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.

O rly? Strache doesn’t attack Jews?

Every leftist on the planet talks up Israel’s “right to exist” while slamming them for defending themselves against the “Palestinians”. Lots of Israel’s enemies visit there on diplomatic jaunts, from national socialist to international socialist to Islamic socialist. This is nothing new.

Putting words in people’s mouths is a bad habit; please don’t engage in it. However, the LP actually believes tenets of Islamic propaganda:
Al-Qaida stated clearly, even before 9/11, that their plan to attack Americans was a response to three ongoing US policies: (1) the stationing of US troops in Saudi Arabia, (2) the embargo of food and medicine that had so far killed over a million Iraqis, and (3) support of Israeli persecution of Palestinians.
Further in that foreign policy platform, their stance on Islamic terrorism is too dovish and encourages its proliferation.
