...The Swiss Jewish leader acknowledged that Jews have had problems with all the Swiss political parties.

With the Greens, for example, when two of their MPs retuning from a trip to Iran said they do not believe Tehran had any intention to use the atomic arm.


He also pointed to the "strong pro-Palestinian position" of the Greens.


"They organize and attend almost all anti-Israel demonstrations," he said.


The Jewish community, he added, has had the same problem with the Socialist party, in particular with Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey whose statements "are always unbalanced and pro-Palestinian." "At every occasion, the Greens and Socialists call for a boycott of Israeli products," he said.
