Belgian Far-right party calls for Jews to join war on Islam
Boycott Israel | 05.10.2006 12:28
We've already seen an alliance in the UK between the Start-a-War coalition of IsraelFirster's and a fascist BNP front organisation, both of which publicised and attended the March for Free Expression (to slag off Muslims). Now the Belgians get in on the act, with Islamophobia the new face of "respectable" bigotry. Hopefully the Jews of Belgium will tell the Nazi's to fuck off, but I wouldn't count on it.
One of Europe's most successful far-right leaders has appealed to Jewish voters to join forces against radical Islam and back a party denounced as xenophobic.
Filip Dewinter, leader of Belgium's Vlaams Belang, described Antwerp's large Jewish community as natural partners "against the main enemy of the moment, the radical Islam, fundamentalism".
Vlaams Belang is expected to win at least a third of the votes in local elections on Sunday and emerge as the largest party in Antwerp, a city with tense race relations and one which has suffered racial murders this year. Mr Dewinter has come to the threshold of political power by advocating strict limits on immigration, including the return of economic migrants who fail to integrate, as well as independence for Flanders, the northern, Dutch-speaking half of Belgium.
He called for radical Islam to be denied official recognition and its supporters, and those who fail to integrate, denied Belgian nationality and possibly social security payments.
