Austrian rabbi pledges cooperation with Hamas-led Palestinian Authority

PA minister, anti-Zionist Austrian rabbi herald 'joint coalition' - Haaretz - Israel News :
"[Moishe Arye] Friedman is chief rabbi for hundreds of anti-Zionist orthodox Jews in Vienna but is shunned by Austria's 7,000-member Israelite Religious Community because of views that are repudiated by most Jews and also, in some cases, embraced by far-rightists."
...
"Friedman said his congregation would "do everything in practical terms to help the Palestinian people," including sending money and food to the West Bank.
"'We will support them in ways that others have failed to do,' Friedman said, but declined to give details."

Fairly strange, but not much more strange than another story the same day that Norway was also pledging aid to the new Hamas-run PA government. Or that the EU would give a travel visa to Atef Adwan, the new head of the PA's refugee ministry, when his political party is officially designated by the EU as a terrorist organization.
