'Hungarian Jews should stick to playing with their circumcised tails', By Yehuda Lahav (Excerpt) Ha Aretz

The radical nationalist, anti-Israel, far-right party Jobbik won nearly 15 percent of the vote in Hungary's weekend elections. Jobbik, or the Movement for a Better Hungary, came in third and will have three of Hungary's 22 seats in the European Parliament. The right-wing Fidesz party, with more than 56 percent of the vote, captured 14 seats while the ruling Socialists, in a crushing defeat, took just four.

'Hungarian Jews should stick to playing with their circumcised tails'

The last day of voting was underway on Sunday for the European Parliament election, and in Hungary, the conservative right-wing party Fidesz was expected to win by a solid lead.

However, the real question in this election was whether or not the extreme rightist party Jobbik would gain the necessary 5 percent of the vote to achieve representation in the EU parliament.

Topping the Jobbik list is Krisztina Morvai, who sparked controversy several days ago when she responded to criticism in a letter saying "I would be glad if the so-called proud Hungarian Jews would go back to playing with their tiny little circumcised tails rather than vilifying me."
