5.0 out of 5 stars Exposes the Hidden Hand that Keeps the Arab War Against Israel Alive
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2014

I gave this book a five-star rating because it enables the reader, finally, to understand how the greatest hoax of the 20th century—the myth of the Palestinians and the alleged theft of Arab land by Israel—has been sustained all these years. In this clearly written and well-documented work, author Bat Ye'or pieces together the Euro-Arab Dialogue (EAD) and the many subsequent activities, groups and commitments that European nations, led by France, embarked upon with the Arab League following the oil crisis of 1973. For Europe, the main motivations behind its embrace of the EAD were to forge an alliance with the Arab world that could counterbalance U.S. power on the world stage and ensure uninterrupted access to Arabian oil. For the Arab League nations, this powerful alliance would give it access to Western technology, science and learning. It provided for the mass immigration of people from the Muslim nations of the Middle East and North Africa into Europe, where they would be welcomed as equals in their new countries, while having their traditions, culture and religion recognized and respected. Key to the EAD was Europe's pledge to help destroy Israel. The enemies of Israel put in a lot of time and effort to portray Israeli soldiers as Nazis and to portray Israel as a vicious state. Eurabia unveils Europe—host of the Holocaust—as a craven, unrepentant, Jew-hating entity, desperate and immoral enough to join the psychopaths of the Muslim Middle East in their hate-based campaign to eliminate the Jewish state. Read Eurabia, and understand what all the hysteria from Europe and the Arab nations is about, each time Israel takes steps to defend its people and its land. Understand, also, why Kerry and Obama are so hot to trot to squeeze Israel to sign an agreement with people who have yet to fulfill a single obligation from any agreement they've ever signed with Israel. Bat Ye'or's Eurabia is fascinating, infuriating, depressing and eye-opening. I put off reading this book for years, but that was a huge mistake. For anyone who cares about Israel, if you haven't read it yet, I urge you to read it now.

5.0 out of 5 stars "It Rings Old Bells..."-Bat Ye'Or
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2005
Verified Purchase
Very ancient ones indeed. As ancient as 600 BCE. Read the biblical book of Daniel, chapter 7 in particular. The enemies of G-d are those kingdoms which conquered Judea so that no Davidic king would or has ever rule(d) again in Israel. (Christians believe Christ is a descendant of David through His earthly, foster, jewish parents and who will return again to reclaim His kingdom and His people). The kingdoms described in chapter 7 are arabic-Persian and Babylonian, and european-Greek and Roman.

In chapter 17, "Eurabia Against America", Bat Ye'Or discusses why many european leaders and media spokespersons have become so Anti-American, Anti-Israeli, and pro-Islam. America, under George W. Bush's leadership has clearly responded strongly against Al-Qaeda, the terrorist forces behind the World Trade Center attack in 2001 and many other terrorist attacks throughout the world. Bat Ye'Or quoted one French spokesperson for the Paris Foundation of Strategic Research who had called for a break with ties to the U.S. and expressed some sympathies with Al-Qaeda. And upon that thought she asks the question "Are we to understand by this that Europe, unable to fight terror, should seek protection by siding with al-Qaeda? It rings old bells..." That there has been political maneuvering by some europeans at the expense of the Israelis has been documented in this book too, but to my mind comes evidence from Israel's long time, former defense minister, Moshe Dayan's autobiography where he talks about the many crises Israelis faced pre and post May 14, 1948. French President Charles de Gaulle aided Nasser's Egypt indirectly by denying the Israeli's the ammunition they had bought from France because the French didn't want Israel to start a war, and yet the Soviets were at that time readily pouring arms into Egypt as early as 1967 and which continued in Egypt and places like Syria up until 1973 when the horrific, but fortunately brief Yom Kippur War was waged.

That there has been active collaboration of peoples within these regions of the world, Eur-abia, on various projects inimical to the welfare of the free, western world, is quite, quite obvious. The Great War, WWI, was a result of Kaiser Wilhelm, inflaming parts of Europe and the muslim world against, primarily Great Britain where his cousin, King George V ruled. The Germans had initiated a railway, funded by the Deutsche Bank to link Berlin to Baghdad as early as 1903. The German Kaiser approved of the many massacres of Armenians throughout the late 1800's and early 1900's which culminated in the most infamous of massacres, the Armenian Genocide of 1914-1917 which resulted in the deaths of one million plus persons which of course was merely a prelude to what happened in Germany from 1933-1945 which culminated in the Shoah, the Holocaust which resulted in the deaths of six million plus persons, as we all know. See books like The High Walls of Jerusalem by Ronald Sanders, Peter Hopkirk's Great Game series, Peter Balakian's The Burning Tigris.

