on the drive to work, I heard that Israel called their ambassador to
Austria home, to protest the conservative/freedom party bloc that's
emerging and the growing role of Haider.
question: haven't parties that are just as ethnic chauvinist as (or even
more ethnic chauvanist than) Haider's "Freedom Party" taken part in
coalition governments in Israel in the past? (Obviously, their ethnic
animus wasn't aimed at Jews, but isn't hatred of _any_ ethnic group a
problem that needs to be faced and solved?)
