Trump team boycotts meeting with Israeli official to stand in solidarity with Swedish neo-Nazi

Quite the pattern developing here: First it was reported that Michael Flynn, Donald Trump’s pick to be national security advisor, had a meeting with the leader of a far-right Austrian political party that was founded by ex-Nazis. And now, a senior member of Trump’s transition team who was in Israel to attend “a gathering of conservative parliamentarians from the US and Europe” joined in a boycott of a high-level briefing with Israel’s deputy foreign minister after Israel refused to allow a Swedish neo-Nazi to attend the meeting:

A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry said the decision to exclude [Kristina] Winberg was made due to her party’s far-right and ultra-nationalist positions. [...]

“The Swedish representative is a member of a party with neo-Nazi tendencies and therefore the Foreign Ministry decided not to include her in the meeting with Hotovely,” Emmanuel Nahshon said. 

So of course a member of Team Trump would stand in solidarity with Winberg, a member of the European Parliament for the Sweden Democrats, who describe themselves as “social conservative with a nationalist foundation” and:

… has been criticized in Sweden for its far-right and anti-immigration policies, particularly against what it calls the “Homosex lobby” and the “Islamization of Sweden.”

Sounds rather familiar, doesn’t it? 

(And one can’t help but wonder: is Bibi starting to get concerned?)
