Jew-Hating Hungarians

Behind the veneer high culture and sophistication, the eurotrash are savages. This type of thing is unheard of at American sporting events, but occurs with regularity at European soccer matches. As to the laughable claim that antisemtic chants at the Israeli team is due to Israel government policies, no such chants are heard against teams from islamic countries who's regimes commit horrific human rights atrocities. Their target of hatred is against the only free, civilized country in a region of unspeakable barbarity.  This is the perverse and morally depraved mindset of Europeans. Is it any wonder that islam has easily gotten such a foothold on the continent. Eurpeans can't even muster the wherewithal to defend themselves. As to the waving of Iranian flags, the Hungarians and the rest of the eurotrash haven't got the message that these islamic supremacists will have their nukes aimed at them as well.

The leader of Hungary's far-right Jobbik party has criticized the international soccer federation’s decision to ban Hungarian fans from attending the World Cup qualifying game between Hungary and Romania in March.

The Federation of International Football Associations punished the fans over their anti-Semitic chanting by fans during a friendly at-home game against Israel last August. The Hungarian fans also waved Iranian flags at the Israeli players, who were warned of a "severe threat" to their safety.

Jobbik leader Gábor Vona said the ban was unprecedented and accused FIFA of interference.

"This sanction comes at the time of such a crucial match — we feel this is unprecedented and the international football association is thus interfering in the final results," Vona said on Wednesday.

He said racist chanting was usual at international matches, and blamed Israel's foreign policies for the hostile reaction its players had received.

"I cannot imagine that Israel would go to any place in the world for a football match and there would be no criticism of Israel's policies in the football stadium stands," he said.

Meanwhile, the Hungarian Football Association has said it will appeal against FIFA's decision.

Hungary and Romania, who meet on March 22, are locked on nine points from four games, three behind group leaders Netherlands and six ahead of any challengers for second spot.

Hungary's national sports daily ran a full front-page image on Wednesday headed "Locked out!" and called the decision "shocking," while fan pages on social media sites exploded with condemnations of FIFA and its leaders, often repeating anti-Semitic slurs.

Last November, one Jobbik leader, Márton Gyöngyösi, urged the government to draw up lists of Jews who posed a "national security risk," stirring outrage among Jewish leaders who saw echoes of fascist policies that led to the Holocaust.

Between 500,000 and 600,000 Hungarian Jews died in the Holocaust, according to the Holocaust Memorial Center in Budapest. According to some accounts, a third of Jews killed in Auschwitz were Hungarian nationals.
