According to foreign minister Szijjártó, to be anti-Israel is to be anti-semitic
Change language:
The anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic developments seen in western Europe and in the United States would be “totally inconceivable” in Hungary, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said on Monday, adding that “conditions for a peaceful coexistence are fully ensured” in the country.
Szijjártó held a joint press conference with Israel Katz, his Israeli counterpart, and expressed deep concern over increasing anti-Israeli tendencies in international organisations.
“Israel is entitled to fair and equal treatment in international organisations,” the foreign ministry quoted Szijjártó as saying, adding that the Hungarian government had always thwarted “unilateral, biased attacks and statements against Israel, and will continue to do so in future.”
Mounting modern-age anti-Semitism in Europe “is the result of an absolutely irresponsible migration policy, under which a vociferous minority can often override the will of a quiet majority,” Szijjártó said.
The minister said criticism of Hungary over anti-Semitism “by countries … who should at least keep quiet” was “absolutely shocking”.
The upcoming Hungarian European Union presidency would strive to “restore cooperation between the EU and Israel to the level of mutual respect,” Szijjártó said, urging the sides to conduct a dialogue and “suppress the tone of reprimanding and lecturing”. He added the Hungarian presidency would make preparations for association talks between the EU and Israel “in that spirit”.
Szijjártó said the Middle East crisis had had a big impact on global security and warned that the Gaza conflict could “easily become a global threat”. “Moreover, should the Gaza crisis and the war in Ukraine somehow be interconnected … we could face the real possibility of a global war,” he said.
Oh dear, this guy just open the mouth to say bs. As usual in the Hungarian mindset, he believes he is always right. It doesn’t matter is thousands of children are being killed, the goal justify the means. The good thing is, the most of the world doesn’t even know about him, only the people in Hungary with some brain need to withstand his silly comments all the time.
“thousands of children are being killed”: There’s your modern Left’s new anti-Semitic trope. We used to put gentile kids’ blood into our Passover matzot; now we just kill them by the thousand. Says it all.
Who is responsible for the deaths in Gaza, it is hamas. The terrorists’ supporters are used as human shields. Jose, you are mentioning children, well, why are the adult males surviving because the men run and hide leading children behind.
