Yom HaShoah

Ghastly news from Hungary on such a sombre day commemorating the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust.

Jobbik, the far-right party has gained one-in-six votes in this week-end's Hungarian elections.

Jobbik is described as being "obsessively anti-Jewish", as well as inciting hatred against gays, Gypsies, Slovaks, Romanian, and Serbs.

Jobbik also runs its own paramilitary outfit, the Hungarian Guard, whose emblem is a variant on that used by the murderous Nazi-supporting Arrow Cross.

Nice bunch of people.

As if this wasn't bad enough, news that the retired bishop of Grosseto, Giacomo Babini, has said that he believed a "Zionist attack" was behind the current criticism of the Catholic Church's record on tackling clerical sex abuse.

He is quoted as saying that, "They do not want the church, they are its natural enemies. Deep down, historically speaking, the Jews are God killers".

I'm waiting with bated breath for the Pope to denounce this fool.
