Hungarian Police Combats the Jews
04.06.2009 Hungarian police combats the Jews
"Taking into account the prevailing situation in our country, we say: Anti-Semitism is not just a right, but the sacred duty of every Hungarian patriot, and we must be prepared for an armed struggle with the Jews." This is a
quotation from a booklet, published by the organization which calls itself "The Union of Ready to ActHungarian policemen."
Hungarian legislation allows police officers to form trade unions. However, such organizations have to protect the professional interests of its members, rather than take part in political activities. But the law does not prohibit the unions to distribute leaflets and brochures. The content of such publication is the prerogative of the editor.
The editor of the "Ready for Action" union's brochure Judith Sima (also the Secretary General of this trade union) does not see anything seditious in the content of the appeal quoted above. Not surprisingly, the union has signed a cooperation agreement with the far-right party "Yobbik" ("The Movement for a better Hungary"), which is fighting the "Gypsy crime," is trying to terrorize the Hungarian Roma community, as well as Jews of the country and even all those whom the nationalists do not like.
On the forthcoming election to the European Parliament, which will be held in Hungary on June 7, Sima serves as the candidate of the "Yobbik" party. Before the election, she was dismissed from the police, but has still maintained the
position of the secretary general in the police union.
The article's author, calling on every Hungarian patriot to become an anti-Semite, does not stop there. In the next issue of the trade unions pamphlet the same author writes: "I stand for peaceful solutions. But a peaceful solution
is possible only if our Zionist government moves to Tel Aviv, because they are the ones who unleash the war."
"Torn apart by the Hungarian-Roma civil war, the country can easily be taken in hand by the rich Jews," continues the author of the article. "That is why we need to be prepared for the Hungarian-Roma civil war, which is incited by the Jews."
The brochure of union leaders has not remained unnoticed, and a claim was addressed to the prosecutor's office, accusing the authors of inciting inter-ethnic strife. However, the Prosecutor's Office dismissed the claim,
stating that the article does not call for violence against Gypsies or Jews, but rather the opposite - it calls to protect yourselves from the possible attacks by members of these ethnic groups.
The situation with the "Ready for Action" union is a clear indication of the growth of racist and anti-Semitic sentiment in the state structures of Hungary. For example, the union includes 4 thousand people - 10 percent of the entire staff of the Hungarian police. In Budapest, this percentage is even higher.
Certainly not all members of the union share the racist views of the ideologues and leaders of the movement (as a rule, people join a union just to protect their own rights). However, the Hungarian authorities and the justice system can not (or do not want to) draw a line between the human rights protection activity of the police union and its tendentious political activity, the Israeli newspaper "Haaretz" writes.
For example, after the recent resignation of the Prime Minister of Hungary Ferenc Dyurchan, the Chairman of the Central Bank of Hungary, a great economist, but unfortunately, a Jew, Dyerd Schurani became one of the candidates for the position. So, the center-right Party "Hungarian Democratic Forum" published on the first page of its brochure published a collage with Schurani's face,
surrounded by a yellow Star of David, together with the inscription: "Schurani's candidacy is supported by the old Shimon Peres. The deal on the transfer of power, declared by the Israeli president, has already reached the point, when a Jew is needed as prime minister of Hungary. The transaction has already been prepared for months." The center-rights hinted at earlier statement by Peres about the success of Israeli economy: "We are buying off Manhattan, Poland, Hungary..."
The key reason for the insolvency of Hungarian authorities to combat racism and anti-Semitism in the country lies in the fact that the government consists of many right-wing elements, secretly or openly advocating racist views, "Haaretz" reports. In addition, the values of democracy, established in the socialist Hungary in the early 1990's, are sometimes not quite correctly interpreted by Hungarian legislators, who see freedom of speech as the most important
achievement of modern Hungary. At the same time, the legislators do not take much care to protect those who are victims of abuse of this freedom.