This book is Bat Ye'Or's latest book and of all her books, it is the most contemporary one, most relevant to events happening in the world today. However, her other books lay the foundation for not only this book's contents but for understanding how the world of Islam operates, particularly with relation to other peoples like jews, christians, hindus, etc. who have been conquered by Islamic forces. In this book, she examines how europeans have responded to events such as those in Lebanon in the 1970's and 1980's. "While the PLO and its allies preyed on the Lebanese christians, wiping out whole villages, desecrating and burning churches, murdering and mutilating corpses (as at Damur in 1976), Europe was supporting Arafat." Hmm. And the PLO, Hamas, and Al-Qaeda are the most militant and rabid groups of muslims that exist in the world today. And to my knowledge are the ones readily flocking to Gaza and southern Lebanon, which used to be populated mostly by christians, to terrorize innocent Israeli civilians, like the Orthodox jewish man who was stabbed to death just a few days ago. It seems to me that we should all be very wary of not only who we support but of who we believe and should think very carefully of ways we can not help those who destroy. Isn't that what anti-terrorism is all about???

Islam is a struggle, one that will never end until the end of days. In my mind, you will never convert me. If you know anything about me, you'll understand what I mean by that. I've learned so much about Islam and early christian history from reading Bat Ye'Or's few books. One sentence which I underlined in Jacques Ellul's Foreword to her book The Decline of Eastern Christianity Under Islam, states quite truthfully, "the Jihad is an institution and not an event...it is part of the normal functioning of the muslim world." I must admit, I do tend to think of it as an event as that of September 11, yet the struggle on an ideological plane goes on all of the time which Bat Ye'Or documents quite scholarly all throughout this book; the many conferences and commissions that have been held by muslims and/or europeans can be found in the Appendices. Also, Peter Balakian's book The Burning Tigris speaks of Islamic influences on Universities and Colleges in America. I found also very informative Bat Ye'Or's 16th chapter entitled "The Islamization of Christianity" which is also not a recent phenomenon nor is Eurabia. Anyway, Eurabia is definitely a MUST READ. Highly recommended.

(However, I must clarify, Bat Ye'Or makes it clear that not all europeans or arabs are anti-Israeli, pro-Islam, or anti-American, but for the most part, those speaking the loudest, within the media and political circles, tend to reflect these Nazi-esque attitudes. Also, in response to another reviewer, about American, evangelical or protestant support for Israel, one finds extremely strong support or the direct opposite, but for the most part, because these groups of people put much stock in the biblical narrative believing it is G-d's very words, I think the support is strong. G-d's covenant with Abraham is that He would bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you. Also, a fellow christian told me many years ago, that the jews are usually the first groups of people to warn and notify christians when severe persecution is going on in far reaches of the globe, and his words I think have proved true time and time again).

It's always interesting for me to go back to these older books on my shelf to see how their warnings or predictions panned out over the intervening decades. Sadly, this one was right on the money. One need only look at north-west Europe (particularly the UK and nordics) to see how this is currently playing out. If you haven't read this yet, by this point it serves as an explainer for how "we" got here, its warnings having gone totally unheeded.

