Hungary Will Not Label Products from Judea, Samaria and the Golan Heights

In defiance of European Union guidelines, Hungary will not label products from Judea, Samaria and the Golan Heights. Indeed, its foreign minister urges greater cooperation with Israel in fighting global terrorism.

Speaking at a breakfast meeting of the Israel Council on Foreign Relations on Monday, Hungarian Foreign Minister and Trade Minister Peter Szijjarto, who was on a 24-hour visit to Israel, said that his country will not label products from Judea, Samaria and the Golan Heights, calling the EU’s decision to do so “irrational.”

“We do not support that decision. It is an inefficient instrument. It is irrational and does not contribute to a solution [to the Palestinian–Israeli conflict], but causes damage,” Szijjarto stated, according to a Jerusalem Post report.

He also rejected international criticism of Hungarian policy regarding the Middle Eastern and African refugee crisis.

“The allegation that Hungary is against the European value of freedom of movement is hypocritical. We are only trying to prevent people from crossing our borders illegally,” Szijjarto said, citing mass migration as “the greatest challenge that the EU has had to face since its foundation.”

Very interesting, to say the least.

Woo, go Hungary.

I am definitely pro-lovely lady.

It's time to eat Goulash and eat Hungarian peppers to bolster them. Good for Hungary, refusing Merkel and refusing the BDS screw ups...

I am thinking that all foods that are “halal” should be required to have an accompanying warning label so that Christians who do not want to eat foods that have been scarified to false god can avoid them.

[Slings and Arrows]

If they’re labeled “halal,” isn’t that warning enough?

[Bullish]

Very cool on Hungary. Just wish other countries would follow their lead.

[Slings and Arrows]

Amen.

Yum, yum...

Hungary

+ 1

I get the joke, but in seriousness, I doubt a Christian unknowingly eating such a thing would ever be punished.

The Bible screams “intent”.

I was in Budapest, Hungary long ago when it was still under Commie control. A beautiful country. Really liked Budapest a lot. Great food and some interesting Roman ruins there. Plus fields of waving sunflowers in the countryside(lovely), an artists colony in a small, very picturesque village outside of Budapest and friendly people. Saw their national dance troupe (fantastic)perform. And Budapest, like Vienna, is on the beautiful Blue Danube (our group took a boat ride down it). I loved both Vienna and Budapest. Great cities with tons of history in them.

I really admire their fearless leader (literally) Orban, for standing up to the EU and dealing with the refugees trying to cross through his country, in a manner best suited to the self interests of his country. Orban I truly admire; Merkel of Germany, not so much.

Tokay is the well-known Hungarian wine. Import wine shops should carry it.

Factoid: In 900 AD, Hungary outlawed slavery, the first nation on earth to do so.
