Also from FPM, Bat Ye'or writes that Europe is awash in a cult of "Palestinianism", and it needs to enlist Islam in it's anti-American agenda.
Like it or not, Americans must face a new reality: Europe's evolution from a Judeo-Christian secular and free civilization to a continent imbibed by a new political and religious cult: Palestinianism. This cult is vital for Europe's security; it permeates the culture, academia, universities, the churches, the unions, the media, even the fashion industry, and all aspects of political life. For over thirty years, it has been injected in every sector of European society by the European Commission's supra-national power and unifying policy. The European Commission is the executive body that advises, directs, influences and monitors the same unique agenda, the same ideology, the same political correctness over all the European populations.

The goal was Israel's suffering, bleeding, isolation, demonization, vilification and robbery of its identity and history through Palestinianism.
