An exit poll says the far-right and anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders is heading for a massive parliamentary election victory. It's one of the biggest political upsets in Dutch politics since World War II and one that is bound to send shockwaves through Europe.
Media: “HAMAS, HAMAS, HAMAS, TERRORISM, STAND WITH ISRAEL, ANTISEMITISM SKYROCKETING”
Elections: Far-right surge
Tbf after watching a bunch of news casters talk about how Anti-semitism is rising it is pretty weird to vote for the guy talking about how it’s the Jews who moved the brown people into your suburb (not referencing shit that Wilders have said, just referencing general far-right statements).
It’s a mainstream liberal position to ignore antisemitism within their own ranks, or even those that openly identify with uncritical support to Israel etc. while placing an emphasis on “imported antisemitism”.
Racism? Yeah, probably. But definitely useful for fascistic politicians.
