Austria: Jew Set Up Fake Pro-Jewish AND Anti-Jewish Websites to Discredit Right-Wing Candidate

Like many stories related to our Friends from the East, this one is complicated. The short version of it is that an Israeli Jew, Tal Silberstein, working as a campaign adviser for the Austrian Socialist Party, set up fake Facebook pages that invoked racist and antisemitic tropes to try and discredit the lead candidate of the mainstream Austrian conservative party, Sebastian Kurz.

To damage Kurz, Silberstein and his “team of Israelis and Austrians” set up two fake “far-right” Facebook pages, one purporting to be in support of Kurz (“Wir für Sebastian Kurz” [We are for Sebastian Kurz]), the other opposing him (“Die Wahrheit über Sebastian Kurz” [The Truth about Sebastian Kurz]). The opposition page used antisemitic motifs, claiming Kurz was connected to George Soros, for example.

Soros the whisperer – Is Soros behind the “Independent” Kurz list?

The “supportive” page used “far-right” rhetoric about migrants, supposedly to discredit Kurz by insinuating that he had extremist affiliations.

When Kurz eventually called out the campaign against him “We don’t need Silbersteins meddling in our affairs”, he was accused of antisemitism!

A number of his political rivals and Austrian media outlets criticized Kurz’s comments because of his use of the term “Silbersteins” as a collective and negative title with clear Jewish connotations. Ulrike Lunacek, the Green Party candidate and vice president of the European Parliament, said the language employed by Kurz “sows hatred,” and called on the candidates to choose their words with care. Sebastian Reinfeldt, a political scientist from Vienna, wrote that “Kurz doesn’t shy away from using anti-Semitic codes.”

It shows the almost diabolical potency of the antisemitism construct. Jews can deliberately stir up antisemitism for political ends. Then, when merely someone points out what they’re doing, it’s antisemitism!

The scandal has rocked Austrian politics and should help Kurz win the forthcoming elections, probably behind the more hardcore conservative FPO in second place, with the Socialists consigned to third.

Tal Silberstein, incidentally, seems to be a one man fount of corruption. He is like the Harvey Weinstein of international politics. In August, he and his friend, Israeli billionaire Beny Steinmetz, were arrested on money-laundering charges in Israel. But that seems to be only a small part of the epic tale of skulduggery they have been involved in.

Israeli media reported in December that Steinmetz was suspected of bribing the former leader of Guinea and his wife for rights to mine at the Simandou range, one of the world’s largest sources of iron ore. Steinmetz’s company BSGR previously had its mining license revoked in Guinea because of corruption charges.
In 2015, Romanian media reported that Steinmetz, former Yitzhak Rabin Chief of Staff Shimon Sheves and Silberstein, a former adviser to Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert, were suspected of involvement in illicit real estate deals that cost the Romanian government more than $160 million.
