Foggy distance

I noticed that the rightist news broadcasting in Israel mentioned that the party "Sverigedemokraterna" (Swedish Democrats) have taken seats in the Swedish parliament after the general elections last Sunday. They referred to it as an anti-Muslim and pro-Israeli party, as if they were allies of some sort. However, they forgot to mention the important detail that the party has its origin in the neo-nazi movement. Alas, the flirting with the pro-Israeli lobby is just a dirty scam. They do not like Jews more than they like Arabs. Clearly, the Israeli coverage of Sweden is not more accurate than the Swedish coverage of Israel...

Update: Haaretz seems a bit more sober on the matter.
