Life is never sacred to the left.
One member of the Austrian Social Democratic Party caused outrage in the country by posting on social media a message that openly mocks the victims of the Moscow terrorist attack, which claimed 140 lives.
“Karma is a bitch,” an employee of the party commented on the terrorist attack.
Austria’s conservative Freedom Party (FPÖ) condemned the post, and the SPÖ swiftly reacted by saying that “we had a very serious discussion with the employee and the post has since been deleted.”
As it turned out, the social democrat co-worker was also a follower of the BDS Austria movement, a movement supporting the boycott of Israel, which was unanimously condemned and declared anti-Semitic by all parties of the Austrian National Council in 2019.
Austrian Freedom Party politician Leo Kohlbauer reacted on X to the post: “This employee is not only mocking the victims of Islamists, but with all his anti-Semitic and LGBTIQ Instagram pages, he obviously represents the completely confused worldview of the Social Democratic Party (SPÖ), between the rainbow and Islamism.”
Dieser SPÖ-Mann verhöhnt nicht nur die Opfer der Islamisten, mit allen seinen gefolgten antisemitischen und LGBTIQ-Instagram-Seiten steht er offensichtlich für das völlig wirre Weltbild der Babler-SPÖ, zwischen Regenbogen und Islamismus.https://t.co/cPy5nfUXlD

Most European countries have condemned the terror attack in Moscow, including NATO and the United States, despite the war in Ukraine.
Some right-wing parties have pointed out that the threat of Islamic terrorism in Europe remains acute and that the Moscow attacks should serve as a warning that Europe should heed.
“It’s a terrorist attack, and every time we have a terrorist attack, it’s something we must condemn, we must condemn very strongly. Although (Russia) is provoking a war in a different country like Ukraine, it’s a warning for all of us, in terms of Islamic fundamentalism and Islamic extremism. I hope we open our eyes to that problem, and we strongly condemn what happened in Russia,” said André Ventura, leader of Portugal’s Chega party, during a meeting of conservative European parties in Rome earlier this week.
