To paraphrase Richard Ingrams, when you see a Jewish name in the byline of an article about Israel, or the plight of the Jews more generally, you ought to stop reading and turn the page. I have no idea who Oliver Wiseman is but I suspect he is a Chosen One.
As for the the Somali American woman (no, I don't mean Ilhan Omar, who couldn't be further for what she stands for from the one married to the Flying Scotsman) she did arrive via the Netherlands. The moderation of Erasmus would be alien to the zealotry of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who thinks the West (whatever that means since the US is as foreign to European sensibility as, say, Papua New Guinea) necessarily implies a Judeo-Christian order. That old revisionist, Hillaire Belloc, whose idea of Europe would be alien to a fire-breathing former member of the Islamist Brotherhood who called for upholding the fatwa on Salman Rushdie in 1990, would have swiftly disowned her.
