Wiesel Returns Hungarian Government Award

Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel said on Monday he is repudiating a Hungarian government award he received in 2004, because top officials in Budapest attended a ceremony for a Nazi sympathizer, according to a report in The Associated Press.The 83-year-old Holocaust survivor’s parents were sent to their deaths at Auschwitz by wartime Hungarian officials.

In a letter addressed to Hungarian House Speaker Laszlo Kover published by the Hungary-based MTI news agency on Monday, Wiesel criticized the Hungarian government for participating in attempts for the reburial of ethnic Hungarian author Jozsef Nyiro.

“It is with profound dismay and indignation that I learned of your participation, together with Hungarian Secretary of State for Culture Geza Szocs and far-right Jobbik party leader Gabor Vona, in a ceremony in Romania honoring Jozsef Nyiro, a member of the National Socialist Arrow Cross Parliament,” Wiesel said in the letter, as quoted by the news agency.

He added that he was outraged that Kover had participated in a ceremony honoring “a fascist ideologue of the [interwar Regent of Hungary Miklos] Horthy and Szalasi regimes”.

Wiesel was presented with the Republic of Hungary’s Order of Merit, Grand Cross, by president Ferenc Madl in 2004.

Jew Hunting Season Open in France by Guy Millière

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3119/jew-hunting-france These organizations remain blindly silent : for them, Muslims are “victims of racism” and therefore cannot be racist. France is presently prey to one of the worst waves of anti-Semitism in its history ; this wave is not receding, rather, it is intensifying. According to the annual report published by the Protection Service of […]

Germany: “Radical Salafism is Like a Hard Drug”by Soeren Kern

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3121/germany-radical-salafism In an effort to improve their image, the Salafists have removed from their “information booths” all literature about the role of women in Islam or the supremacy of Islamic Sharia law over democracy. The German translation of the Koran has edited out many of the verses which call on Muslims to make war on […]

ANDREW McCARTHY: A NATION OF PAPER NOT OF MEN….OBAMA’S ASSAULT ON THE CONSTITUTION

http://pjmedia.com/andrewmccarthy/2012/06/18/a-nation-of-paper-not-of-men/ In continuing the dramatic shift from American constitutional democracy to rule by executive fiat that has marked his tenure, President Barack Obama now claims that the illegal aliens, to whom he purports to grant what effectively is amnesty, are “Americans … in every single way but one — on paper.” That is false. They […]

FRANK GAFFNEY: CONSERVATIVES FOR SHARIA*****

http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/p19023.xml The rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East has caused many Americans to reflect on that group’s stated ambition to impose worldwide the totalitarian,supremacist Islamic doctrine known as shariah. Particularly unsettling is evidence of the group’s goal in America, namely of “destroying Western civilization from within,” as documented […]

THE EGYPTIAN MOSLEM BROTHERHOOD CANDIDATE WINS

Title: Mohammed Morsi Muslim Brotherhood Candidate Wins Egyptian Presidency Link: http://www.newenglishreview.org/blog_direct_link.cfm/blog_id/42572 While the world media breathed a sigh of temporary relief about the results of Greek elections, yesterday with little impact on the crises in the Euro Zone, the EU and world trade, they have yet to focus on the Presidential victory by Muslim Brotherhood […]

JED BABBIN: OBAMA’S STUTTERING COVERT WAR

http://spectator.org/archives/2012/06/18/obamas-stuttering-covert-war As Iran happily knows, covert operations are worthless if their substance and sponsor are made public. President Obama’s piecemeal approach to war reminds us of nothing at all. The Iraq withdrawal, the ongoing pullout from Afghanistan, the raid that killed Osama bin Laden and his now-publicized “kill list” program using drones to bomb individual […]

http://pjmedia.com/barryrubin/2012/06/18/and-now-it-begins-attack-from-egypt-signals-muslim-brotherhood-hamas-jihad-against-israel/ A well-organized, well-equipped group of terrorists has attacked Israel from Egyptian territory Monday morning, possibly the second such Egyptian-assisted assault in a week.

RICH BAEHR: OBAMA’S PREEMPTIVE STRIKE FOR THE LATINO VOTE

http://pjmedia.com/blog/obamas-preemptive-strike-for-the-latin-vote/?print=1 Barack Obama’s re-election campaign has had some rough moments the past few months. Mitt Romney has had a single-minded focus on the state of the economy and Obama’s poor performance in that area. Job growth has stalled and unemployment numbers remain high. Yet President Obama, in a news conference, seemed to be arguing that […]

MATTHEW VADUM: OBAMA’S PRE-ELECTION GIFT TO ILLEGAL ALIENS

http://frontpagemag.com/2012/06/18/obamas-gift-to-illegal-aliens/print/ In a move more imperial than presidential, President Obama last week granted what amounts to a kind of de facto citizenship to as many as 1.4 million young illegal aliens. From the Rose Garden of the White House on Friday Obama announced plans to bypass Congress and partially implement the so-called DREAM Act which […]