5.0 out of 5 stars Der große Verrat an Europa

Seit den 70er Jahren erhalten Millionen von Muslimen die Gelegenheit zur Einwanderung nach Europa, ohne auf europäische Normen und Werte verpflichtet zu werden, in den Staaten der EU wird ein offizieller Palästinakult betrieben bei gleichzeitiger Abwertung Israels, europäische Schulbüchern beschwören den Mythos des (nicht so) goldenen arabischen Zeitalters in Andalusien, und in den Medien wird eine Konditionierung der europäischen Bevölkerung zu verständnisvollen Dhimmies vorangetrieben. Alles Zufall? Das Buch von Bat Ye'Or ist ein Augenöffner für jene, die nicht an Zufälle glauben. Detailliert beschreibt sie die Stadien der Hinwendung der EU zu den Positionen der arabischen Liga.
Nicht-Historiker werden von den im Buch beschriebenen Resolutionen, Konferenzen und interparlamentarischen Ausschüssen wahrscheinlich noch nie gehört haben. Das ist politisch auch so gewollt. Mit blumiger Brüsseler Rhetorik wird der Ausverkauf Europas an ein immer weniger fiktives Eurabien übertüncht, über hunderte kleine Zahnräder werden die seit den 70er Jahren getroffenen EU-(Fehl-)Entscheidungen ins öffentlichen Leben in Europa übertragen. Nach der Lektüre dieses Buchs erscheint das Dilemma des heutigen Europa in einem ganz anderen Licht.

5.0 out of 5 stars EU-Islamic alliance? Or future conflict?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 14, 2008

Eurabia describes how the EU and its various earlier incarnations believed that in order to acheive super power status, the EU would have to do two things. Firstly, would be to secure oil and gas to power itself. Secondly, it would need a ready supply of cheap labour. The Arab/Muslim world across the Med was seen as the perfect source for both.

Bat Yeor contends that this project was strongly led by the French, who felt that they had unique influence in North Africa, and who also felt that they would be the country that could dominate an EU-North Africa Union, and Sarkozy's recent remarks about a Mediterranean Union seem to suggest that this is still the view of opinion makers in France.

Yeor holds that Euromed was/is short sighted on several important fronts. Firstly, the Arab countries demanded (and got) that Muslims have an absolute right to immigrate into European countries without having to integrate. The result was the creation of dangerous "no-go" areas, where radical preachers could roam with impunity. The second result was that the Arab countries also demanded (and also got) the European nations distance themselves from the US and Israel, thus breaking the "Western" world up and making it weaker.

Yeor also holds that the Andalusian period in Moorish Spain is being used as historical justification for this Euromed idea by the European media and political elites. The EU elite often describe this period as a model for a multicultural, enlightened co-existence between Muslims and non-Muslims. Yeor describes this as historical revisionism of the worst kind, and lists a number of atrocities that the Moorish carried out in Andalusia.

The book is not without weakness. Perhaps prime amongst them is the fact Yeor often quotes, sometimes at great length from original Euromed policy documents, which can be rather droning. This is especially confusing in light of the large appendix section of the book. The book is also rather long, and feels a little repetitive at times, possibly because Yeor's own personal frustration bubbles over in her writing.

All in all, this is a must read for anyone interested in the relationship between Islam and the West, especially in the European Union.

After having read so many books on Islamic theology, history and politics (and continually seeing Bat Ye'or's Eurabia mentioned) I was amazed on receiving Eurabia reading the contents page; almost every chapter has spawned a complete book in itself by different authors, such is the richness of Bat Ye'or's writing. I wanted almost every sentence and every line to written IN BOLD so that people would get it.

Open this book on almost any page, and the way Ye'or ties history together will make you understand different historical events with a revelatory clarity.

Eurabia deals with France's desire, in being left out of the agreements between Britain, America and Russia post WWII, to create a separate empire consisting mostly of former Islamic French colonies in order to challenge America economically. This later turned into the Euro-Arab dialogue and now encompasses all major European countries.

But far from being a cultural exchange in order to better relations with the Middle East, it has become just a lobby for Arab Islamist countries to forward their covert jihad agenda (as fully revealed in Koranic texts), the centre piece of this manipulation of public opinion is conveying Islam as victims of the "demonic" America and Israel.

It is quite obvious that both parties of the Euro-Arab dialogue are using each other to their own ends, and the European politicians ignorant of history and with a disregard of antisemitism, allowing a devastating fate to befall on us all.

Reading Eurabia right after Dore Gold's " Hatred's Kingdom: How Saudi Arabia Supports the New Global Terrorism " (which highlights Saudi Arabia's unique version of Islam (Wahabism) and its central role in creating, financing and nurturing terror world wide) everything made sense to me. Eurabia is simply another front, another part of 'the calling' to Islamise the world. With Saudi Arabian petro-dollars and European politicians devoid of any backbone, this mad proposition is becoming a reality.
