Jörg Haider, the leader of Austria's extreme, unofficially neo-Nazi, right wing, was killed today in a car crash. Good riddance. The extremist parties recently won about a third of the vote in Austrian elections. That is very alarming. Sure, their focus insn't the Jews right now, but rather muslim and other immigrants, but they'll come back to the Jews eventually. Hey, the world is in a financial crisis - sounds like a perfect opportunity to blame us.
Haider was a very charismatic figure. Hopefully, his death may reduce the power of extremists. On the other hand, it may be too late now. Either way, the world is better off without him.

ReplyDeleteWhat a racist, conceited comment.
Than again, you Israelis are "focusing" enough on the "Muslims" for everybody.
I didn't mean to imply that racism towards other groups is ok. We have to fight against all forms of racism. My point was that among other things, they'll get back to targeting the Jews since this is Austria we're talking about, the birthplace of Hitler.
ReplyDeleteDon't try to make me (or Israelis in general) out to be a racist just because of some bad wording.
The man was a maniac and the world is better off with him not in it; for Muslims and for Jews.
ReplyDeleteBut that said, I think he was a sewing machine in the haystack. There are MUCH bigger players who will live on well into their 90s.
