Before Hungary existed, Jewish history was already being written on this land. Walking through Budapest’s magnificent Buda Castle District, I’m exploring nearly 1,900 years of Jewish history—from ancient Judea and the Roman Empire to Hungarian kings, Ottoman sultans, Habsburg rulers, and the Holocaust. ✡️ 2nd–3rd centuries CE: Evidence of Jewish life in Roman Pannonia, today’s Hungary. Jews who were expelled from Judea, those who fled, migrated, and were enslaved, arrived into this region. ✡️ 1200s: Jewish communities established on Buda Castle Hill, with synagogues, a Jewish Street, and a Jewish Gate. ✡️ 1251: King Béla IV granted Jews royal protections. ✡️ 1686: The Habsburg siege devastated Buda’s Jewish community. ✡️ 1944: Nazi Germany and its Hungarian collaborators perpetrated the Holocaust in Hungary, murdering more than 600,000 Hungarian Jews, violently killing more than 75% of the Hungarian Jewish population. ✡️ Today: Jewish life continues in Budapest and across Hungary  Nearly 1,900 years of Jewish presence in this region. A history of migration, civilization, contribution, persecution, and survival. 🎥 Walk through history with me. #JewishHistory #Budapest #Hungary #JewishHeritage #BudaCastle JewishDiaspora Am Israel Chai

The Nazis, their fascist allies, and antisemitic collaborators across Europe tried to destroy Jewish life. They failed. Standing inside Budapest’s magnificent Great Synagogue, the largest in Europe and one of the largest in the world, I’m reminded of the extraordinary history of European Jewry. This architectural masterpiece witnessed the flourishing of Jewish civilization, followed by the horrors of the Holocaust, when Nazis, Hungary’s fascist Arrow Cross, and other antisemitic political movements and local collaborators participated in the persecution and mass murder of Jews. Yet Jewish life endured. Today, as antisemitism rises again, this gem of European Jewry stands as a testament to Jewish faith, courage, survival, and renewal. Our history is not only about what was done to us. It’s about everything we’ve built, everything we’ve overcome, and everything we continue to fight for. Am Israel Chai. 🇮🇱✡️ #JewishPride #Budapest #JewishHistory #EuropeanJewry #AmIsraelChai

The battlefield is not only military. It is also informational. Unable to defeat the United States and Israel on the battlefield, Iran’s Islamic regime has turned to information warfare in an attempt to undermine them from within. In my latest interview with Fox News Fox News Media Fox News TV , I discuss Iran’s information warfare, the strategic strength of the U.S.-Israel alliance, and why our adversaries cannot afford to be underestimated. America doesn’t need to choose Israel’s leaders. It needs a strong Israeli partner, regardless of who wins an election. Our enemies do not take election years off. Neither can we. Thank you to Eric Mack and Fox News Digital for the opportunity to share my perspective. 🇺🇸🇮🇱 Full interview and article linked in the comments. #YuvalDavid #FoxNews #Iran #Israel #USIsraelRelations #NationalSecurity #InformationWarfare
