Viktor Orbán’s vicious propaganda machine is in overdrive. Lately, it surprised me again. The recent attack on Ukraine’s hero President Zelensky is a new low. Pro-Orbán media calls him a “Jewish comedian” and the ongoing anti-Ukraine propaganda, mixed with a healthy dose of anti-Semitism, is well received by Orbán supporters.
President Zelensky
The Hungarian Prime Minister never made it secret that he admires Russian President Putin. His recent re-election campaign added a new color, a strong anti-Ukraine sentiment.
Orbán won and thundered “We have such a victory, it can be seen from the Moon”. Well, international observers were more restrained and raised serious concerns, saying the electoral conditions were not democratic; the field was heavily tilted in favor of Orbán’s Fidesz party. Nothing is new here. Orbán enjoys an unfair advantage after he successfully rigged the country’s electoral system and controls much of the country’s media.
Orbán also attacked the long list of his enemies, “Brussels bureaucrats, the Soros empire – with all its money – the international mainstream media, and in the end, even the Ukrainian president. We never had so many opponents at the same time.”
To set the stage to re-election Orbán introduced an anti-LGBTQ+ referendum which labelled gay people as pedophiles. The referendum’s questions were so distasteful (and confusing) that the majority of voters decided to ignore it and the referendum failed. Earlier Orbán claimed that the success of the referendum is essential to protect Hungarian families.
Zelensky has repeatedly asked for Hungary’s help and said that sooner or later Orbán has to choose between Moscow and the “other world.” Kiev’s ambassador to Hungary, Lyubov Nepop also criticized Orbán for not helping in the war against Putin and she warned “You will be next, Putin won’t stop!”
Ambassador Nepop
After that the gloves came off. Orbán called Zelensky “a soap-opera actor” and Ambassador Nepop was summoned by Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó ”over insulting remarks by Ukrainian authorities directed against the Hungarian leadership.” This was a bit bizarre since Orbán had insulted Zelensky. “The Ukrainian leaders should stop insulting Hungary and recognize the will of Hungarian people,” Szijjártó also added that “we won’t deliver arms nor vote for energy sanctions” against Putin.
Zsolt Bayer and Viktor Orbán
Clear words. Orbán’s new Master is now Putin and Zelensky is Orbán’s enemy. Orbán is Hungary, representing the will of all Hungarians. (The older folks might remember Ein Volk! Ein Reich! Ein Führer!…)
After that Orbán’s media attack dogs were let out from their cages. Zsolt Bayer his far-right star journalist friend and founding member of the ruling Fidesz party started to refer to Zelensky as the “Jewish comedian.”
Orbán’s propaganda reached a new low.
George Lazar
And just look at the arrogant body language in the photo of Orban, the fat frog, and his buddy the even fatter plumber! Revolting, both of them. They are not Hungary. They are the scum at the bottom of the barrel.
Nothing new with this bile and lies from the Orban regime, but I’m still dumbstruck by the callousness and heartlessness of the Orban mafia. How can a normal person witnessing the destroyed cities, the appalling suffering of the population and the piles of dead victims of Putin’s murderous war play with words and wisecrack about these horrors? Mind you, these are the same characters who hold deep grudge against the Americans for “not coming to liberate Hungary” in 1956, who refused to accept 1200 (sic) refugees/migrants in 2016 (admittedly “brown people”), and who are now doing as little as possible to help the Ukrainian refugees still do, leaving their “friends” Italy and now Poland to fight alone, (eg. while Poland has accepted 2 500 000 Ukrainians now). Orban was the only European leader who refused to supply weapons, or even let others do that through Hu territory.
His call was that “the Hungarians will pay for (the costs of) this war..” Perhaps the Huns should profit from it, eg. by charging each refugee 500 Euro “border crossing fee”…. But even this is a lie, since the Huns are paying eg, the higher energy prices caused by the war.
O1G is a mild expression in comparison with the disgust I feel. And if these represent the Hungarians then we have the answer to why “Isten veri a magyar”.
Sorry, it’s “the Hungarians would not pay for (the costs of) this war”.

If you happan not to reply my request, or cenzoring out this question of mine it means that you are seimoky a third-class communist liar.
Your old froend from Biudapest, Dr. Habil. András Fodor
Let me leave it to our Dear Readers to form own opinion about the credebility of Mr. George Lázár on the basis of that:

“MAGYAR KÖZLÖNY • 2022. évi 43. szám
A Kormány, figyelemmel az Alaptörvény 47. cikkére, … a szövetséges államok fegyveres erőinek az ukrajnai válsággal összefüggő csapatmozgásainak és egyéb feladatainak elősegítése érdekében.

