Germany: Intelligence agency says entire AfD 'extremist' (www.dw.com)

Germany's spy agency BfV has labeled the entirety of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as an extremist entity.

The BfV domestic intelligence agency, which is in charge of safeguarding Germany's constitutional order, said the announcement comes after an "intense and comprehensive" examination.

"The ethnicity- and ancestry-based conception of the people that predominates within the party is not compatible with the free democratic order," the BfV said on Friday.

"It aims to exclude certain population groups from equal participation in society, to subject them to treatment that violates the constitution, and thereby assign them a legally subordinate status."

Impressive. Now tell us what you think of Israel.

They'll investigate the Israeli government for several years and then conclude they can't pass judgement because they accidentally replaced 2/3rds of the government with their own moles and can't prove that the atrocities weren't done by the moles.

(Explanation for those unfamiliar with German politics: That's precisely what happened with an earlier extreme-right party.)
