Danish Cartoons: Implications for Israel

Assessing the Danish cartoon controversy and it’s implications for Israel, Manfred Gerstenfield concludes that radical Islam’s “victory” may bolster anti-Israel activity:

The initial success of Muslim violence and threats in the cartoon conflict may embolden the Arab world to increase its threats against the West if it does not pressure Israel to make further concessions.

Many in the Western world deflect Arab pressure by making demands on Israel. As the Muslim-Western conflict further intensifies in the coming years, the scapegoating of Israel is a serious risk.
