Default “A New European Foe”: Jews Line Up to Attack Austria after Election

Quote:
The European Jewish Congress, Austria’s Jewish Community (IKG) organization, and the Jerusalem Post have joined forces in a concerted attack upon Austria following last weekend’s election which saw the conservatives and the anti-invasion Freedom Party (FPÖ) together poll nearly 60 percent of the vote.

The Jerusalem Post was the most outspoken Jewish voice,

announcing in a banner headline that Jews had a “new European foe” and that “Israel [was] challenged by [the] success of [the] far-right Austrian party.”

The Jewish newspaper said that Israel had avoided having to “engage with European far-right parties t hanks to the National Front’s loss in the French elections and German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s position of not including the AfD in her governing coalition.”

The paper pointed out that the last time the FPÖ formed part of an Austrian government (in 1999) “Israel responded by recalling its ambassador and downgrading its relations with Vienna for more than three years, until the coalition fell apart.”

The paper added that Jews in Austria had almost all urged the Israeli state not to have anything to do with the FPÖ: “Another element that has guided Israel in its policies toward these parties has been the position of the local Jewish communities, and these Jewish communities have come out against Israel engaging with them.”
