Early life and education

Bat Ye'or was born into a wealthy Jewish family in Cairo, Egypt in 1933. Her father was Italian and had fled Italy during Mussolini's rule, and her mother was from France.NEWS, André, Darmon, Interview with Bat Ye'or, Israel Magazine, July 2007, I was born in Egypt, in Cairo, into a family of the Jewish bourgeoisie, of an Italian father and a French mother. My grandfather, to whom Egyptian nationality was accorded by exception, was crowned Bey by the Ottoman sultan. My father decided to renounce Italian nationality as a result of Mussolini's racist laws, but when Nasser came to power, my mother's goods were confiscated because she was French and my father's because he was Jewish. We were forced to stay home, we were chased out of public places and at that moment we decided to flee Egypt. Many fled secretly from fear of being imprisoned. We were forced, like all Egyptian Jews, to sign papers according to which we renounced all our goods, our passport and our nationality, for those who had it, since the Jews had been for the most part Ottoman subjects and not Egyptian. The Jews promised in writing not to demand anything of the Egyptian State. The only right we had was to take one suitcase, which was searched and thrown to the ground and 20 Egyptian pounds that were taken from us anyway by the customs officials, not to mention the insults and acts of terror in front of my parents, both of whom were invalids., She and her parents fled Egypt in 1957 after the Suez Crisis of 1956,BOOK, A History of the Twentieth Century: 1952–1999, Gilbert, Martin, Martin Gilbert, 1997, HarperCollins, 9780688100667, 142,weblink 3 August 2012, Most of those who went elsewhere did so as 'stateless refugees, among them Gisele Orebi (later Gisele Littman), who was to become the acknowledged expert on the plight of Jews and Christians in Muslim lands, and their vigorous champion: her book The Dhimmi.

Eurabia conspiracy theory

Ye'or's books Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis (2005) and Europe, Globalization, and the Coming of the Universal Caliphate (2011) originated the Eurabia conspiracy theory, which alleged a relationship from the 1970s onwards between the European Union (previously the European Economic Community) and the Arab states.

Reception

The notion of "Eurabia" has been dismissed as a conspiracy theory by academics and other commentators.JOURNAL, Fekete, Liz, The Muslim conspiracy theory and the Oslo massacre, Race & Class, 53, 3, 2012, 30–47, 10.1177/0306396811425984, 146443283, JOURNAL, Carland, Susan, Islamophobia, fear of loss of freedom, and the Muslim woman, Islam and Christian–Muslim Relations, 22, 4, 2011, 469–73, 10.1080/09596410.2011.606192, 145063957, BOOK, David Lagerlöf, Jonathan Leman, Jonathan Leman, Alexander Bengtsson, Alexander Bengtsson,weblink The Anti-Muslim Environment â€“ The ideas, the Profiles and the Concept, Expo (magazine), Expo Research, Stockholm, 2011, 8 June 2012,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20120503092912weblink">weblink 3 May 2012, dead, ENCYCLOPEDIA, Shooman, Yasemin, Spielhaus, Riem, Jocelyne Cesari, Muslims in the West after 9/11: religion, politics, and law, The concept of the Muslim enemy in the public discourse,weblink 2010, Routledge, 978-0-415-77654-7, 198–228, 16 March 2016,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20140830083133weblink">weblink 30 August 2014, live, JOURNAL, !Fekete, Liz, Enlightened fundamentalism?

For example, writing in Race & Class in 2006, author and freelance journalist Matt Carr states, "In order to accept Ye'or's ridiculous thesis, it is necessary to believe not only in the existence of a concerted Islamic plot to subjugate Europe, involving all Arab governments, whether 'Islamic' or not, but also to credit a secret and unelected parliamentary body with the astounding ability to transform all Europe's major political, economic and cultural institutions into subservient instruments of 'jihad' without any of the continent's press or elected institutions being aware of it."Carr argues that Bat Ye'or is the "main inspiration" for many conspiracy theories current on the far-right. Furthermore, Carr notes that "[s]tripped of its Islamic content, the broad contours of Ye'or's preposterous thesis [in Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis] recall the anti-Semitic conspiracy theories of the first half of the twentieth century and contemporary notions of the 'Zionist Occupation Government' prevalent in far-right circles in the US".JOURNAL, Matt Carr, July 2006, You are now entering Eurabia, Race & Class, 48, 1, 1–22, 10.1177/0306396806066636, 145303405, He notes further that Bat Ye'or's analysis is driven by a contempt of "Islam's celebrated cultural achievements" and a view of Islam as a "perennially barbaric, parasitic and oppressive religion".In a The Jerusalem Post interview, referring to Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis the Jewish British historian Martin Gilbert stated "I've read Bat Yeor's book.

Dhimmitude

Ye'or is credited for employing the neologism dhimmitude which she discusses in detail in (Islam and Dhimmitude: Where Civilizations Collide). The word dhimmitude, which purposefully bears a phonetic resemblance with the word servitude,Muslims, multiculturalism and the question of the silent majority, S. Akbarzadeh, J.M. Roose, Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs, 2011, Taylor & Francis. was intentionally used and popularized by Bat Ye'or.

Reception

According to journalist Adi Schwartz from Haaretz, the fact that she is not an academic and has never taught at any university, but has worked as an independent researcher, has, along with her opinions, made her a controversial figure. He quotes professor Robert S. Wistrich, head of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism, who notes:{{blockquote|Up until the 1980s, she was not accepted at all. In academic circles they scorned her publications. Only when Bernard Lewis published the book 'Jews of Islam' with quotations from Bat Ye'or did they begin to pay any attention to her. A real change toward her emerged in the 1990s, and especially in recent years.Adi Schwartz from Haaretz.com 'The protocols of the elders of Brussels' {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090430230408weblink |date=30 April 2009 }} "Bat Ye'or's opinions have made her a controversial figure, as has the fact that she is not an academic and has never taught at any university. She conducts her research independently. Since the 1970s, Bat Ye'or, who is now 71, has published about 10 books, most of which deal with the life of the Christian and Jewish minorities in Muslim countries. "}}Lewis on another occasion, called the notion of Jewish "dhimmi"-tude, i.e., of their "subservience and persecution and ill treatment" under Islamic rule, a "myth", which, just as the myth "of a golden age of equality, of mutual respect and cooperation", "contain[s] significant elements of truth," with the "historic truth" being "in its usual place, somewhere in the middle between the extremes."Bernard Lewis, 'The New Anti-Semitism' {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208140302weblink |date=8 December 2015 }}, The American Scholar Journal â€“ Volume 75 No. 1 Winter 2006 pp. 25–36.British historian Martin Gilbert in his book A History of the Twentieth Century has called her "the acknowledged expert on the plight of Jews and Christians in Muslim lands" who "brought the issue of [their] continuing discrimination to a wide public."Sir Martin Gilbert, A History of the Twentieth Century, Volume III: 1952–1999, p. 127: "Most of those who went elsewhere did so as 'stateless refugees, among them Gisele Orebi (later Gisele Litrman), who was to become the acknowledged expert on the plight of Jews and Christians in Muslim lands, and their vigorous champion: her book The Dhimmi.

He goes on to say "[quotations] are presented out of context, with no analysis or explanation. One has the impression that in their bulk they are simply meant to undergird the contentions made in the first part of the book", concluding that thus Ye'or has "written a polemical tract, not responsible historical analysis."Griffith, Sidney H., "The Decline of Eastern Christianity Under Islam: From Jihad to Dhimmitude", International Journal of Middle East Studies, Vol. 30, No. 4.
