Israel ambassador to Hungary calls „intolerable“ Fidesz publicist Zsolt Bayer’s anti-semitism | The Budapest Beacon

In response to a series of op-ed pieces penned by Fidesz publicist Zsolt Bayer seeking to justify political antisemitism in Hungary under the title “Intolerable” (“Tűrhetetlen”), Israel’s ambassador to Hungary, Ilan Mor, has written a letter to the Editor-in-Chief of Magyar Hirlap condemning the pro-government print daily from publishing the articles and informing him that the embassy is canceling its subscription.  The conservative print and online daily is owned by prominent businessman and Fidesz supporter Gábor Széles who also happens to be a strident anti-semite.  Mor condemns as “intolerable” the overtly antisemitic views espoused in the three op-ed pieces published on February 27th, 29th and March 1st in the wake of popular opposition to the unveiling of a bust to World War II politician György Donáth.
