Hungary has zero tolerance of anti-semitism also as it applies to terrorism-supporting demonstrations, the state secretary for international communications said on the X social media platform on Thursday.
Zoltán Kovács responded to a recent post by US Ambassador David Pressman, and said it was not simply that “Jews are not assaulted on the streets” of Hungary. “Jewish life is enjoying a renaissance in Hungary,” Kovacs said.
“The harder you try, the more unsavoury it becomes, Mr. Ambassador. The time when anyone took your allegations of anti-semitism seriously is over,” he added.
Kovács asked Pressman if he had seen what is happening in his own country, on university campuses, for example. “No one can treat seriously your trying to teach us lessons,” he added.
US Ambassador David Pressman said at the ZsiFi Budapest Jewish and Israeli Film Festival that the Hungarian government would post billboards depicting a grinning, Jewish billionaire domineering over Hungary warning, “let’s not let Soros have the last laugh.” “Or posters of the same Jewish billionaire controlling politicians with puppet strings. Or, most recently, that same Jewish billionaire’s son shadowing the President of the European Commission. We don’t need to pin a yellow star on to these posters to understand the context in which they are published and the meaning behind the imagery. It doesn’t take a film critic to understand one of the stories these posters — in this country and in this context — are conveying.
Anti-semitism is not defined by the physical safety of Jews. That is a grotesquely low bar, the most basic responsibility of any government, for all of its people. But the fact is that anywhere anti-Semitism is allowed, or sometimes even encouraged, Jews are not secure. Some may conflate physical safety with security, but they are different. ” Read his full speech HERE.

Mr. Soros being Jewish is just convenient – makes for an even more effective dog whistle.
Give up the rhetoric Pressman. No Hungarian is interested in the hatred you spew. Hungarians are counting the days when reasonable republicans will be in charge of the US government.
The two-faced Pressman forgot to tell Hungarians the child molester Epstein was also Jewish. I be my last cent on Pressman would not and did not defend Epstein (unless Pressman visited Epstein’s notorious island) if the Hungarian government would put his face on billboard that said, “watch out for smooth child molesters”.
Hungarian Jewish people are loved and protected. All Hungarian lives matter.
Soros and his family are doing a war dance because the family did not manage to gain total control of the country. The Soros family is particularly upset with Hungary since one of the Soros sons is an avid LGBT etc. member and Hungary protects children from predators.
Maybe it’s just me, but billionaires tend to not be angels. Also, unlike Jews in Western countries they may be afraid about being killed or targeted due to the conflict in Israel and Palestine. I’m sure Jews in Hungary don’t have to worry about being killed.
The Reasonable Republicans voted to remove Mr. Trump protégé Mr. Santos because of his incessant lies. However, more than half of the House Republican caucus, and most of its leaders, stood by Mr. Santos, and Mrs. Taylor-Greene even called his expulsion “shameful”. So, not very likely that they will ever acknowledge The Big Lie (that the election was “stollen” from Mr. Trump). Can´t wait for the Netflix series.
Re the Big Lie – Mr. Trump insisted there was no Russian election interference (Mr. Putin had assured him!) … However, his attorneys are now invoking the fact (FACT) Russia was found to have interfered, as part of their court filings. They argue The Big Lie could have been the honest result of trying to safeguard the integrity of the US election results…

Let’s cozy up to Mr. Putin some more?
Dear Norbert, no empirical data was ever revealed that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, that does not mean that there was no interference. The information coming out of the CIA is questionable; previously, 50 CIA and ex-CIA employees signed a letter stating that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian misinformation. Russian’s interference is tantamount of EU’s interference in Hungarian elections.
You are right Santos was removed from the House of Congress. However, Menendez, who is under suspicion for espionage was not. According to US laws, everyone is innocent until guilt is proven in a court of law. Therefore, Santos is innocent. The next election is in 2024, I would have preferred to let the voters decide unless a court sentenced Mr. Santos. You will not be surprised that I agree with Taylor-Green.
