title: Viktor Orbán

texts: <mask> is a Hungarian politician who has served as prime minister of Hungary since 2010, previously holding the office from 1998 to 2002. Between 2000 and 2003 he took a break from Fidesz, the national conservative political party. Orbn studied at Etvs Lornd University and briefly at the University of Oxford before entering politics in the wake of the Revolutions of 1989. The Alliance of Young Democrats was headed by him. At the 1989 reburial of Imre Nagy and other martyrs of the 1956 revolution, Orbn demanded that Soviet troops leave the country. He was elected to the National Assembly after Hungary's transition to multiparty democracy in 1990. Fidesz shifted away from its original centre-right, classical liberal, pro-European platform under his leadership.Hungary's accession to NATO and the economy dominated Orbn's first term as prime minister. He was the leader of the opposition from 2002 to 2010. Orbn became prime minister again after Fidesz's victory in coalition with the Christian Democrats. Major constitutional and legislative reforms, as well as the European migrant crisis, are some of the central issues of Orbn's second premiership. He became the longest-serving prime minister in the country in November 2020. He was the longest-serving incumbent head of government in the European Union. Many political scientists and watchdogs consider Hungary to have experienced democratic backsliding because of Orbn's curtailing of press freedom, erosion of judicial independence and undermining of multiparty democracy.Orbn's attacks on the European Union while accepting its money and funneling it to his allies and family have led to characterizations of his government as a kleptocracy. Hungary dropped from a position of "free" to a position of "partly free" between 2010 and 2020. Orbn says his policies are liberal democracy. Fidesz was suspended from the European People's Party due to a dispute over new rule-of-law language. Orbn was born on May 31, 1963, in Székesfehérvr, into a rural middle-class family, as the eldest son of theentrepreneur and agronomist Gyz Orbn and the special educator and speech therapist, Erzs. He has two brothers, both entrepreneurs. Mihly Orbn practiced farming and animal rearing.In Fejér County, Orbn attended school in Alcstdoboz and Felcst. His family moved to Székesfehérvr permanently in 1977. Orbn studied English after graduating from Blanka Teleki High School. After completing two years of military service, he studied law and wrote a thesis about the Polish Solidarity movement. He commuted to his job in Hungary as a sociologist at the Management Training Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food after he obtained his degree. Orbn received a scholarship in 1989 to study political science at Oxford. Zbigniew Peczyski was his tutor.He ran for a seat in Hungary's first post-communist parliament after leaving Oxford. He was a secretary of the communist youth organization, KISZ, at the age of 14 and 15 and was required to join in order to attend a university. Orbn said in a later interview that his political views had changed dramatically during the military service, as he had considered himself a "naive and devoted supporter" of the Communist regime. Orbn was one of the founding members of Fidesz and served as its first spokesman. Students from the Bib Istvn College for Advanced Studies were the first members of the party. Orbn co-founded the dissidenting social science journal Szzadvég at the college. On the occasion of the reburial of Imre Nagy and other national martyrs of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, Orbn gave a speech in Heroes' Square.He demanded the withdrawal of Soviet troops and free elections. The speech made him a household name. In the summer of 1989 he was part of the opposition round table talks. He was elected Member of Parliament from the Pest County Regional List during the 1990 parliamentary election. He was the leader of the Fidesz's parliamentary group until May 1993. The national board of Fidesz had served as a collective leadership since its founding, but on 18 April 1993 Orbn became the first president. Fidesz became a center-right people's party under his leadership.There was a split in the membership due to the conservative turn. Péter, Gbor, and Zsuzsanna left the party. Fodor and others joined the Alliance of Free Democrats, initially a strong ally of Fidesz, but later a political opponent. Fidesz barely made it to the 5% threshold during the 1994 election. Orbn was a member of the Fejér County Regional List. The Committee on European Integration Affairs was chaired by him. In 1995 he was a member of the Immunity, Incompatibility and Credentials Committee.Fidesz shortened its name to "Hungarian Civic Party" in 1995. The formerMDF had lost much of its support as his party became dominant in the right-wing of the political spectrum. Orbn was the chairman of the Hungarian National Committee of the New Atlantic Initiative. Orbn was elected vice chairman of the Liberal International. Fidesz joined the European People's Party in 2000. Orbn worked