Jews and the European Far Right

According to The New York Times, European Jews are starting to vote for far-right parties:

PARIS — A curious thing is happening in Belgium these days: a small but vocal number of Jews are supporting a far-right party whose founders were Nazi collaborators. The xenophobic party, Vlaams Belang, plays on fears of Arab immigrants and, unlike the prewar parties from which it is descended, courts Jewish votes. Perhaps 5 percent of the city of Antwerp's Jews gave it their votes in the last election.

This might look almost as preposterous as voting for far-left parties (the traditional political affiliation among non-traditional Jews) but the far right is better for the Jews in one respect.

The far right is more likely to help us pack.
