    The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, an EU and US classified terrorist entity responsible the murders of scores of Israelis, seeks to enter the German Bundestag in the September 24 federal election.
    ...
    The Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany (MLPD) joined forces with the PFLP to be on the election ballot. Germany’s most recent federal intelligence report, from 2016, listed the MLPD as a “leftist extremist party” that has been “unsuccessful in elections.”

    The MLPD has 1,800 members and supporters, the intelligence report noted.

    According to an August 16 report by journalist Stefan Laurin in the weekly German-Jewish newspaper Jüdische Allgemeine, the federal intelligence agency does not see a problem with PFLP.

    While I believe that those not so strange ideological bedfellows don't stand any meaningful chance of swaying the voters in their favor, I wonder how is it possible that a designated terror organization can not only flourish in a EU country, but is given the opportunity to make a bid for political power in that country.

    This is the second flirt between PFLP and an extreme left wing German organization.
    We can only hope that the renewed romance between the German far left and the terrorists of PFLP will not spawn terrorist activities again.

    Although...

    Oh, Barcelona...

    Wasn't there an old saying about lying down with dogs?
