Islam as the dominant faith.

Otherwise I would say Israel won't have any such issue with Islam...Islam is a religion and stuff...not an ethnicity.

Contrary. Israel just wants a small piece of land. Islamic countries on the other hand use Israel as a rally point against Jews all over the world.

Anti semitism is inherent in Islam.
Muslims are OK with Jews living as dhimmis, but they cannot accept Jews controlling their own country, that too in the middle East.

 

[VCheng]

Why blame anyone else? It is the followers of Islam themselves that are creating the threat by their actions, whether in Europe or anywhere else. It is only natural for those being threatened to respond.

 

[Azizam]

It's a threat to every sane human being regardless of where he/she lives not just to Europe.

Europe created Israel they supported and are supporting Israel in its murderous campaign against people of Palestine.

All sane and civilized societies will respond in counter-acting this menacing threat, rest assured.
