A new world is emerging, featuring new alliances and coalitions. The Allies of Freedom or Entente Powers, versus the Axis of Evil powers — this time it looks as if the EU is coming down on the side of the Axis. But not Orban. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been consistently brave and uniquely singular in stating the dangers of mass Muslim migration into Europe, and for this he is scorned, derided and smeared (much like President Trump). But he is right. In the wake of the mass migration of Muslims into Europe, the Jews of Europe are under siege.
Never has it been so perilous for the Jewish people in Europe since the rise of the Third Reich. That in itself should be a wake-up call for the European elites, as a signal of what is coming next in Europe.

“In rare move, Foreign Ministry fetes Hungary’s Orban as he arrives in Israel,” Times of Israel, July 18, 2018:
The Foreign Ministry welcomed controversial Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban as he arrived at Ben-Gurion airport Wednesday for a visit that has drawn criticism from Israeli politicians and Jewish groups.
A statement by the ministry said the two-day visit will promote bilateral ties, strengthen European support for Israel and increase cooperation in combating anti-Semitism. It is very rare for the ministry to issue a statement welcoming a visiting head of state.
Orban’s two-day visit is his first to the Jewish state, in a followup to last year’s trip to Budapest by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“The visit will promote the good bilateral relations that are notably expressed in supporting Israel’s positions in European and international forums, and underlining the importance of continuing the struggle against anti-Semitism,” the Foreign Ministry statement said.
The statement specifically mentioned the Visegrad group of Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, which has worked to defend Israel from European Union condemnation. Earlier this year, the four countries helped block an EU statement condemning the US transfer of its embassy to Jerusalem.
The trip is a striking sign of burgeoning ties between Netanyahu and the Hungarian statesman, who has been accused of playing up anti-Semitic stereotypes, and comes following reports of Israeli efforts to lobby the US to end isolation of the man considered a symbol of Europe’s move toward the hard right….
