  1. Someone else wrote this and I strongly concur:

    Now that Mamdani has realized he has no authoritarian power to arrest Netanyahu, I’ll just put it out there in plain English.
    If you’re a Jew who lives in New York, and you voted for this guy, you’re an idiot! I don’t care if you’re a Jew and a Democrat, you’re still an idiot. If you are a Jew who doesn’t live in New York, and you supported this dipshit….you are a moronic idiot

    • By the way, has anybody noted the irony of the Hungarian (Magyar) equivalent of an anti-MAGA candidate and now national political leader having the name, “Peter Hungarian?”

      “eddie murphy the name you know”

      ” +1 You are referencing Eddie Murphy’s iconic political satire, “The Distinguished Gentleman” (1992). In the film, Murphy plays Thomas Jefferson Johnson, a charismatic Florida con man who takes advantage of a deceased incumbent’s popularity to win a seat in Congress. His brilliant, cynical slogan for the campaign was exactly: “Vote Jeff Johnson. The name you know.”‘

      • What’s more, St. Peter’s Crown is symbolically regarded as the embodimemt of Hungarian sovereignty. Every regime for the last 1100 years has sought to possess it. At times was hidden.

        How likely is it it that his being sponsored by the Soros group to fomemt a color revolution is a coincidence?

        • All that’s left would be for this or some other Pope to elevate him to sainthood and he’d be Saint Peter Hungarian.How’s that for messing with a people’s minds.

        • Correction: That’s St. Stephen’s Crown. St. Peter was the founder of the Roman Catholic Church, if I remember correctly.

          “ Oh, that’s different. Neever mind.” – Gilda Radner

          Though I wonder if
          it might have had some impact, Hungary being a historically Roman Catholic majority country.

  2. I’m glad Judit Polgar turned down Peter Magyar’s offer to be the Jewish figurehead for this anti-Israel post-Orban Hungarian regime that just swept into power, suspiciously if you ask me.

    I usually despise documentaries but the one about her on Netflix is terrific. And fun.

    “Queen of Chess”

  3. If the following comes to fruition, I believe it could be potential a very positive change to the Israeli political scene.

    Ayelet Shaked and Yuli Edelstein in Talks to Form New Right?Wing Party
    Reports indicate that former Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked and Knesset member Yuli Edelstein are in advanced talks to merge and form a new right?wing political party ahead of Israel’s October 2026 elections

    http://www.ynetnews.com

    According to sources close to both figures, they have been fully coordinating on strategy, party principles, and recruitment plans for the new entity

    The proposed party aims to unite mainstream right?wing voters dissatisfied with the current coalition and modern Orthodox Israelis who do not align with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionist Party
    The Jerusalem Post

    Edelstein, who has signaled his intention to leave Likud, is reportedly considering two possible paths:

    Completing 61 mandates for a “change bloc” that could form a government, or

    Forcing a broad unity government to separate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from ultra?Orthodox influence
    http://www.ynetnews.com

    Shaked has made it clear she will return to politics only within a right?wing party, ruling out joining Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid’s “Together” coalition, which she says is not right?wing
    Israel News

    . She has also called for a right?wing alliance with Bennett and Avigdor Liberman to strengthen the opposition bloc against Netanyahu

    .

    While the talks are still in the early stages, the combination of Shaked and Edelstein — both experienced right?wing leaders — could signal a significant shift in the political landscape, potentially creating a new force in the anti?Netanyahu camp.

    • Rafi
      Just what the Right needs, more parties to waste more votes.

      As the Left is solidifying their efforts, such as they are, the Right is splintering. Unity is what brought the Right to power with 64 seats. How will the splitting parties and new parties compensate for the loss of seats.

    • Raffi clearly you are no fan of Israel’s best PM, Bibi.

      You lack pragmatism. All those on the ‘right’ that you mention (Ayelet, Bennet) have proven themselves to be inept, unreliable and compromised. You likely despise the Haredim too. More so than the ayatollahs, right?
      With your thinking, (as Peloni rightly points out – you’ll just split the votes on the Right), the worst possible leaders (like Lapid) can be the next PM, G-d forbid.

      • I love the Haredim that have the guts to serve in the IDF, in-spite of strong over the top opposition from many fellow Haredim. I love Zionists and especially those that can take a different point of view without attacking a fellow Zionist.
