Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz’s conservative People’s Party and Green Party leader Werner Kogler presented their government’s program.
The new coalition government in Austria pledged to fight anti-Zionism in addition to antisemitism, in its written program released on Thursday.

Ooops...Green Party.Achtung,Austrains: Get ready for mandatory bicycles and heating allowed only from windmills and solar.
I’ve heard some on the left bend themselves into pretzels claiming that you can both be anti-Zionist but not anti-Semitic.
As an Aussie, I initially glanced at the headline and wondered when the hell did we get a new government.

Wm. F. Buckley Jr. once said that while a body can be anti-Zionist without being anti-Semitic, there are no anti-Semites who are pro-Israel.
It doesn’t follow at all. Granted, anti-Semitism is one thing, and anti-Zionism is another, and the two do not necessarily coincide in all cases.

An anti-Zionist might or might not agree, depending on what his opinion is, and how honest he is. It’s a blur, and gives no clear indication where Austria stands on BDS or anything else.
