12 thoughts on “Heinz-Christian Strache: “Israel of Course Represents a Front Line””

1. “….a modernisation of this religion”. No, can’t be done. A false hope there, Herr Stracher.

2. I remember years ago when Little Green Footballs bad-mouthed Filip DeWinter, a Belgian-Flemish counterjihadist. That was when I began realizing that LGF was turning against the counterjihad.

   God bless Filip DeWinter, Geert Wilders, Tommy Robinson, Donald Trump, the interviewer in this video, Michael Sturzenberger, the interviewee, Heinz-Christian Strache, and all of the counterjihad everywhere.

3. Unfortunately, Stracher applies the Enlightenment principles of universal human values to populations that do not share those values. I understand him when he says we must extend tolerance to all people, but I do not agree.

   There is a difference between extending tolerance to people and refraining from destroying those people. In other words, we can view the Afghan society as intolerant, barbarian, and murderous (less so before European/US-installed governments), but that doesn’t mean we could, or should, intervene in that government. We tend to see oppressed populations in terms of the Swiss tyranny ended by William Tell, rather than as savages tamed by vicious security services. So, western military interventions have almost universally turned out badly.

   We should not extend the least toleration to normal Islamic practices or government. It’s true that science developed in Islamic countries when the European church was suppressing science as an alternative to paid indulgences, but in the present, there are no redeeming features to Islamic laws. That means, no Muslims coming in to western countries. It does not mean that we interfere in the governing practices of Muslim rulers, as long as they represent no threat to western countries.

   • @ Ronald B.

     I think Strache would agree with Ayaan Hirsi Ali when she says “Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice.” I have a feeling he HAD to make a few token motherhood-kind statements to appease the peanut gallery. I certainly dont think he is a coward.

     You say: “…We tend to see oppressed populations in terms of the Swiss tyranny ended by William Tell, rather than as savages tamed by vicious security services. So, western military interventions have almost universally turned out badly….”

     I have rarely ever seen it put so succintly. Where were you, when successive Western Leaders screwed up – they could have done with your advice !

4. I can’t listen to Strache too long, as I have a crush on him, yet I’m married.
   I love his dialect, his smoothness, his appearance, and everything he says. I pray he saves my beloved Vienna, Austria, where some of my relatives once lived and where I lived for a time many years after them as well.

   • Hehe, Gretel, he got married a year ago. You’ll have to do with your spouse. 🙂

5. @ Gretel

   :):):) love it !

6. In my not-so-humble opinion, Mr. Strache is certainly no Nazi as suggested in this news item, which actually incensed me:

   Strache and the new Austrian Government will do more to save the Jews than their islamophiliac socialist predecessors and Merkel’s Mafia.

   I’m just reading up on Sigmund Freud: The warnings were writ large and the Anschluss was imminent, yet even a man of the Genius of Freud refused to see the danger. Although he fled to London at the last minute, had he listened to the warnings (the same which now emanate from the likes of Strache), his 4 sisters then in their 80ies would have been allowed to die of old age and not have perished in the concentrations camps as they did: Marie and Pauline went to Treblinka, Rosa to Auschwitz and Adolfine to Theresienstadt.

   In his diary in March 1938 Freud wrote: “Finis Austriae”. – And, if we had no gutsy politicians on the “right side” (in more ways than one) as hopefully Kurz and Strache will turn out to be, we may well say pretty soon, yet again: “Austria is Finished”.

   Why can people not recognise Evil, just because it has changed dress !!! Arrrrghhhh
   End of rant.

   • Good post! I didn’t know his sisters stayed behind and perished. Yes many of the time refused to believe their beloved fellow Austrians would do that to them. I agree that though Strache was a bit of a bad boy in his youth, he is on the right track now and means well.
     The current Jews of Austria need the FPÖ, the same way the German Jews need the AFD, even if undoubtedly there is still some Jewish hate or dislike of certain members of both parties. It’s the best the Jewish communities have right now and they
     need to show their support for the populist parties and come
     together, but we all know here- it won’t happen until it’s too late, and they will instead have to leave Europe and migrate to Israel or the US (again).

   • May I add that for every “Nazi” accusation I will in the future reply as follows: “In Austria you can actually go to prison for being a National Socialist. Since you are accusing me of a crime, I would demand proof that I committed a crime.” Case should be closed.

     • Yes Elizabeth, that’s how they should reply.

7. They say “no good deed shall go unpunished”. So I probably will now embarass the Baron:

   He is always thanking Translators etc. for their work, yet his consistantly great work in editing (for example my rather imperfect English) seems to go unmentioned and unnoticed. So, herewith: Thank YOU, Baron !
