#Israel / The brotherhood of the Islamophobic
Over at Walla, Barak Ravid is reporting a shift in Israel's foreign policy, indicating a willingness to engage with far-right parties in #France, #Sweden, and #Spain (but not in #Germany and #Austria, since that would be too cynical presumably...) despite their history of #antisemitism, #islamophobia and extremism.
While Minister of "Diaspora Affairs," Amichai Chikli, has been meeting with representatives of the far-right parties for a long time now, it was without coordinating with the Foreign Ministry.
This policy shift has significant implications. It will normalize these parties, provide them with legitimacy, and potentially give them a platform to promote their views. It also could lead to a backlash from Jewish communities and other groups that oppose these parties.