hard to unite the center-right liberal conservative parties in Hungary. He was elected vice-president of the EPP at the Congress in Estoril in 2002.Orbn won the 1998 parliamentary elections with 42% of the national vote after forming a coalition with the Hungarian Democratic Forum and the Independent Smallholders' Party. Orbn was the second youngest prime minister of Hungary at the age of 35. A radical reform of state administration, reorganizing ministries and creating a superministry for the economy was launched by the new government. The boards of the social security funds and centralized social security payments were dismissed. Orbn named a new minister to oversee the work of his Cabinet and strengthened the prime minister's office. The government decided in February that the unicameral National Assembly would only be in session for three weeks a year. According to opposition arguments, parliament's legislative efficiency and ability to supervise the government were reduced.The National Assembly rule that requires a two-thirds majority vote with one of a simple majority was ruled unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court. There were only a few changes in top government officials. Two of Orbn's state secretaries in the prime minister's office resigned in May due to their implication in a bribery scandal. Before bids on a major jet-fighter contract, the two secretaries, along with 32 other deputies of Orbn's party, sent a letter to two US senators to lobby for the appointment of a Budapest-based manager to be the US ambassador to Hungary. The head of the Tax Office resigned on August 31, succumbing to attacks by the opposition on his earlier, allegedly suspicious, business dealings. The construction of a new national theatre and the fourth subway line were canceled by the government in 1998. The relationship between the Fidesz-led coalition government and the opposition deteriorated in the National Assembly.The heads of key institutions, such as the Hungarian National Bank chairman, the Budapest City Chief Prosecutor and the Hungarian Radio, were replaced with partisan figures. The government ran the institutions without the stipulated number of directors despite the opposition's resistance. Orbn didn't show up for question time in parliament for up to 10 months. His statements that the parliament works without opposition also contributed to the image of arrogant and aggressive governance. The International Federation of Journalists criticized the Hungarian government for improper political influence in the media as the country's public service broadcaster teetered close to bankruptcy. The coalition that held power in Hungary was broken up by political scandals in 2001. Several prosecutions were launched against the Independent Smallholders' Party after a bribery scandal in February.The top post in the Ministry of Agriculture was taken over by Jzsef Torgyn. More than a dozen of its MPs joined the government. Economy Orbn's economic policy was to cut taxes and social insurance contributions over four years. Universal maternity benefits and abolishing university tuition fees were among the first measures of the new government. The government pledged to narrow the budget deficit, which had grown to 4.5% of GDP, by continuing the Socialist–Liberal stabilization program. The previous Cabinet launched a pension reform and almost completed the privatization of government-run industries. Reform of health care and agriculture remained to be tackled by Orbn's government, despite the Socialists avoiding them.Inflation dropped from 15% in 1998 to 10.0% in 1999, 9.8% in 2000 and 7.8% in 2001. In 1999, the growth rate was 4.4%, in 2000 it was 5.2%, and in 2001 it was 3.8%. The fiscal deficit fell from 3.9% in 1999 to 3.5% in 2000 and then to 3.4% in 2001. Hungary would be able to join the Eurozone by 2009, according to the Orbn cabinet. After the EU included six more countries in the accession discussions, the negotiations for entry into the European Union slowed. Orbn criticized the EU for its delay. Despite the tight monetary policy of the Central Bank, Orbn pushed through an unprecedented two-year budget and failed to curb inflation, which only dropped a half point from 10% in 1999 to 9.5% in 2000.Investments continued to grow. Hungary joined NATO in March 1999 after Russian objections were overruled. Hungary's membership to NATO demanded its involvement in Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's Kosovo crisis and modernization of its army. The trade embargo imposed on Yugoslavia resulted in a blow to the economy. The "status law" concerning three-million ethnic Hungarian minorities was passed by Hungary in 1999 and received international media attention. The law was supposed to heal the negative effects of the 1920 Trianon Treaty by providing education, health benefits and employment rights to those. The law was seen as an interference in the domestic affairs of the governments in neighboring states.Several of the countries that criticize the status law have similar constructs to provide benefits for their own minorities, according to the proponents of the law. The law was accepted by Slovakia after further concessions were made by the new government after the 2002 elections. Even with general elections coming in 2002, the level of public support for political parties remained stagnant. Fidesz and the main opposition Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP) ran neck and neck in the opinion polls for most of the year. According to a September 2001 poll by the Gallup organization, support for a joint Fidesz-Hungarian Democratic Forum party list would run up to 33% of the voters, with the Socialists drawing 28% and other opposition parties 3% each. The public's support for the FK GP went from 4% in 1998 to 1% in 2001. 