Disturbing Trend

This short article appeared in the English language online newspaper The Budapest Times.  http://www.budapesttimes.hu/2013/04/14/hungary-high-in-global-antisemitism/  It tells of an increase in antisemitism in Hungary.  We have heard unkind and racist comments made by Hungarians about Jews and have seen reports of vandalism against their property here in Hungary, but did not realize it was this widespread and growing. In fact, the neo-Nazi Jobbik political party won seats in Parliament in the last election. This is concerning to us on two accounts.  One is that the Bible clearly states that God blesses those who bless the Jews and curses those who curse them (see Genesis 12:3).  The other is that the racist attitude extends to the Gypsies in the country.  We work with many precious Gypsy brothers and sisters and it hurts us when they are discriminated against, threatened and even harmed.  Please pray for Hungary.
