The Swiss People’s Party (SVP), which centered its campaign on anti-immigrant rhetoric, is projected to win 29 percent of the vote, up from 25.6 percent four years ago and higher than pre-election polls. It has been the country’s largest party since 2003.

    You know, I’ve always been pro immigration, being a son of an immigrant myself, and these far right arguments against immigration haven’t been about immigration per se, but Muslim immigration, and after seeing the worlds left (to which I’ve belonged and voted for, without exception my entire adult life) turn into Islamic Terrorist Jew Killing supporters, I’m more inclined to give this “anti immigration” stance a hard look.

    As in Israel, Muslims seek to murder and destroy, in the attempt to make anywhere that’s not like their own Islamofacist hellholes, exactly like all their other Islamofacist hellholes, and why import or allow that to imported into Egalitarian Secular Democracy so they can try their very best to make Jews less safe (to say nothing of Homosexuals) everywhere.

    I think I’m going to start to be less of a rah rah supporter of immigration, and I thank the Left for that. When you’re chanting “Free Palestine” and the Jewish community who’ve voted lockstep Democratic in the United States is watching you, there will be far flung ramifications.

    We’ve given the left our support, our lives in some cases like the southern freedom riders, our financial contributions, and our votes, far outpacing in percentage to any other American political block besides Black folks, for the last Hundred years.

    Antisemitism gets people so worked up and turned on, the hate overwhelms their logical ability to determine truth from falsehood, even when it’s presented to them, they simply refuse to believe it, and that’s when the pogroms start, and when they’re ignore, or excused.

    Who wants to import more of that? Anywhere?

      Islam is only 5% of the population’s religious demographic. Considering around 20% of the country’s population is immigrant families, that means the majority of immigrants aren’t even Muslim. So this party is entirely about fearmongering.