40% of the voters were undecided.The opposition was unable to increase its political support despite the Socialists picking a prime minister. The leader of the radical nationalist Hungarian Justice and Life Party, Istvn Csurka, was the dark horse of the election. Should Orbn's party be forced into a coalition after the 2002 elections, MIP could be the key to a new term. The 2002 elections in Hungary were the most heated in a decade, and there was an unprecedented cultural-political division in the country. Orbn's group lost the April parliamentary elections to the opposition Hungarian Socialist Party, which formed a coalition with the liberal Alliance of Free Democrats. The turnout was a record high. The Hungarian Democratic Forum made it into the National Assembly.The Hungarian Justice and Life Party lost all of their seats. There were four political parties in the new assembly. The country was kept in election mode until the October municipal elections after MIP challenged the government's legitimacy, demanded a recount, and complained of election fraud. Observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe supported the decision of the Central Elections Committee that there was no need for a recount. The "Frderpreis Soziale Marktwirtschaft" was given 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 800-313-5780 He received the Papal Grand Cross of the Order of St. Gregory the Great in 2004. The Hungarian Socialist Party lost in the European Parliament election in 2004.Fidesz won 47.4% of the vote and 12 of Hungary's 24 seats. The Fidesz candidate for the parliamentary election was Orbn. Orbn's future political career was put in question when Fidesz failed to gain a majority in this election. Orbn was elected president of Fidesz again in May 2007, after fighting with the Socialist-Liberal coalition. The Hungarian Prime Minister gave an obscenity-laden speech at a Socialist Party meeting in May of 2006 and an audio recording of it surfaced in September of that year. mass protests were sparked by the leak. On 1 November, Orbn and his party announced their plans to stage several large-scale demonstrations across Hungary on the anniversary of the Soviet suppression of the 1956 Revolution.The events were supposed to be a memorial to the victims of the Soviet invasion and a protest against police brutality. There were planned events, including a candlelight march. The demonstrations were small and ended by the end of the year. There was supposed to be a new round of demonstrations in the spring of 2007. Fidesz won the municipal elections in October of 2006 and counterbalanced the government's power. In Hungary's largest cities, Fidesz won 15 of 23 mayoralties, although it narrowly lost to the Liberal Party. On March 9, 2008, a national referendum was held on the revocation of government reforms that included doctor fees per visit, medical fees paid per number of days spent in hospital, and tuition fees in higher education.The referendum was initiated by Fidesz. The procedure for the referendum began on 23 October 2006 when Orbn announced they would hand in seven questions to the National Electorate Office, three of which (on abolishing copayments, daily fees and college tuition fees) were officially approved on 17 December 2007 and called on 24 January The referendum was a victory for Fidesz. Fidesz won the European Parliament election in Hungary by a large margin. Orbn's party won the 2010 parliamentary elections with a two-thirds majority of seats, giving him the authority to change the Constitution. A new constitution was passed by Orbn's government. It includes support for traditional values, nationalism, references to Christianity, and a controversial electoral reform, which lowered the number of seats in the Parliament of Hungary

type: paraphrased

