Joe Offer BS: Is Israel Anti-Semitic? (17) RE: BS: Is Israel Anti-Semitic? 17 Jul 17


OK, so can we apply some logic here?

At issue is a poster campaign supported by Hungary's prime minister, Viktor Orban, that has targeted Mr. Soros for his support of services for refugees and immigrants. I have a very poor opinion of Orban's anti-refugee policies, and I get the impression that I would consider Soros to be an honorable person.

The poster campaign, which has also attracted explicitly anti-Semitic graffiti, "evokes sad memories but also sows hatred and fear," said the ambassador, referencing the fate of Hungarian Jews in the Holocaust.

Hungary has a long history of anti-Semitism, so one would expect anti-Semitic graffiti to appear in Hungary.

Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, raised the stakes in this feud last week when his foreign ministry issued a statement that, in effect, backed a Hungarian government propaganda effort against Mr. Soros and joined its denunciation of him. I also have a low opinion of Mr. Netanyahu.

What can we conclude from all this? That Netanayahu and Orban have political differences with Soros.

To conclude more, would be silly.
