Orbán’s ally: Soros playing anti-Semitism card yet again – UPDATED
The co-ruling Christian Democrats (KDNP) said on Thursday that the Soros-led Open Society Foundations “is again playing the anti-Semitism card” against the Hungarian government in connection with its current poster campaign.
In connection with the ongoing National Consultation public survey billboards and posters displayed in public places showing images of Alex Soros and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, KDNP said in a statement: “As ever, when it comes to Hungary’s sovereignty and the National Consultation … Brussels unelected bureaucrats and the Soros organisations controlling them cry anti-Semitism and accuse Hungary of xenophobia.”
“It’s the left’s well-known trick: accuse your opponent of doing what in fact you yourself are doing,” it added. The party insisted that radical left-wing organisations supported by Soros and his foundations were behind demonstrations “sweeping through western European capitals which often openly celebrate the Hamas terrorist organisation”.
The Hungarian government has maintained zero tolerance of anti-Semitism and xenophobia since coming to power in 2010, the statement said, adding that Hungary was “one of Europe’s safest countries … in the world for Jews”. “We reject the left’s accusation of anti-Semitism,” it said, insisting that left-wingers themselves were “landlords of anti-Semitism”.

UPDATE: Joint statement on anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim bigotry
Zsolt Németh, the head of parliament’s foreign affairs committee, welcomed on Friday a joint statement on anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim bigotry issued by US Senator Ben Cardin, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, and 23 European foreign affairs committee chairs.
In the statement, the chairs condemn the “alarming rise” in anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim bigotry in their countries following Hamas’s attack against Israel last month. The statement is signed by the foreign affairs committee chairs of Armenia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, the European Parliament, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Norway, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine.
If the EU wants to find antisemitism in Europe, it can look to quite a few points west of Budapest to find places where Jewish people are being made to feel very unsafe in their own countries. Jewish people in Hungary, do not, as far as I know, need police protection to go to school or to their places of worship. That is far from the case in some bigger, more powerful EU countries I could mention.
One of the safest countries for Jewish people is Hungary.
The Soros organization probably finances pro terrorist hamas protest in the US. No Soros, their money or supporters should be allow to soil the country. The Soros family accepted Marxist philosophy and with their globalist friends, they want to control what you eat, wear and drive. The Soros family with their globalist friends want total control of the world and total obedience of all countries and all citizens.
If anyone should prove that they are not anti-Semitic it is the Soros family members and not Hungary.
Do either of you, or indeed anyone (including Governments, and this site) know what anti-Semitic means? A Semite is a person who speaks one of a number of a certain group of languages. A Semite is not a Jew. Arabs are semites, so anti-Semitic does not mean what everyone is making it mean.
