In no way was the statement meant to delegitimize criticism of George Soros, who continuously undermines Israel's democratically elected governments by funding organizations that defame the Jewish state and seek to deny it the right to defend itself.Hungary's foreign ministry responded to Amrani's comments, saying, "just like Israel, Hungary too takes steps against anyone who represents a risk to the national security of the country and its citizens." On Monday, Israeli lawmaker Miki Zohar introduced legislation in the Knesset that would make it illegal for anyone to donate to an association or nonprofit in Israel after donating to any "organizations acting against Israel." Zohar said the bill is mainly aimed at organizations funded by Soros, but would affect any such organization, saying, "it's time to defund the left-wing organizations undermining the government, smearing Israel, and trying to detract from its right to defend itself." Orbán's chief of staff, János Lazar, assured Hungarian Jews that "the government is not criticizing George Soros for his Jewish origin" and that the goal is to stop Soros' migrant campaign. The move by Orbán's government follows President Trump's speech in Poland on the eve of the G-20 Summit in which he praised Poland's centuries-long struggle for national sovereignty against foreign oppression and said that Western civilization must defend itself against "those who would subvert and destroy it." The speech led to a leftist media meltdown in the U.S. and Europe, with the liberal Süddeutsche Zeitung pointing out that, apart from Hungary, no other nation would be as receptive to Trump's rhetoric as Poland.
Bombthrowers is a blog about politics and the war for the hearts and minds of Americans from a conservative viewpoint.
In line with our name, we do not hold back. We have a take-no-prisoners attitude when it comes to fighting for conservative principles. The Left doesn’t play nice, and that’s why they’ve been winning. It’s time for conservatives to rise up and turn the tide.
We’re not afraid to take on anyone, especially the Washington Establishment—Republican or Democrat.
