They aren’t?

So being for the two-speed version of the EU, and attacking “Jews” and “Zionists” is not neo-Nazi?

You would be hard-pressed to find any political parties in Europe that resembled US conservatives in any way, shape or form. And even US libertarianism has been tainted by anti-Zionism, so that is not a mark of validity, sorry.

As I’ve already explained, the party itself doesn’t attack Jews. The party leader, Heinz-Christian Strache, is pro-Israel. He has visited Israel and has expressed his belief in the Jewish state. Once more, it is not an anti-Semitic party, no more than any other party is because it has some anti-Semites within its ranks. There are actual anti-Semitic parties in the world, and the FPÖ is certainly not one of them. The National Front in France used to have a lot of unsavory characters in its ranks, and still has a few here and there, but I think most Freepers understand that it is the best hope for France’s long-term survival in any recognizable form.

The EU is utterly irrelevant to the Nazi issue, but the party is more anti-EU than most continental Western European political parties (and the two separate Euros policy is simply fairer and economically sounder as far as I can tell without delving into the issue more deeply). And, apparently, by your definition (any questionable members taints the whole party) you consider the Libertarian Party in the U.S. to also be a Nazi party. Thanks for making it clearer how extremist you are on this issue.
