US envoy on anti-Semitism says attitudes towards minorities in Hungary should be monitored

By

The Hungarian government should immediately and firmly condemn all forms of anti-Semitism, US State Department Hannah Rosenthal declared in Budapest on Friday.

Rosenthal, the US special envoy for anti-Semitism, spoke after talks with government commissioner Levente András Gál.

Gál said they discussed ways of establishing a monitoring system that can provide a realistic picture by international standards of whether anti-minority or anti-Semitic phenomena exist in Hungary and in what form.

He told Rosenthal that a committee of historians is being formed to evaluate the history of the Carpathian Basin in the 20th century.

    ‘The Hungarian government should immediately and firmly condemn all forms of anti-S*mitism, US State Department Hannah Rosenthal declared in Budapest on Friday’

    How about condemning countries, who finance countries, so that they can continue the Worlds longest Military Occupation? Or, how about condemning countries who refuse to follow International Laws? Countries who stand between lasting peace, cause they can’t help but press that ‘veto’ button?

    Would addressing and actually DEALING with all of these aforementioned issues, not help significantly lower anti-S*mitism Worldwide as well?

    I say, the US should put their money ( as little as they do have) where their mouth is, and become a leader in this cause.

    Be the example and show us how it’s done!!!
