Kaposvár holds commemoration in vandalized Jewish cemetery

By

A commemoration was held on Tuesday for the Jewish buried in Kaposvar in south-west Hungary whose graves were vandalised last week.

On July 22 vandals toppled 57 tombstones in the cemetery.

Laszlo Rona, head of the local Jewish community, said that such acts of vandalism are outrageous and should be condemned, irrespective of the victims’ religion. He expressed thanks to all who had participated in their restoration.

Zoltan Lomnici, president of the Council of Human Dignity which contributed 100,000 forints (EUR 360) to restoration works, said that “society as a whole should take a firm and unambiguous stand against these acts”.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban condemned the vandal act last week. In a letter addressed to Rona, he assured Rona that Hungary’s government guaranteed all citizens’ right to live undisturbed and without fear. Orban said he had instructed the interior minister to call to account those responsible for the incident without delay.

In an interview focusing on President Janos Ader’s visit to Israel, Ilan Mor, Israeli ambassador to Hungary, also spoke about the Kaposvar incident, and welcomed Orban’s statement on a policy of zero tolerance towards any forms of anti-Semitism.

    “and welcomed Orban’s statement on a policy of zero tolerance towards any forms of anti-Semitism.”…good….especially the zero tolerance part.

    Now we will see the lunatic Jobbik parade passing by on this thread and showing their narrow minded hatred once again. “Enjoy”…it will be pathetic though.

    So I guess we can rule out any investigation into the possibility of an attention seeking ‘false flag’ as is usually the case ???
    A few gravestones takes precedence over the whole economy.

      Is your “usually the case” based on firm evidence or it’s “usually the case” that Jobbik crackerjacks choose to believe that their supporters are all incapable of acts of violence or hatred (unless provoked) and only engage in peaceful and non-destructive protests?

  • ThE_WoRd

    Yea, Ricsi, a “false flag.” I’m sure that you are right. In order to f**k with the government and derail the economy, a bunch of Jews stayed up late one night, rode over to a cemetery, and knocked over some stones just to get people to feel sorry for them and to get some international attention. Didn’t former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic famously blame Sarajevans for bombing themselves just to gain some sympathy?

    • ricsi

      I did not say it WAS a false flag,just that nothing would suprise me anymore with these evil people.

      • Curious George

        Why don’t the Jobbos stake out these cemeteries? It’ll do wonders for Jobbik’s image, and more so, if you catch them in the act.

    No Magyar Gárda member has ever been arrrested.

      zero tolerance towards anti- Semitism VO said…so soon they will. I take him seriously here. Apart from the fact that you are lying.

  • ricsi

    I am simply basing my comment on the fact that the ‘chosen ones’ have lied too often in the past so that now I can NOT believe anything they say,sorry but if you repeatedly lie and are caught out people will turn against you,NO??

      Anti-semitism is so 1930s. Even your bigotry is out-of-date. Real countries know that real bigots are anti-Muslim because of the whole 9/11, terrorist thing, and something about demographics and honour killings. But no, Hungary can’t even get its prejudices right.

      To say, some people from a race lied, therefore, the rest lie, is just one of the stupidest, most illogical things I’ve heard. By that logic, then I can’t believe anything any Hungarian says after what I read here. But if I remember correctly, you Ricsi, are not even Hungarian. Australian, wasn’t it?

    Meanwhile in Libya, the “rebels” (read NWO fighters) freely knocked down hundreds of Christian Graves.

    on youtube, search for
    “British war graves in Libya desecrated by Salafi militants”

    That is allowed, however when somebody (probably an inside job, maybe even Mr Slomó Köves himself) knocks down some graves of the Chosen Ones, that is suddenly a huge crisis.

    Hey, I have an idea, Israel is safe for J@ws, they have their own country, so why don’t they fck off there?

    • Cnut

      Desecrating graves is just a cheap cowardly act, whereever and to whomever it is done.

      I know you must have some learning difficulties, and I admire the way you really try to function in normal society, but completely unrelated people desecrating completely unrelated graves, doesn’t excuse the current incident. Do you honestly believe people broke into their own graveyard and desecrated their own graves of their own families in a bid to get sympathy? Do you honestly believe that?

      @Maygar – have you taken your Risperdal today? Please increase your dosage to 2 pills x 3 times/daily with immediate effect.

  • ricsi

    Because its too easy to lie,cheat and extort from Europe still.

  • Paul

    Now we will see the lunatic Jobbik parade passing by on this thread and showing their narrow minded hatred once again. “Enjoy”…it will be pathetic though.

    and we are not ready yet…more to come. Wait and see…I present…the LUNATIC fringe….go ahead guys!!

    • ricsi

      Your simple naivity is what we dislike,your sort are so cocooned in your little world that you can never see the big picture,so sad actually,and you do have my sympathy.

      • Gypsy Joe

        A few beers in September Rich?Will give you a bell when I get there.

        • ricsi

          Make sure you do !

  • Yet more anti-Semitism

    @Magyar: Telling Jews to f*ck off is not the way to go. How about telling all Christians to f*ck off to Vatican City then? Jews are still people, where does it say only Christians can live in Hungary? Bloody-minded extremists like you who are prejudiced against people over their religion really shouldn’t be given a right to free speech.

    @Ricsi: Tell me, how have we lied? How are we ‘evil people’? We try to live peacefully, like normal people, and people like you and “Magyar” constantly verbally attack us over things we’ve never done.

    • Magyar

      Look, if you don’t like it in Hungary, then go somewhere else :)

      And for your information, I don’t think that the Szent Korona appreciates non-Christians.
      Hungary will become a Királyság once again, the Szent Korona’s wishes must be fulfilled.

      And your religion is not the main problem (but the Talmud does have sick stuff in it), however this is the problem:

      • Magyar

        By the yet again, you have proven what your kind are really like.
        You preach equality and freedom, yet at the same time you violently supress anyone who disagrees with you.

        Its like Budhist pacifists who kill anyone that opposes pacifism.

        Let me guess, you are also a pacifist; except when it comes to torturing and killing right wingers? LOL

    re: .Telling Jews to f*ck off is not the way to go. How about telling all Christians to f*ck off to Vatican City then?\n
    Don’t quite see your logic – most Christians have no connection to the Vatican city and would not consider it their home but Jew*ish people have ties including the language with the countries they and their ancestors were born in for centuries.

    I hope that you spend equal time arguing with lat earth society members trying to convince them the earth is not flat, as you spend trying to convince the low lives and the deranged on this website that you are not evil people.

    No offense but are you crazy to try and engage them in a rational debate about the not-debatable? If the answer is yes, maybe you could add another nut case to your list to debate with. Tell get real that ethnic Hungarians cannot *uck off and go home because they are home.
