Anti-Semitism Still Alive and Doing Well in Hungary


Sometimes the more things change the more they stay the same. That seems to be the case in Hungary, as the article below by Gulliver Cragg points out.

Last July, one of the world's most wanted war crime suspects, Laszlo Csatary, was arrested in Hungary. He is accused of sending more than 15,000 Jews to their deaths at Auschwitz. But Hungarian police did not arrest the 97-year-old until a British newspaper, The Sun, made his location public. That has led some to say the authorities were dragging their feet.  Most worryingly, those who complained have been the target of anti-Semitic hatred.  It’s hard to believe that any nation, let alone one that was part of the WW II Holocaust, still harbors hatred towards the Jews. Yet, apparently, such is the situation in Hungary. They, as before, are treading on thin ice, if you would, as we are told in Genesis 12:3a, “I will bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse thee.” One of the ways that we can ensure our blessing is to follow the directive found in Ps. 122:6 and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
