Europe Won't Publish Pro-Israel Books

More evidence of anti-Semitic Bias in Europe.

In our previous post, the EU Observer noted that despite investigating fraud in the PA, the MEP couldn't reach agreement about the strength of the evidence.

Evidence under discussion
The accusations to the Palestinian Authority, which have been ongoing for the last three years, split an investigating group of members of the European Parliament on 2 April.

By a margin of just one vote, a majority of MEPs backed a report that said there was no conclusive evidence that EU money had gone to terrorists.

But an alternative 'minority report', backed by six of the 13 members of the group, said that the evidence "cannot be discarded".

Now, read this excerpt from Frontpage.com of an interview, with Rodger W. Claire, author of the new book, Raid on the Sun - Inside Israel’s Secret Campaign that Denied Saddam the Bomb, about his experience trying to publish in Europe.

Read the entire interview, but this excerpt stagers the mind.

FP: You encountered difficulty selling the publication rights in Europe. What happened?

Claire: Every European publisher, including Britain, France, Italy, and Spain, passed on the rights to the book, having never even seen the galleys. Stunned, my agents, The Robbins Office, made inquiries and were told that European readers shied away from anything that put Israeli in a positive light. The publishers were not so much pro-Palestinian as anti-Israeli. But it is no secret that a new wave of anti-Semitism is moving through Europe, fuelled by the European Left and the huge Muslim immigrant populations. Obviously, my book became a victim of that. It is not a political book, it is an exciting, pulse-pounding military tale, revealing what incredible feats a human being can accomplish in the most impossible of circumstances, and that faith and teamwork and duty can overcome almost any obstacle – or any tyrant.


hmmmmmm...could this help explain why the obvious is a minorty view in Europe....and the Post.
