Hungary chooses Palestinian from Guantanamo “shortlist”

Hungary has chosen to receive a Palestinian national from a shortlist of three Guantanamo inmates, national daily Nepszabadsag reported on Wednesday.

Although no official decision has yet been announced, the paper said that the Palestinian inmate has been chosen over two Libyan prisoners after personal interviews with Hungarian officials.

The officials will recommend to the Hungarian government that the Palestinian candidate should be chosen, because he was seen as more “sociable” and showed more signs of a willingness to integrate into Hungarian society, the paper said.

Government spokesman Domokos Szollar told the paper that the ex-prisoner is expected to arrive towards the end of this year, and in the first phase of the integration programme, he will not be allowed to leave the country.

    willingness to integrate in Hungarian society!! Yeah right!
    Ofcourse! He wants to leave the prison as fast as possible….why doesn’t he go back to Palastine? Those guys are heroes there. Strange story!!
    So now Hungary will be the garbagecan for the West to dump non western immigrants.
    Let’s hope he will leave Hungary as soon as possible too…to western europe!

    How much Yankee Uncle Sam paying to dump this dross here?
    Germany exports its garbage here via corrupt officials. Breathe the putrefied air into your already damaged lungs any day of the week in Hungary
    courtesy of the twats who import and burn Deutchsland’s toxic waste!

    Because Israel does not allow it and he probably is state-less, meaning no passport.

    @ Viking;
    What did you just say? Is somebody stealing Vikings username?

  5. Viking says:

    No, this is me.
    What is wrong – the “TRUTH”?

  6. justasking says:

    @ Viking;
    I see nothing wrong with it. I’m just surprised that you would publicly admit that Isreal might have it’s hand in it. As for no passport, being State-less…of course he is HE”S A PALESTINIAN!

  7. Viking says:

    I have never been found of religious controlled states (Theocracy), like Israel and Iran.
    It is also no secret that Israel controls everything in the Gaza strip and the West Bank. Ask me, I have been there.
    I have been an Anti-Zionist for over 30 years, but I have no problems with Jews. For me this is not just a new name for being ‘antisemitic’. The latter I let your friends in Jobbik be.

  8. justasking says:

    @ Viking;
    Do you have any idea what you just said? Law, Ricsi and a whole shit load of other people are anti-zionist as well and they get attacked left right and centre… being call small minded “stupid, ignorant” Hungarians. I have yet to hear Law say anything against Jews per say only about “the establishment” and I agree!!
    So if you are anti-zionist, do we now call YOU a racist, facist son of a %$?

  9. Viking says:

    You still miss that part that for all Jobbik-types there is no difference between Zionists and Jews. They just changed the label, the meaning is still the same for them.

  10. justasking says:

    @ Viking;
    Okay, I’ll dance with you. So what party should I hang my hat with? I’m anti-zionist, Jews I have no issue with (when I go on the occational rant, I sometimes use the word Jew when I mean Zionist) I believe there is a problem with the gypsies, I do not agree with the living conditions I have seen some in, especially the children. I believe that they have an obligation to pull up their socks and start getting their shit together, just like Hungary has the same obligation to assist them in becoming more independent, through jobs, education etc, not throw more money at them. I believe that the Hungarian people should have more of a say in her own destiny by becoming the majority owners in various industries. I believe in freedom of speech, meaning I can believe what I want and when I want without fear of incarceration if I decide to have a conversation with friends in a cafe and end up being overheard.
    I do not hate anybody, okay maybe sometimes somebody will piss me off to the point where orange beams are coming out of my eyes; I will make generalizations sure who does’nt, but I would never advocate harming another soul. I believe that a person should blend ( not disappear)into the country that they are living in, that does not mean not celebrating your own heritage or religion, I’m just saying showing more respect to that countries culture, history etc.
    So now Viking, what party fulfils all those needs/beliefs that I have?

  11. Dry Ice says:

    Well sorry for your beautiful country,beacause of some “small” politicions you will become the garbige yard of Europe,see what has happened to France,soon will be a Muslem majority there.
    Now Hungary on behalf of the progressiveness, adopt
    terrorists.i can only say that this is a great oppotinity for Israel to become an excellent exporter of those shits,we have plenty of them.
    I oppose to Viking who thinks that Israel is controled religious country,in the contrary, Israel is the only democracy country in the Middle east.i disagree to the opinions of Viking when he says that he don’t hate Jews only zionists, Zion is Jerusalem in Hebrew and this word express the wishes of most of the Jews to live in Israel,most of them not all of them. but i must admit that he is not a racist “only” Anti-Zionist which mean that people in Israel are not legitimate citizens.

  12. justasking says:

    @ Dry Ice;
    But that is just the point… the people of Israel are not legitimate citizens. I really trying to understand how you figure that they are?
    As well, what does “Zionist” mean in Yiddish? As far as I can tell, is that not the difference between a “Jew” who speaks Hebrew and a “Zionist” who really speaks Yiddish, also known as American Jews?

  13. Law says:

    Here is the truth behind Anti semetic and Holocaust deniel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUGVPBO9_cA&feature=player_embedded#

  14. Dry Ice says:

    Justasking, you probably did not read my previous mail,cause i explained the differances between Jew and Zionist,there is alot of founlmentals religious jews that not belive in Zionizim,
    About the facts,if you determine that Israel is not a legitimate country, i just want to refresh your memory, year 1948 the UN resoulotion desided for establish an Indepandance county for the Jewish pepole.so this is the fact

  15. Kreston says:

    @Dry Ice – Since when did the Jewish People recognize UN resolutions.

    @ Law
    Watched the utube video. Found the comments following the video much more informative than
    the actual video.

    It appears the phrase anti-semitic has become very popular. So is calling someone Hitler – both GWB and Obama have been labeled as such.
    Now Alan Grayson enraged people by his correlation of the American Health care system to the holocaust.
    The worst of the worst racists are crawling out of the woodwork in the US because they cannot accept a brilliant black man to be their President.
    It seems that Jews and Blacks are convenient targets in a troubled economy.
    On anoter note – My understanding is that Zionists are supposed to be Jews who believe they are entitled to their own land. The Zionist movement has now been hijacked by the lunatic fringe of the Jewish people. Muslims, Christians, Republicans etc all have their lunatics – why not let Jewish people have them?

  17. justasking says:

    @ Dry Ice;
    So the “UN” in 1948 said that Jews are entitled to an independant state. Fine, was not Madgascar the island,what England reccomended/was to be given to them??? I believe, I’m not sure, but was it not a English colony, hence theirs to give away?
    Inturn, that area was rejected and the “Jews” demanded Palestinian land, which they were given at the cost of anothers freedom? So again, I ask you…how can you claim that Israel has legit citizenship?
    @ Olga;
    What does Obama’s skin colour have to do with some peoples “objection” to a socialist type Health Care System. Are you saying that everybody who goes against Obama is racist? Could it simply be that they just do not agree with him, brilliant or not? To say that “Blacks and Jews” are targets in a troubled economy gives me pause to think that if anybody, you have racist tendencies towards “white “people.
