Orianna Falacci has made anti semitic remarks. Before the threat of Islamic terrorism, she used to consider Jews to be uppity. Later, since she is in Europe, she considred the uppity Muslims a bigger threat, nevertheless, the bigotry against both is evident. She later toned down her anti jewish rhetoric to get support i presume, but people especially Jews shouldn't forget her words:

I am angry at the Jews for many things… If you want to take the example of
America, how they hold the power, the economical power in so many ways, and
the press and the other kind of stuff… I never realized how it happened and
they came to control the media to that point. Why?

Europe becomes more and more a province of Islam, a colony of Islam. And
Italy is an outpost of that province, a stronghold of that colony...In each
of our cities lies a second city: a Muslim city, a city run by the Quran. A
stage in the Islamic expansionism.
