Guests visiting from Israel should always be aware of the fact that there are also examples of transgressions against human rights in their own country, and that they, for this reason, have no right to criticize other countries. Criticism from Jews is not generally accepted in Austria. You realize, of course, that this little Austrian peculiarity can be explained through the difficult history of Jewish-Austrian relations. Guests visiting from the EU should not have any problems while travelling through Austria as long as they realize that criticism of individual Austrian politicians will be understood as a vicious attack on the entire country. Please regard this somewhat irrational response as a charming part of the local culture.
People of colour are, of course, also welcome as guests.
There have never been any attacks or any examples of police violence in Austria and there never will be. But even our guests from Africa should understand that Austrians must protect their children from drugs, and that the new government will be especially challenged in this respect. The above tips are of course without guarantee. These sensitive topics are subject to seasonal change. We hope, in any case, with this advice to have dispersed any unfounded fears that paying guests might have.