texts: from 386 to 199.On January 1, 2012 the new constitution entered into force. In his second term as prime minister, he came under fire for his statements against liberal democracy, as well as for his perceived corruption. There have been many protests against his government, including one in Hungary against the internet tax. Orbn's government implemented a flat tax on personal income. The tax is set at 16%. A central banking law that gives Hungary more independence from the European Central Bank is one of the reasons Orbn has called his government "pragmatic". Fidesz won a majority in the National Assembly after the parliamentary election.He got less than half of the national vote in 2010, but he won a large majority. Orbn ordered the erection of the Hungary–Serbia barrier to block entry of illegal immigrants so that Hungary could register all the migrants arriving from Serbia, which is the country's responsibility under the Dublin Regulation. Hungary took many actions to fight illegal immigration and reduce refugee levels. Orbn abolished Hungary's policy of migrants transit zones after the European Court of Justice ruled against it. The new Russia–Germany natural gas line was questioned by Orbn. He wants to hear an argument about why South Stream was bad. The "South Stream" refers to the cancellation of the Balkan line by Russia.Hungary's relations with Ukraine deteriorated over the issue of the Hungarian minority. Orbn and his cabinet ministers repeatedly criticized the education law, which makes Ukrainian the only language of education in state schools, and threatened to block further Ukraine's EU and NATO integration until it is modified or repealed. Orbn went to Turkey in July of last year to attend the re-elected Turkish President. In October of last year, Orbn said that a stable Turkey and a stable Hungary were preconditions for Hungary not to be at risk due to overland migration. Orbn met the Chinese President at the Belt and Road forum in Beijing. In June, Orbn met the State Counsellor and winner of the peace prize in the country. They talked about bilateral ties and illegal migration.On 30 March 2020, the Hungarian parliament voted 137 to 53 in favor of passing legislation that would create a state of emergency without a time limit, grant the Prime Minister the ability to rule by decree, and possibly prison sentences for spreading fake news and sanctions for leaving. On 16 June 2020, the Hungarian parliament passed a bill that ended the state of emergency. On the same day the parliament passed a new law removing the requirement of parliamentary approval for future "medical" states of emergencies, the government was able to declare them by decree. Allies of Orbn took control of 11 state universities. The Mathias Corvinus Collegium, a residential college, received an influx of government funds and assets equal to 1% of Hungary's gross domestic product as part of a mission to train future right-wing intellectuals. Europe faced steep increases in energy prices in 2021, due to a combination of factors, including soaring demand of natural gas, its diminished supply from Russia and Norway to the European markets, and less power generation by renewable energy sources such as wind, water and solar energy. Orbn blamed the surge in energy prices on the European Commission's Green Deal plans.Orbn was the first EU leader to meet with Putin in Moscow and he called it a "peacekeeping mission". They talked about exporting Russian gas to Hungary. Orbn has led initiatives and laws to hinder human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer people because they are not compatible with Christian values. The government of Orbn ended legal recognition of trans people in 2020. In 2021, his party proposed legislation to make it a crime to promote gender change or homosexuality in movies, books or public advertisements. Russia's restriction on "homosexual propaganda" has been compared to the law. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen harshly criticized the law, while a letter from sixteen EU leaders including Pedro Snchez and Mario Draghi warned against threats against fundamental rights and in particular the principle of non- discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation.His anti-LGBT+ positions came under more scrutiny after it was revealed that one of his European deputies, Jzsef Szjer, had participated in a gay sex party. The Constitution of Hungary was designed by Szjer. The new constitution was criticized by Human Rights Watch for being against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer community. Hungary has observer status at the General Assembly of Turkic-speaking States and applied for membership to the International Turkic Academy. Orbn said that Hungary is seeking closer cooperation with the Turkic Council. Hungary became an observer in the council. In 2021, Orbn mentioned that the Hungarian and Turkic peoples share a historical and cultural heritage.He pointed out that the Hungarian people are proud of their heritage and were also proud when their opponents in Europe mocked them as barbarian Huns and Attila's people. Orbn said at the meeting of the Association of Cities with County Rights that we do not want to be diverse and that we do not want to be mixed. We don't want this. We don't want that at all. We don't want to be diverse. Orbn said in his speech that the challenge with Bosnia was how to integrate 2 million Muslims. Bosnian leaders called for Orbn's visit to Sarajevo to be canceled.Husein Kavazovi is the head of the country's Islamic Community. Orbn's blend of soft Euroscepticism, populism, and national conservatism has seen him compared to politicians and political parties