Vienna city council resolution against Israel was “unbalanced”.
This is a statement by Austria’s chancellor Werner Fayman. As the head of the Social Democratic Party (SPO), He has declared as “unbalanced” a recent Vienna city council resolution which condemns Israel’s attack of the Gaza aid flotilla late last month.
Most of Vienna’s city council democratic party members formed a coalition in May with the extremist right-wing Austrian Freedom Party, which is linked to neo-Nazis, and the alliance voted to condemn Israel’s response to the Mavi Marmara mission.
“There will be a debate within the SPO; people seem to realize they have been misled and misused,” said Ariel Muzicant, head of Austria’s Jewish community.
“It was not just a humanitarian flotilla. Islamists were on board and decided to commit criminal acts against Israel. [This was] not shown in the first days.”
In related news, a local German politician from the Free Democratic Party (FDP) in Stade, Germany sued three Left Party members last week over their support for the Gaza flotilla and resigned from his post as chairman. “As liberals, we want to send a clear message against this nasty anti-Semitism in the Left Party, nor are we blind in the right eye,”
Thomas Schalski-Seehann told the Hamburger Abendblatt. He is the first politician to charge the Leftist members with “incitement to hatred” and the “support of a terrorist organization.”
Two Left Party members and a former Left Party MP and foreign policy spokesman were on the Turkish flagship which was intercepted by Israel off Gaza.

Breaking News:
Viennese Jews facing harassment
Vienna: June 17, 2010
Jews in Vienna reportedly have been facing almost daily harassment since Israel’s deadly interception of a Gaza-bound flotilla.
Ariel Muzicant, president of the Viennese Jewish community, told ORF, the Austrian national public broadcaster, that members of the Jewish community have been subjected to verbal abuse and spitting. He said the violence has been directed at people who are identifiable by their clothes as being Jews and that there was no physical violence, according to DPA, citing the ORF report.
Muzicant, who heads the Vienna Israelite Community, or IKG, the body that represents Vienna’s Jewish community, also said his organization filed lawsuits against the organizers of recent anti-Israel demonstrations since anti-Semitic slogans and images were used, according to DPA. The protesters reportedly were mostly of Turkish or Arab origin.

My comment:
According to Ariel Muzicant, banners equating the Nazi swastika and the Star of David were present at the rallies in Vienna last week. A sign stating “Hitler wake up” was displayed at an anti-Israeli demonstration organized by left-wing group the Anti-Imperialist Committee and Austrian Muslims.
Adolf Hitler was born in Austria. Jew hate flourished in the old Empire of Austria Hungary, that was demolished in 1918, since Vienna had been on the loosing team in World War I.
But the Austrian wanted a re-match, and longed to be a part of a “great” Third Reich. As the only European nation, Austria welcomed the German “invaders” on 12 of March 1938. 14th of March Adolf Hitler was received as a hero in the Austrian capital.
There were 185.000 Jews in Vienna in 1938. After the war, only 25.000 remained.
Neo-Nazism is on the rise in Austria. There is again a longing for a strong Fuhrer, that can make the Austrians feel great. The common enemy that can create a united front in Austria, is the Jews. There are still 7.500 Jews living in Austria, the large majority in Vienna. I guess God of the Bible will send some hunters there also, to get His chosen people home where they belong.
