Keeping Company

Netanyahu is received as an honoured guest. Why?

I carry no candle for the German-nationalist Third Lager in Austria, with its rabid capitalism and anticlericalism. But Jörg Haider was never in government nationally, whereas Avigdor Lieberman is now Israel's Foreign Minister.

So, when can we expect Israel to receive anything even remotely approaching the vilification and the pariah status heaped on Austria after the FPÖ entered government in 2000?