as diverse as Jarosaw Kaczyski's Law and Justice. Orbn wants to make Hungary an ideological center for conservatives. Orbn promotes an "uncompromising defense of national sovereignty and a transparent distrust of Europe's ruling establishments" in his political philosophy. Orbn had a close relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu. He is one of Mr Netanyahu's closest allies. The Finance Minister of Israel gave personal advice to Orbn on economic reforms.Netanyahu thanked Orbn for "deciding to extend the embassy of Hungary in Israel to Jerusalem". In a widely cited public address at Bile Tunad, Orbn laid out his political views most clearly. The classical liberal theory of the state as a free association of atomistic individuals was repudiated by Orbn in the address. It is called "illiberal" because it views the community and not the individual as the basic political unit. According to Orbn, a state should promote national self-sufficiency, national sovereignty, familialism, full employment and the preservation of cultural heritage. The reception of Orbn's political views has been mixed. The constitutional changes enacted under his leadership were accused of centralizing legislative and executive power, curbing civil liberties, restricting freedom of speech, and weakening the Constitutional Court and judiciary.Critics have described him as "irredentist," "right-wing populist," "authoritarian," "autocratic," "Putinist," and as a "dictator." The European migrant crisis has popularized Orbn's nationalist, protectionist policies among European conservative leaders. Orbn is now the talisman of Europe's mainstream right after being ostracized by Europe's political elite. Orbn is against any compulsory EU long-term quota on redistribution of migrants. He wrote that Europe's response is madness. The European Union's misguided immigration policy is to blame for this situation. He wanted an official EU list of "safe countries" to which migrants can be returned.Turkey should be considered a safe third country according to Orbn. The Great Replacement conspiracy theory has been promoted by Orbn. Orbn's adoption of the conspiracy theory was reported by Le Journal du Dimanche. The most apt definition of modern Christian democracy can be found in Brazil, not in Europe, Orbn said during a press conference in January 2019. According to reports, Hungary has increased immigration of foreign workers despite the anti-immigration rhetoric from Orbn. Steve Bannon, Donald Trump's former chief strategist, once referred to Orbn as "Trump before Trump." According to The Guardian, the Hungarian government doubled family spending between 2010 and 2019.Orbn has advocated for increased investment into "Family First." Orbn ignores the European Union's attempts to promote integration as a solution to population distribution problems in Europe. He supports investments into the country's low birth rates. The "great replacement theory" mimics a nativist approach to rejecting foreign immigration out of fear of replacement by immigrants. "If Europe is not going to be populated by Europeans in the future, then we are talking about an exchange of populations, to replace the population of Europeans with others," he stated. The Hungarian government introduced a 10 million forint (£27,000) interest-free loan for families, which does not have to be paid back if the couple has three children, according to The Guardian. In July 2020, Orbn remarked in a state radio interview that they "won an important battle" and that he still expects arguments over linking of disbursement of funds of the European Union to rule-of-law criteria.Orbn said in August 2020 that Central European nations should come together to preserve their Christian roots as western Europe experiments with same-sex families, immigration and atheism. In January 2022, Donald Trump endorsed Orbn in the Hungarian parliamentary election, while also trumpeting his hard-line immigration policies. The Presidents of the European Commission and the former Secretary of State of the United States are among Orbn's critics. He has been accused of pursuing anti-democratic reforms, attacking the human rights of the LGBT community, reducing the independence of Hungary's press, judiciary and central bank, and amending Hungary's constitution to prevent amendments to Fidesz-backed legislation. He was accused of pork barrel politics for building a 4,000-seat stadium in the village in which he grew up, Felcst, at a distance of some from his country house. According to a New York Times investigation, Orban leased plots of farm land to politically connected individuals and supporters of his and his party in order to take advantage of the EU's agricultural subsidies. Orbn is an opponent of European integration.The left-wing press and opposition parties presented Orbn's comment that "there's life outside the EU" as proof of his anti-Europeanism. Orbn said in the press conference that the accession may boost the growth of Hungary's economy. George Soros criticized Orbn's handling of the European migrant crisis in 2015, saying his plan treats the