By Steve KramerKFAR SABA, Israel — I attribute much of the animus towards Israel, Israelis, and Jewish citizens around the world to the apparent ‘open borders’ policy of so many European countries. This is at least partly responsible for the turn against Israel by most Western European states, from Finland to Portugal to Italy. “Radio Europe published a comparison of reported rape cases in four European countries between 2000 and 2023. My question is, How has the appreciation of Western European culture been so diminished by such a relatively small percentage of the population? Yet, their influence over government policy is relatively minor, while in Europe Muslim influence is much greater than their numbers would predict.
