157. Back in 2000

when Jorg Heider's Freedom Party created a coalition and became part of the Austrian government, various European nations enacted diplomatic sanctions against Austria. Do you think the European countries involved were behaving in an anti-democratic fashion?

I don't dispute that the Palestinians have a right to elect whomsoever they wish. But having done so, if they elect to government an organization at war with Israel, they areno immune to the consequences of that choice, and Israel is not obliged to ignore Hamas' actions just because they were elected.
