Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Hungary: EU Parliamentarian blames immigration policy for rise of “radical Muslim antisemitism” in Europe

Feb 19, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Hungarian European Parliamentarian Balázs Hidvéghi declared this week that ‘radical Muslim antisemitism’ is on the rise in Europe thanks to massive illegal immigration.”

That admission also came from a least likely source: Angela Merkel…

In an eyebrow-raising moment during an interview with Israeli TV, ‘German Chancellor Angela Merkel, much-maligned for her open-door immigration policy,’ stated:

‘We now have another phenomenon, as we have refugees or people of Arab origin who bring another form of anti-Semitism into the country.’

Still, the far-Left points the finger at “populists” as the source of anti-semitism. It is, however, the far-Left and Islamic supremacists who most strenuously oppose the State of Israel while sympathizing with the Palestinian jihad. This is telling, and is clearly related to the scores of antisemitic Quran verses.

“Hungarian MEP: Rising Antisemitism in Europe Fueled by Illegal Immigration,” by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, February 14, 2020:

Hungarian European Parliamentarian Balázs Hidvéghi declared this week that “radical Muslim antisemitism” is on the rise in Europe thanks to massive illegal immigration.

Speaking in Strasbourg in a Parliamentary discussion on antisemitism, Mr. Hidvéghi insisted Europe must have “zero tolerance for antisemitism,” noting that this is the only suitable stance after the Second World War.

“There is full social and political consensus on this issue in Hungary,” said the MEP. “Members of the Jewish community live in safety, practice their religion and live their identities. Ensuring this is not only a constitutional obligation but also a moral obligation.”

Hidvéghi said the situation in Hungary stands in contrast to much of Western Europe, where waves of Muslim immigration have been accompanied by growing violence against Jews.

“We are proud to be flourishing in Hungary and today experiencing a renaissance of Jewish culture, with Jewish people and families feeling safe and caring for their heritage,” Hidvéghi said. “In contrast, violence and attacks against Jewish communities in Western Europe are on the rise.”

“While all such attacks must be firmly condemned and rejected, it must also be talked about that the emergence and spread of radical Muslim antisemitism in Europe contributes to the rise of anti-Semitic attacks,” he said.

“Attacks against Western European Jewry are therefore another reason for taking decisive action against illegal migration,” he concluded.

Mr. Hidvéghi’s remarks coincide with the analysis of David P. Goldman, who in a 2018 “Spengler” essay asserted Hungary stands out as uniquely safe for Jews, due in large part to its refusal to accept immigration quotas from the European Union.

While elsewhere in Europe Muslim migrants “are the sole source of violent attacks on Jews,” Hungary’s immigration policy makes it distinctly safe for Jews, he said.

“There are no risks to Jews because there are very few Muslim migrants,” Mr. Goldman stated bluntly.

“Hungary is the safest European country for Jews, with no antisemitic violence of any kind in recent years,” he said.

Jewish life isn’t just flourishing in Budapest, Goldman wrote, it’s “roaring,” and on any given Friday evening, Budapest’s synagogue hosts some two hundred people for dinner. About 100,000 Israelis have dual Hungarian citizenship and many Israelis own property in the country and vote in Hungarian elections.

    Orban and Hungary.
    Putin and Russia.
    Italy and Salvani.
    Trump and USA.

    The thing the above four lines have in common is what the rest of western nations need. NOW. Before it really is too late.

    ‘Radical’ ?? Is it really? Casual anti-Semitism is so common and acceptable among Muslims, it is considered to be ‘obvious’ and ‘common sense’ by Muslims. They do not even bother to investigate their anti-Semitism to see if there is a basis to it.

    Normative Islamic anti-Semitism is the issue where the ‘Red’ Leftards run smack into COGNITIVE DISSONANCE in their ‘Green’ Muslim allies in the matter of Jews and the Jewish homeland.

    The issue of Israel is the exposed sword of Islamic supremacism that Muslim ordinarily hide from the dirty kufaar.

    If you bring up the topic of a Jewish homeland, you will quickly force a Muslim to reveal his supremacism. They find it difficult to conceal their rage against Jews for stealing ‘Muslim’ land.

    Most Muslims are unaware that the Koran commands Jews to dwell in ‘The Land’ of Israel and they are unaware that ‘Jerusalem’ is not mentioned in the Koran.

      “Ninety per cent of Muslims have absolutely no idea about the Koran.”

        Alas, our problem is that all too many Muslims know *exactly* what is in the Qur’an.

    It is in the Koran! Commanded by Allah!

      Anti-Semitism, that is! No, the Koran does not give any other people the right to their own government anywhere. All but Muslims must be second class citizens, slaves or dead!

    ………………………..

    Balázs Hidvéghi is right. Kudos to him for speaking out!

    From the feature article:

    Finally, somebody said it!

    ”We now have another phenomenon, as we have refugees or people of Arab origin who bring another form of anti-Semitism into the country.”
    Now there’s a racist statement, blaming only Arabs for what is the fault of Islam. This is quite typical from someone of a religious background. All religions and their followers are good. If someone is bad it must be their country of origin or lack of religion that is to blame. Why are Merkel’s friends on the Left not speaking out about this?

    HERO Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban will go down in the history books as a HEROIC FREEDOM FIGHTER.

    Orban is an outstanding role model of excellence to the entire world as to what a leader should be — a leader who protects his own nation and people. Orban, his government, the Hungarian people and Hungary are lights in this dark world.

    What a blessing it would be to visit Hungary.

    LONG LIVE CHRISTIAN HUNGARY!
