Hungarian official holds talks with American Jewish leaders, officials; seeks clampdown on anti-Semitic content aimed at Hungarians from US

By

Hungarian government commissioner Andras Levente Gal held talks with US government officials and Jewish leaders on renewing Jewish organisations and institutions in Hungary and setting up a system for monitoring anti-Semitic and anti-minority phenomena, the Ministry of Justice told MTI on Wednesday.

During a two-day visit, Gal met Marie L. Yovanovitch, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, Tomicah Tillemann, senior advisor to the Department of State, Elizabeth Nakian, deputy director of Office of Holocaust Issues, Hannah Rosenthal, special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism, and leaders of the Jewish community, the ministry said in a statement.

Gal spoke about efforts to set up the monitoring system which would “provide an authentic picture about anti-Semitic and anti-minority phenomena as well as the social approach and institutional reactions to them,” the statement said.

Gal asked the US side to examine the ways and means of clamping down more efficiently on media outlets providing anti-Semitic content for Hungarian readers through US-based servers.

MTI (Magyar Távirati Iroda) is the Hungarian news agency.

    hmmm he we go … this is a classic example of dictatorship by the minority… another example how democracy is a joke, always has been… the thought police are coming to Hungary..

  • Géza

    yes that is true, the thought police is coming to Hungary.

    Political correctness that destroyed american life, is now to be implemented in our country! They will achieve one thing with this, that the hate all over the world will grow against the USA more and more.

    Who is in charge in Hungary, the US? Or are some people right about that some j#ws are pulling the strings in Hungary after all?

    Shame on the hungarian government to work with these people to enslave us!

    Lantos has her own very special agenda and struggles to keep the dollars rolling in to support her so called ‘foundation’

    She spews utter nonsense in the press and is probably responsible for an increase in anti Jewish feeling!

    • Pete H.

      Here is part of her nefarious agenda –

      Front Line Fund Grand in support of: Efforts to mitigate environmental and health dangers caused by the Red Sludge disaster in order to ensure conditions of decency for those affected.

    • Pete H.

      Or how about this:

      Initiatives for China

      Mission: “A peaceful transition to democratic governance in China.”

      Front Line Fund Grant in Support of: Raising awareness of forced evictions including the use of “black jails” for those who seek redress.

      Or this:

      South-East Asia Investigations into Social and Humanitarian Activities

      Mission: “To ensure justice and the protection of human rights for victims of human trafficing, bonded labour, physical and sexual assault and other forms of exploitation and oppression in South East Asia.”

      Front Lind Grant Fund in support of: Promoting justice for victims of human

      Or this:

      International Uyghur Human Rights and Democracy Foundation

      Front Line Fund Grant in support of: Promoting IUHRDF’s mission to pormote human rights, religious freedom, and democracy for the Uyghur people.

      Just a few examples of her agenda.

        @Pete H,

        ‘Gal spoke about efforts to set up the monitoring system which would “provide an authentic picture about anti-Semitic and anti-minority phenomena’

        Really? Fantastic!!!!

        But, but…’how about this’…I can’t remeber off the top of my head, if I read this from a UN report, or an Amnesty International one…anyhow, did you know, the only way that I*rael, can keep their attacks and suppression of Palestinian people, ‘up to date and going strong’ is because of the taxpayer monies and ‘gifts’ of weaponry, sent to them by the United States of America’s.
        ———-

        And ‘did you know’, that every year, the same question is voted upon at the UN whether to go with a 2 state solution, towards this ‘issue’ of ‘minority rights’ of the P*lestinians? And guess what? EVERY YEAR, the vote is split the same way.

        On one side, we have the ’2 state solution’ advocates (the entire world) on the other side, the ‘no 2 state solution’…US, Israel and about 5 banana republics that I have never heard of.

        So, before you send those troops to Hungary to instruct them on ‘how too, and how too not’ handle ‘anti this or anti that’ issues, tell your people, to clean up their own backyard first, when it come to crimes against humanity.

        You know…the one you all fund?!

        But, before you go on about ‘relevance’ and how this is a website dedicated ONLY towards Hungarians ‘issues’..this become ‘relevant’, when the country introduced into play, has a shitty reference….like the US of A

    Nothing that multi-million dollar annual payments to the Holocaust rememberance fund wouldn’t resolve.

    …or another round of Nuremburg trials- and sentance enforcement.
