A declaration of war against the West

"Israel is a democratic oasis of Western values in a desert of backwardness and dictatorship," the Dutch right-wing populist politician Geert Wilders and his party colleague Martin Bosma write in the Dutch daily De Volkskrant. "Israel is no longer popular in Europe. This is a consequence of the emergence of a Muslim electorate. ... The destruction of Israel is right at the top of the political shopping lists of many Muslims. ... The Arabs also perceive the existence of Israel as a daily insult. A handful of Jews is making this country which under Islam was no more than an unsettled piece of desert bloom. ... The war against Israel is not a territorial conflict. ... In truth it is the jihad. 1,400 years ago, war was declared against us in the desert of Arabia - against the West and against Israel. ... What could work is to find a solution outside Israel. The Arab nations are well-positioned to take in the Palestinians from the 'occupied areas'. Migration to Arab countries is a logical and desirable move."