protection of national borders as the objective and the refugees as an obstacle. The goal of the plan is to protect refugees from the national borders. The Orbn government began to attack George Soros and his NGOs because of his support for more open immigration. The billboard campaign backed by the government was denounced by the Israeli ambassador in Hungary. Orbn's critics said it evoked memories of Nazi posters during the Second World War.The ambassador stated that the campaign causes sad memories but also sows hatred and fear. Hours later, Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a "clarification", stating that he "continuously undermines Israel's democratically elected governments and funded organizations that defame the Jewish state and seek to deny it the right to defend itself". A few days before an official visit to Hungary by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, there was a clarification. The anti-Soros messages became key elements of the government's communication and campaign since then. The European migrant crisis was engineered by Orban for his own political gain. He was accused of mistreating migrants within Hungary and later sending many to Western Europe in an effort to stoke far-right sympathies in Western European countries. Hungary was reclassified from a democracy to a hybrid regime by the Freedom House's Nations in Transit 2020 report.Orbn and Anik Lévai have five children. Their oldest daughter, Rhel, is married to a businessman who was accused of receiving unfair advantages when winning public tender. Orbn's son, Gspr, is a retired footballer. He founded a religious community called Felhz. Aliz and Anna Adél are the children of Rhel and Sra's daughter Johanna. Orbn's wife and five children are Roman Catholic, while Orbn is a member of the Calvinist Hungarian Reformed Church. Orbn appeared in Football Manager 2006 because he was a signed player of the FC Felcst.Orbn has a penchant for football. He played for FC Felcst. He became one of the main financiers of the Hungarian football and his hometown's club, Felcst FC, later renamed the Ferenc Pusks Football Academy. One of the most modern training facilities for young Hungarian football players was created by him. He helped build the Pusks Cup in his hometown of Felcst, as well as establishing the annual international youth cup. His son, Gspr, was trained there. Orbn watches as many as six games a day.According to inside sources, his first trip abroad as prime minister was to the World Cup final in Paris, and he has not missed a final since. Sepp Blatter visited the Pusks Academy in 2009. The widow of Ferenc Pusks, as well as Orbn, founder of the academy, announced the creation of the new FIFA Pusks Award during that visit. He played a minor role in a family film. First Orbn Government, Second Orbn Government, Third Orbn Government, and Fourth Orbn Government are references.

title: Isaac Abarbanel

texts: <mask>, also known as <mask>, was a Portuguese Jewish philosopher, Bible commentator, and financier. There is a debate over whether his last name should be <mask>. Abarbanel is the traditional pronunciation. Since Graetz and Baer, scholarly literature has been most commonly used. His own son Judah insisted on <mask> and Sefer HaTishbi, both vowels the name as Abarbinel. The etymology of the name is uncertain. It is said that it comes from "Ab Rabban El", meaning "Father of the rabbis of God", which seems to favor the pronunciation "Abrabanel".Abarbanel is one of the oldest and most distinguished Iberian Jewish families. The <mask> family escaped the massacre in Castile. A student of the rabbi of Lisbon, Joseph Chaim, he became well versed in rabbinic literature and in the learning of his time, devoting his early years to the study of Jewish philosophy. <mask> said he included Joseph ibn Shem-Tov as his mentor. He wrote on religious questions and prophecy when he was twenty years old. He had a complete mastery of financial matters. He was employed by King Afonso V of Portugal.He used his position and wealth to help his co-religionists. The Jewish captives faced being sold as slaves when Afonso captured the city of Arzila. The funds needed to free them were contributed by Abarbanel. He wrote to Vitale Nissim da Pisa on behalf of the captives. After the death of Afonso, King John II accused him of connivance with the Duke of Braganza, who was executed on the charge of conspiracy. <mask> was warned in time that he was going to die. His fortune was taken away by decree.After moving to Toledo, he began studying the books of Joshua, Judges, and Samuel and wrote an extensive commentary on them over the course of six months. He entered the service of the house of Castile. Together with his friend, the influential converso Don Abraham Senior, of Segovia, he undertook to farm the revenues and to supply provisions for the royal army. Abarbanel gave a lot of money to the king during the Moorish war. The Catholic Monarchs of Spain ordered the Jews to be exiled and he was able to get the king to change his mind. The king was offered 30,000 ducats. He left Spain with his