...immigration, though there are some siren voices," says Pickles. That hasn't stopped the Conservatives and other centrist parties from falling into bouts of my-policy-is-tougher-than-yours posturing. The Conservative Party also raised eyebrows with its choice of allies in the European Parliament: a new right-wing grouping chaired by Polish MEP Michal Kaminski, a former member of two hard-right parties. But Pickles says the key to winning the argument against extremism is to take it back to grassroots. "The only way to deal with [the far right] is by local politicians championing their neighborhoods...
...bear out P.T. Barnum's aphorism that there is no such thing as bad publicity. Modern right-wing parties are smart enough to know that every criticism, every scandal, every court case, every article - including this one - is liable to send visitors to their websites, which could help them recruit members and raise funds.

...Just a few weeks after the Modin quarantine, senior officials from across the government gathered in the basement of the West Wing to begin planning for the siege to come.

Perched on the new wing's third floor - with views of Frank Gehry's Jay Pritzker Pavilion - Terzo Piano is an indoor/outdoor Italian boîte as sleek as the museum itself. Designed by local architect Dirk Denison, Terzo Piano begins with a presentation kitchen at the entrance showcasing cheese, meats and salads. Further on, a clutch of 11 custom-designed mobile panels helps create individual dining zones that can contract and expand according to crowd levels. Smaller tables...
Nitzan Horowitz, a gay lawmaker from the left-wing Meretz Party, blamed the attack on "years of unremitting incitement from parliamentarians, rabbis and public figures." He added, "I attribute this to the general incitement and hate with which we have been contending for years in this community." Shas, however, was quick to condemn Saturday's killings. "We are shocked and bereaved, and denounce without reservation the murderous incident that targeted Tel Aviv's gay community," the party said in a statement. Israel's chief rabbis described the killings as "an unthinkable, vile crime...
