(AFP) — The blue and white Israeli flag flew on official buildings in Austria on Friday in a sign of “solidarity” with the Jewish state, Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said.

“I condemn with the utmost firmness the attacks against Israel from the Gaza Strip,” the conservative leader said a statement sent to AFP.

“Israel has the right to defend itself against these attacks. To show our solidarity … we have put up the Israeli flag,” on the chancellery and the foreign ministry, the statement added.

“Nothing justifies the more than 1,000 rockets that Hamas and other terrorist groups have fired up to now at Israel from Gaza,” said Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg.

“We strongly support the security of Israel.”

How long before a shooting or stabbing or bombing? A day or two?

Thank you Austria. I have always thought it a nation of Nazis. I was wrong.

Has Biden raised the flag of the Arab terrorists over the White House yet?

Hitler did not give Austria much choice, either they join Germany or else. Believe me, a lot of folks there hated Hitler like the pestilence, but what could they do.

Wow. Great.

Better than us constantly lowering our own flag.

He will only do that after lowering the US flag to half staff, then putting the f(l)ag higher.

There's an excellent movie on Franz Jägerstätter, the Austrian conscientious objector who paid the ultimate price for his resistance to the Nazis; it's called "A Hidden Life". Jägerstätter is currently being pushed for sainthood.

(Interestingly, the movie was filmed in English with a German-speaking cast.)

I am not Jewish. I don’t think I even know someone who is Jewish. But when it comes to choosing between the Jews and the muslims... THAT is an easy one!