friends and went to Naples where he joined the king.After the city was taken by the French, he followed the young king Alfonso to Messina, and then to Monopoli, where he settled in 150. He spent a lot of his own money to bribe the Catholic Monarchs to allow the Jews to remain in Spain. The revocation of the edict was offered 600,000 crowns by Abarbanel. Ferdinand hesitated, but was prevented from accepting the offer by Toms de Torquemada, the Grand Inquisitor, who dashed into the royal presence and threw a crucifix down before the king and queen. The date for the expulsion was extended by two days. He died in Venice in 1508 and was buried in Padua. The Jewish cemetery in Padua was destroyed during the Siege of Padua in 1509.Russian author Boris Pasternak is claimed to be a descendant of Abarbanel. Many works written by Abarbanel are categorized into three groups: exegesis, philosophy, and apologetics. His philosophy dealt with the sciences and how the general field relates to the Jewish religion and traditions, while his apologetics defended the idea of the Messiah in Judaism. The social and political issues of the time were taken into account by Abarbanel in his exegetic writings. He believed that the lives of the Jewish people must be considered when discussing the Bible. In order to make the works more accessible to the average reader, he took the time to include an introduction concerning the character of each book he commented on, as well as its date of composition, and the intention of the original author. Exegesis Abarbanel wrote commentaries on the Torah."Perush on the Earlier Prophets" was published in 1511 and "Perush on the Torah" was published in 1579. "Perush" is on the Later Prophets. Each chapter is preceded by a list of questions or difficulties that he sets out to explain over the course of the chapter. The lists of difficulties made it easier for scholars to find the answers they were looking for. In his commentary on the Torah, there are no fixed number of questions, but in his commentary to the Prophets, he limits himself to six. Abarbanel focused on a content-based investigation of the Scripture when he was younger than Abraham and David. <mask>'s commentary on the Torah is often the subject under discussion.His style and presentation is repetitive. Some of his interpretations are based on homilies delivered in the synagogue. He fought the interpretation of philosophy based on allegory and extreme rationalism. He had recourse to many interpretations based on philosophy, especially in his commentary on the Torah. The danger to Jewish survival in exile, as well as the conditions of his time, explain his opposition to philosophical allegory. This explains Abarbanel's faith in the Messianic concepts of Judaism, as well as his need to make his work accessible to all Jews instead of writing only for the scholars of his time. Although his commentary often differed from kabbalistic interpretations, <mask> still believed that the Torah had a hidden meaning.His commentary shows both his knowledge and endorsement of kabbalists. He gives the analytical way, the scientific, or the method of wisdom, along with the way of the Torah, the moral and religious tenets to be derived from the text. He allowed himself to criticize his source when he thought it did not accord with the meaning of the text. "I will not refrain from pointing to the weakness inherent in their statements where they are homiletical in nature and are not accepted by them as authoritative", he said. The exegetical writings of Abarbanel are notable for their comparison of the social structure of society in biblical times with that of the European society in his day. He used historical interpretation in his commentaries to the Major and Minor Prophets and to the Book of Daniel, but many of his interpretations are anachronistic. Preoccupation with exegetes and Christian exegesis.He generally disagreed with their interpretations. When their interpretation seemed correct to him, he did not hesitate to borrow from them. I Kings 8, reply to the sixth question, said "Indeed I regard their words in this matter to be more acceptable than those of the rabbis to which I have referred." His introductions to the books of the prophets are more comprehensive than his predecessors. He deals with the content of the books, the division of the material, their authors and the time of their compilation, as well as drawing comparisons between the method and style of the various prophets. The spirit of medieval scholasticism is what inspired his investigations. He may be considered a pioneer of the modern science of Bible propdeutics.The major characteristic that separated Abarbanel from his predecessors was his unflagging commitment to using the Scripture as a means of elucidating the status quo of his surrounding Jewish community; as a historical scholar, Abarbanel was able to contemporize the lessons of the historical. The political and social life of the characters in the Tanakh must also be taken into account according to Abarbanel, who had himself taken part in the politics of the great powers of