Neo-nazis are gaining political strength in Germany:
The anti-immigrant Nationalist Democratic Party (NPD) won 9 per cent of the vote in Saxony, almost equal to the vote for the Social Democrats of the Chancellor, Gerhard Schroder… The gains by the NPD, which had been semi-extinct since its heyday in West Germany 36 years ago, shocked Paul Spiegel, president of Germany’s National Council of Jews, who said it was a symptom of the failures of mainstream politicians.
“Memories of the end of the Weimar Republic are awakened,” Mr Spiegel said.
“A party that makes anti-Semitic and xenophobic propaganda doesn’t belong in any parliament.”
The anti-Israel material that fills European media has played no small part in fueling this highly disturbing trend.
