A 31 year old Syrian refugee has been arrested in connection with three attacks on the Jewish community in Graz in southern Austria...The first attack took place around 11pm on August 18 when Graz’s synagogue was graffitied with the words “Palestine is free” and “Our language and our land are red lines”... He is also suspected of having vandalised the headquarters of a Graz LGBTQ association and a Catholic church last week. Austria’s interior minister, Karl Nehammer, ascribed an “Islamist motive” to the attacks, calling the suspect a “radical Islamist antisemite” and “homophobe”.

Syrian refugee arrested for violent attack on Austrian Jewish leader

[...] The slogan “Free Palestine” was written on the synagogue, a phrase that typically means the elimination of the Jewish state.

“In Graz, we are dealing with a stronger left wing and anti-Israel antisemitism,” he said. “We can clearly determine that.” The attack was not carried out by right-wing extremists, Rosen told the daily Wiener Zeitung. https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/syrian-refugee-arrested-for-violent-attack-on-austrian-jewish-leader-639691

This jihadi got to Austria through Germany, and Germany’s “welcome refugees” program. Thanks, Angela.

The Greek Reporter news site linked the drill to the deepening ties between the UAE and Israel, one of Greece's main allies in the region. Jerusalem and Abu Dhabi announced on August 13 they would normalize relations, a move that angered Ankara. The close ties between Israel and Greece are based on a number of shared strategic and economic interests. According to Greek Reporter, the Greece-UAE drills "send an unmistakable signal to anyone who might think of challenging Greece that the nation is far from alone in defending its borders."..In May Israel and Greece's defense ministries signed an agreement for Israel to lease IAI Heron UAVs to Greece for border defense. Greek ONEX Neorion Shipyards and Israel Shipyards have also signed a cooperation agreement for the construction of next-generation corvette ships for the Greek navy. The agreement, which was signed during the recent visit by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to Israel on June 16, will see up to six Themistocles-class corvettes be built based on plans by Israel Shipyards, based in Haifa. The Themistocles design is reported to be "basically the same design" as Israel's Sa'ar 72 mini-corvettes, but with modifications according to the needs of the Hellenic Navy.
UAE sends F-16 jets to Crete for joint drills with Greece | by Anna Ahronheim | August 24, 2020 | Jerusalem Post
The Turks have pissed off everyone, even perhaps the Germans. The UAE have held joint exercises with Greece and with Israel in recent years.
