Rabbi rejects debate challenge from Jobbik’s Vona

Excerpt Via algemeiner.com 

“Here is a party which makes openly anti-Semitic comments,” he said, “what is there to debate about?”

“They say they want to have an open talk, but in every debate you need a point of agreement, I can’t have a mathematical debate if you don’t agree that 1 and 1 is 2 and 2 and 2 is four,” he continued, “they consider certain extreme ideas as facts than what should I debate them on?”

    typical whimp of a jew, not allowed to question, the jewish history is built on lies which he is scared will be exposed by jobbik.

        “they consider certain extreme ideas as facts than what should I debate them on?”

        If you consider the Torah as absolute truth, you are
        obviously not prepared for a reasonable debate.
        This is our country, have some respect or at least keep your opinions to youself.
        We have some serious problems of our own, don’t need your
        constant whining about “nazis” and “anti-semitism”.
        This country is divided already, we have no use for arrogant minority groups. Why can’t we all just get
        along, and be Hungarians?

    What a lame excuse this Rabbi has proclaimed.

    This rabbi is afraid of debate, afraid of peoples opinions other then his own. If he can’t even debate his proclaimed enemies (imagery)what gives him or any of his kind the right to label Jobbik or Hungarians?.

  • proud to think

    sorry, but the hungarians every time regraet that there is no “great hungary” anymore and the problem is that to show that they are “big” they must be against the minorities.
    the hungarian jews see themselfs as hungarians too, its just the opinion of the far right leeders that they arent good for the state.
    stop regreat every time that the versailles contract made of hungary a little state and become a little state who become respect from the bigger states around them, take an example on israel and show all the million hungarians who live on romanian, serbian…. terytory that they can be proud of their origins.
    The best episode of the hungarian history was the time of the austro-hungarian monarchy where a certain liberalism and unity with the minoritys was there. reclaim loosen territorys where even today live millions of hungarians, with the explanation that nation have the right to have a state.

      “the hungarian jews see themselfs as hungarians too”

      Some of them do and some of them clearly don’t.

    @Proud,

    ‘take an example on i*rael’

    On what pray tell? How to say ‘International Law applies to all but us’? Or how about ‘How to maintain the World’s longest Military Occupation’?

    Should we hold up their stellar Human Rights record and follow that as a guide?

    But, I must ask…aside from having been born in Palestine…what did this group of people ever do, to deserve this fate that Israel has forced upon them?

  • olga

    @ JA

    Two questions:

    1. Why exactly are we in I*srael again?

    2. What was the subject of the debate in question? (That JOBBIK represents neo-Nazi ultra right wing bunch of lunatics? The answer is yes, debate over but maybe the topic was different. Too bad it was never disclosed)

    • Leto. مؤدّب

      It wasn’t me who you asked but I could easily answer the first one: Because ja answered to that when “proud to think” tried to set Israel as a positive example for ethnic accordance…

    • justasking

      @Olga,

      ‘Two questions..’

      Allow me to answer both questions at once:

      ‘proud to think says:

        @Olga,

        Sorry, let me clarify my response to your second question…I*raels present Government, is comprised of a bunch of ‘ultra-right winged lunatics.

        As for the debate topic, I don’t know what it was supposed to be about.

  • Big Fish

    Here’s a perfect public opportunity and venue to put Jobbik in its place and become a hero. Why doesn’t he take it? The rabbi’s reasoning is not acceptable.

    • ricsi

      Because despite what you think,Jobbik speaks the truth and the truth hurts!

  • Cnut

    You don’t go to a mental asylum and argue with the inmates. It is counter-productive and frustrating, except maybe for the patients because someone listens to their insane delusions.

    No doctor would advise going there to debate them.

    And Jobbik are seriously deranged – cuckoo-cuckoo crazy.

  • freedom

    Who is this red-headed lobster looking freak? He looks more anti-Semitic then Goebbels.
