Austrian state mulls limiting kosher meat sale to registered Jews
JPost ^

Posted on 07/18/2018 5:30:12 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

A regional politician in Austria defended a plan to limit access to kosher meat, conditioning its sale on permits that would be individually issued to observant Jews.

The Wiener Zeitung daily reported Tuesday about the draft decree in the state of Lower Austria, one of nine states that make up the federal Republic of Austria. Gottfried Waldhäusl, the cabinet minister in the state government of Lower Austria who is in charge of animal welfare and several other portfolios, defended the plan as necessary “from an animal welfare point of view.”

*** The Wiener Zeitung did not say whether the draft decree extends also to halal meat as well as kosher meat.

I understand the confusion. We were having dinner at a restaurant and my son asked me if chicken fried steak fingers was chicken or beef.
He assumed steak meant beef.

Oh, no.

The waiter knew.

Bizarre. I suppose Austria does have some experience in categorizing Jews. The observant get papers, the less observant don't, for now

When I worked at a kosher deli at Winn Dixie in South Florida, many of my customers were Muslims and non-observant Jews. What’s it the government’s business who eats what. The fact that they are registering Jews at all in Austria is all the more reason for Jews to leave Europe altogether. Disgusting.

Maybe we could tattoo a number on them to identify them.

Yes.

As for who eats what ...

It’s remarkable how those of the ideology that here in America once sang “he can’t even run his own life, I’ll be damned if he’ll run mine” now demand we can’t get by without them fussing over every nuance of life except for sex and getting high ... only getting their jollies is off the table for them. And of course it matters not that they can’t run their lives and their morals and ethics are corrupt: the seriousness of the charges only matters as a club to whack the the rest of us with, no matter how niggling and contrived the charges may be.

Austria just acquired some belated testicular fortitude, and wants to control its borders. If they also want to control every aspect of everyone’s life within those borders, they can count me out. So much for vacationing in Saltzberg.

I wouldn’t register either, not here, not in Europe, not in Australia.