Tnx for supporting my post with the Hu language gov decree, which allows movement of troops and material to OTHER NATO countries, ie. not directly to Ukraine, but allowing the latter “if needed” (szükség szerint) making such movement the exception at the gov’s discretion.
BTW the derivative tone of the regime’s media is everywhere, if you don’t believe me just tune in.
Sorry, derogative tone ….
Zelensky will indeed be remembered as Ukraine’s hero, even though he is in fact the undertaker of the Ukrainian nation. This conflict could have been avoided. Just renouncing NATO membership aspirations, and better conditions for ethnic minorities would have done it. In other words, reject being host to a proxy war.
The costs of this conflict will be terminal for Ukraine’s longer-term prospects. Close to 5 million people left, most of them young. Most of them will never return. When all will be over, probably over 10 million Ukrainians will leave, which is terminal in conjunction with low birth rates, and a destroyed economy. A large chunk of Eastern Ukraine will probably also be partitioned away, possibly the entire coastal area.
Some hero! He is a manufactured hero, created by the CIA, in conjunction with the MSM and the puppets in power controlled by our oligarchs. An actor, playing a part! My favorite part was the orchestrated announcement of his staying in Kyiv. They knew from the beginning that Russia will not take Kyiv. It was just a way to keep Ukrainian troops away from the East and South. So he anounced he was staying, even as US oficials were claiming that they offered to evacuate him. Well-staged! He is the “hero” offered to the sheep that they are using to help convince us to put up with the economic pain caused by our economic confrontation with Russia. Mass-manipulation! His policies before the war were in fact very similar to those of Milosevic, the butcher of the Balkans. But why would anyone want to mention any of that now?
Please give a reference your “Jewish comedian” statement.
Joe
You’re off the hinge and your “introspects” sound for what they are dumb Russian propaganda, or Russian propaganda for dummies if you prefer.
Yes, of course. All who disagree, have a different point of view, are just spreading “Russian propaganda”.
Russians are today truly the new Jews. Everything can be blamed on them, can carry on hate campaigns against them. As we saw in Ukraine, they can be corraled in a building, burned to death (Odesa, 2014), with no one convicted, no one condemned for it. As the post-Maidan Ukraine government has shown, one can use cluster bombs on their towns, with no fear of being stigmatized for it. And of course, neo-Nazi groups that fight Russians are now heroes, like Azov, Ain-Dar.
In Canada, they even tried to blame the trucker protests on the Russians. In the US, there was a 4 year witch hunt against Trump, accused of associating with Russians. Its all the Russians I tell ya!!!
And you, accusing all who disagree with you as spreading Russian propaganda? You are the hatemongers!!! Just because it has become acceptable hate, it does not make it less hateful. It just makes it dangerous.
Dear Dr. Fodor… It is worth to watch segments of the Bayer Show and the Sajtóklub also hosted by Zsolt Bayer with András Bencsik, Ottó Gajdics and László Néző.. both on HírTV.. they dealt extensively with Zelensky.
Beyond the Jewish comedian I didn’t list the distasteful expletives they used to describe the Jewish Ukrainian President, including the “ripacs” and “köcsög” phrases. One occasion when talking about Zelensky Bayer talked about the Holocaust and mentioned that Zelensky “a faxxával verte a zongorát”.. That was too much to HírTV and they beeped out the phrase referring to Zelensky’s penis.
BTW, Zelensky is a grandchild of Holocaust survivors, his great-grandparents were burned alive in their Ukrainian village.
“BTW, Zelensky is a grandchild of Holocaust survivors, his great-grandparents were burned alive in their Ukrainian village.”
And yet, he is the commander in chief of a national army that incorporated openly Neo-nazi battalions such as Azov, Ain-Dar. So perhaps he is first and foremost a puppet of the globalist oligarchs. His heritage, and other factors seem to play very little to no role in his decision-making. Neither does the wellfare of those who elected him seemingly, because I do believe that he could have done much to avoid this war. He choose to turn Ukraine into a battleground between Western oligarchs and Russian oligarchs instead, tearing his own country appart in the process.
