even if hungary was 100% antijewish, who cares> israel could destroy Hungary totally in 48 hours and that applies to belgium, norway and sweden even if they have ideas. France would be next. The main problem is for israel to rid itself of tsipi livni, an olmert relic, herzg, gal on and lapid and shas. Likud would do well to boot out bibi who comes from the ehud barak school of concessions.
2. The Hungarians!
Phil ,   NYC   (05.24.14)
My father may he rest in peace was a survivor. He came from Translyvania. The area he lived in was the same area as Elie Weisel. My father's area was originally part of Hungary. When he was born it was part of Rumania, and the people living there were ethically Hungarian, but citizens of Rumania. His exact quote was for a price you could deal with the Rumanians, but the Hungarians were just plain vicious. History keeps proving that out. Learn from history. Never Again!.

My late Mother survived Auschwitz, most of her extended family did not. She was from Hungary and among the large number of Hungarian Jews brutally transported by cattle car to the camps. Not much seems to have changed. No, it's not the election of Jobbik that has caused this resurgence, it's always there, just like in Spain
4. Hungary is a fascist country; the Arrow Cross never died

The Nazis could never have carried out the slaughter of Hungarian Jews without the very active participation of the local Hungarian population. Hungarians wrote down the list of Jews in their communities and actively collected Jews and put them on the trains bound for Auschwitz. Hungarians kept murdering Jews till the last moment, shooting them into the river Danube, until Budapest was completely occupied by the Soviets. Hungary has always been profoundly anti-Semitic and will remain so for the foreseeable future.
5. so what?
Dovi ,   Haifa   (05.24.14)
Now we have Israel - and these 100000 Jewish Hungarians are more then welcome to come home! Why stay in a place that doesn’t want you when someone else, on the other side of the Mediterranean rejoices at the return of a single Jewish life? Other nations have many homes... We Jews have one... And we will wait until you are ready to come home - in the mean time we are building a nation so beautiful & successful that all our hardships & failures seem so insignificant... Come home when you are ready. Regards Israeli

Most of this Jewish loud-mouths lecturing Hungarians today are the descendants of Stalin's goons responsible for terrorizing and oppressing that nation for decades after WWII leading to Hungarian uprising that resulted with tens of thousands of dead and wounded and quarter of million refugees ,...

Ever heard or read about Eichmann - Kastner deal ? ,... By the way Kastner represented zionist handlers in Palestine ,...

The deal was in a form of promise to save 1600 Zionist relatives for the price to keep quiet and keep 600 000 Hungarian Jews in the dark in regard to the real destination the trains they boarded. Officially Hungarian Jews were convinced that they being relocated to Judeopolonia carved for them in the eastern part of occupied Poland in reality the destination was Birkenau a part of Auschwitz. For more on this subject google 'Rudolf Vrba' ,... Officially Kastner was assassinated in 1955 by pissed off Hungarian Jews, in reality who knows... he knew to much ,...
9. Hungary sheltered Jews, tried to surrender, until May 1944
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.25.14)
"In 1921 Budapest, 88% of the members of the stock exchange and 91% of the currency brokers were Jews, many of them ennobled. In interwar Hungary, more than half and perhaps as much as 90 percent of Hungarian industry was owned or operated by a few closely related Jewish banking families." -Wikipedia
10. Hungary is sick beyond repair
Eric R. ,   USA   (05.25.14)
Israel should take one of the smaller cities without Jews, like Szeged or Debrecen, and use it for nuclear target practice.

Márton ,   Budapest   (05.26.14)
why do you think you're better than any European right-wing extremist? Believe me, their comments are exactly like yours. You're the live proof that xenophobia and religious hatred know no borders.

As usually the scatter-brained pinhead Split regurgitate the same hatful lies. I just want to mention two of his lies, else the time is not sufficient to contradict that idiot brainless Nazi. I was born in that country and I was a youngster during that time, and as such I know that they were Jews among the Communist party members in Hungary after the second WWII, but the vast majority were not Jewish The Jewish population of Hungary about 5% was reduced to 2%, and immediately half of that number left Hungary at the end of WWII, thus about slightly more than 100,000 Jews left in that country of 10 million residents. Split most likely counts the Jewish babies among the communist suppressors. Kastner saved a group of Hungarian Jews by bribing the Nazi German officers in charge of the deportation of the Hungarian Jewry. After the war he emigrated to Israel. He was killed by an Israeli Jew who was not from Hungary at all, and he lost nobody in the Holocaust. So Split-brained moron, keep spitting your anti-Jewish venom, by this time everybody knows you are just a dirty liar.

Coincidently the people that knew the details how the Hungarian Jews got screwed by their homies, Kastner presumably got shot by Jewish vigilantes, Eichmann got caught and executed in Israel, Wallenberg disappeared without trace, Vrda was tagged insane by zionists ,... No witnesses, no case ,...

Eric R. ,   USA   (05.26.14)
What a morally depraved idiot you are when you compare Jews trying to survive with their savage murderers. You display the moral sickness of the European left. And finally - these "far-right" parties are NOT FAR RIGHT! They hate capitalism, are also pro-Palestinian, and believe in big totalitarian government (UKIP being the exception). They are FAR LEFT.

You must have made a mistake in the talk-back number. I agree with you in 100%. Please correct the number.

Can you imagine the yelping circus if any of Jobbik members demanded or even suggested to nuke any of Israeli cities? There's no shortage of brain dead idiots among this forum.

Béla Kun (Béla Kohn) a Jewish commie with the help of Soviets established Hungarian Soviet Republic the second Communist government in Europe that ended in blood bath a few months later because it wasn't what the Hungarians wanted after an Austrian occupation. To have a control over post WWII Hungary Stalin installed a regime (just like in any other Soviet dominated countries) run almost entirely by Jews. The Communist terror machinery was ruled by Matyas Rakosi, Ernest Gero, Michael Farkas and Joseph Revai. The AVH, a Hungarian equivalent of the NKVD (KGB) the bloodiest enterprise ever created, was headed by Gabor Peter also a Jew. Their departments were staffed by their fellow trusted Jews creating a situation that eventually lead to an uprising and national tragedy in '56 ,... you wrote: "Kastner saved a group of Hungarian Jews by bribing the Nazi German officers in charge of the deportation of the Hungarian Jewry". Shameless lie, Kasner 'negotiated' directly with Eichmann, read Rudolf Vrba's book 'Escape from Auschwitz: I Cannot Forgive' or google 'Hannah Arendt and the Hungarian Jews' for article by Michael Smith and read ,...
