On Sunday, migrants paralysed traffic on Vienna’s Ringstrasse with their anti-Israel protest – as reported by eXXpress. It has now emerged that “supporters of the Islamist ‘Muslim Brotherhood'” were among them. This was reported by the Vienna Press Service. For some, ” jester’s licence” applies, criticised FPÖ leader Kickl.
Migrants set off from Heldenplatz on Sunday afternoon in leased show-off boxes. They then agitated against Israel on the Vienna Ring Road and blocked traffic – as reported by eXXpress. As has now become known, supporters of the radical Islamic Muslim Brotherhood were also among the Israel-haters. They outed themselves by displaying the R4bia sign. This emblem has been used by the Muslim Brotherhood since 2013, originally to demonstrate against the government in Egypt.
The terrorist organisation Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the radical Islamic Muslim Brotherhood. It is also responsible for the massacre in Israel on October 7, in which 1,200 citizens were killed and 240 others were taken hostage.
The anti-Semitic group “Palestine Solidarity Austria” and the Islamist Khalid Ott, among others, had called for the rally, reports the Journalists’ Network Press Office Vienna. A total of around 200 people in dozens of SUVs took part. They blocked the Ringstrasse, honking their horns and shouting. A Turkey flag was emblazoned on a BMW off-road vehicle. Another participant hung the Iraqi flag that was used under Saddam Hussein.
Despite the traffic chaos caused by the demonstrators and the highly questionable organisers, the gathering had previously been approved, the police reported. It remains to be seen whether individual Israel-haters who behaved in a clearly unlawful manner will be investigated.
Only FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl commented on the incident on Facebook: “How can it be that in the middle of Vienna, in the capital of a neutral country, thousands of kilometres away from Israel and the Gaza Strip, such a motorcade is organised by supposedly so well-integrated migrants?” he wrote. “For some, there is obviously a jester license.”
