Hungary has one of the biggest Jewish communities in Europe. According to a study by Andras Kovaces from Budapest's Central European University, 24 percent of people living in Hungary had some kinds of anti-Semitic prejudices back in 2011... That's a big part of the population, 10 to 15 percent more than 20 years ago. He blamed the Jobbik party, which is openly anti-Semitic. In the 2010 elections, this party won 17 percent of votes. Many open acts against the Jews have happened in the past couple of years including anti-Semitic chants at a football game against Israel. On a postitive note, the Jewish community is very vibrant in Hungary nowadays.
Here's what I have to say to these people. What have Jews done to you? Is there really an issue here? And lastly, if you have any prejudices or dislike for a group, just keep it to yourself. If you're going to live in this world with everybody else, you should show some respect for groups, classes, races, etc. other than your own. I do find it cool that the Jewish community is flourishing during this ridiculous religion/racism.
