7. I think you're grossly underestimating the European nationalist right.

Some nationalist parties are more or less supportive of Israel, but that's more because they support Israel as country for the Jews and a bulwark against Muslims. Jews are still considered a foreign element, and should leave Europe alone. Many nationalists consider themselves to be great humanists, and the most humane thing to do with the Jews is to make sure they can leave and live in their own country.

Do you honestly think that the nationalist right-wing parties only have a problem with Muslims, and that Jews are somehow exempt from their hatred of all things foreign?
