European ‘New Right’ MPs in Samaria: ‘This is Jewish Land!’
by Gil Ronen & Yoni Kempinski
Sixty-five years after the defeat of the Third Reich, a senior delegation of
European right-wing politicians toured Samaria Monday in support of the Jews
who live there, whom they see as a bridgehead in the struggle against a
common foe – Islamic jihadism and expansionism.

The delegation of senior European parliamentarians toured Samaria’s Jewish
communities Monday as guests of the Samaria Liaison Office, which said the
group was “unprecedented” in its political importance. The parliamentarians
learned from up close about the strategic value of the region and visited
sites of historic and biblical significance.
The delegation included 35 senior European parliamentarians from Austria,
Italy, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Britain and Sweden, including some who
are believed likely to one day head their countries. Germany, Austria and
Italy, under extreme right-wing parties, were at the heart of the Axis that
fought a genocidal war against the Jewish nation and a war of conquest
against the Allied Powers in the 1930’s and 40’s.
A spokesman for the Shomron (Samaria) local authority explained that most of
the visitors were from what is known as the “New Right” in Europe. These are
parties that support Israel, renounce anti-Semitism and see the Islamic
takeover of Europe as a clear danger, the Samaria spokesman said. Most of
the touring parliamentarians were Christians, while some were Jews. The
visitors agreed that Judea and Samaria constitute Jewish land.
The group included Heinz-Christian Strache, head of the German Freedom
Party, who is seen as a likely candidate to become the next chancellor of
Austria; Filip Dewinter of Belgium’s Vlaams Belang party; MP Frank
Creyelman, who heads the Belgian Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee;
René Stadtkewitz, Chairman of Germany’s Freedom Party; and Claus Pandi,
editor-in-chief of Krone Zeitung, the biggest newspaper in Austria. The
visit coincides with that of Dutch Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders in
Israel.
The parliamentarians visited secular and religious communities including
Barkan, Elon Moreh and Har Bracha, in order to get a better understanding of
Jewish residents’ motivation for living in the contested biblical land.