the day. Abarbanel's exegetical literature was looked to as a beacon for later Christian scholarship due to its completeness and excellence. His exegetical writings are set against a richly conceived backdrop of the Jewish historical and sociocultural experience, and it is often implied that his exegesis was sculpted with the purpose of giving hope to the Jews of Spain that the Messiah was imminent in their days. He was different from other philosophers of the age who relied less on Messianic concepts. The tolerance of Abarbanel's predecessors in the realm of philosophy was different than that of the Christians. Men like Shem-Tov, Shem-Tov, and others were denounced by Abarbanel as infidels and misleading guides for assuming a comparatively liberal standpoint in religio-philosophical questions.<mask>'s entire understanding of the Jewish religion was based on God's revelation in Jewish history. The title of his most important religious work is a characteristic instance of his vacillation. The statement that Maimonidean compiled these articles merely in accordance with the fashion of other nations is contained in this work. He believes that the teachings of the Torah are revelations from God, and that among them are neither principles nor corollaries from principles. Abarbanel supports some of Maimonides' ideas, but he disagrees with his conception of the prophetic visions. Abarbanel will not hear of this explanation, even for the bat kol of the Talmud, which according to him, was an actual voice made audible by God. The "Heavenly Chariot" theory of Maimonides was defeated by Abarbanel.After the expulsion of Spanish Jews from Spain, Apologetics Abarbanel set himself to champion and strengthen their Messianic belief. "The Wellsprings of Salvation" is a commentary on the Book of Daniel. The three books are part of a larger work called Tower of Salvation. He controverts both the Christian exposition of and the Jewish rationalistic approach to this book in the first work. He counts Daniel among the prophets in opposition to the later rabbinical tradition, but only with the current Christian interpretation. Daniel gives the foundation for his theory. He devoted the rest of his commentary to an extensive and caustic criticism of the Christian exposition.The second work is an exposition of the doctrine concerning the Messiah according to the traditional testimony of the Talmud and Midrash. <mask> criticizes the Christian interpretation of Messianic passages in his third apologetic work. "The Crown of the Ancients" is one of the works by Abarbanel. The servitude of animalistic black Africans should be permanent. <mask>'s view on slavery was in direct contradiction to that of Rashi, who wrote in the Talmud that the children of Israel were not allowed to have slaves. "Israel alone is permitted to buy from them, but they are not permitted to buy from you or one another." Abarbanel responded with anger to the comment of a tenth-century Karaite from Jerusalem.Yefet thought that the verse referred to Black women as being 'promiscuous and therefore no one knows who his father is'. Abarbanel doesn't know who told Yefet about the practice of promiscuity among Black women. Many of the people in my country of birth are loyal to their husbands if they are captive to their enemies. They are just like any other person. Schorsch believes that Abarbanel's views about the connection between slavery and the curse of Ham were influenced by the writings of his predecessors, as well as the culture around him. Schorsch argues that the complexity of <mask>'s views of Blacks can be seen in his commentary on Amos 9:7 and other writings. "Abarbanel's conflicting passages regarding Blacks were written at different times and addressed different realm of discourse, the one abstract myth, the other actual living Blacks."Schorsch shows how travel books described Ethiopia as barbarians, stealing each other's children to sell to Muslim foreigners. Many statements were made about their relations with their siblings or parents. Families would not have been known to primitives who lived like animals. When defending the behavior of actual Blacks living in Portugal, Abarbanel dismissed all these derogatory notions. <mask>'s response to the Alhambra Decree is not related to his actual thoughts and ideas.

title: Peter Fagg

texts: <mask> was an American law enforcement officer, retail clerk, debt collector, temperance lecturer, colporteur, and politician from Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin who served a single term as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly's 2nd. He was a member of the Reform Party, a short-lived coalition of Democrats, reform and Liberal Republicans, which formed in 1873 in the U.S. state of Wisconsin, which secured the election for two years of William Robert Taylor as Governor of Wisconsin. Fagg was the son of Captain <mask> and Sara Jacoba Smith and grandson of John Fagg. The captain owned a large grocery business in Vlissengen. Sarah Jacoba Smith was from a prominent local family of English and Dutch ancestry. Captain Fagg spoke only English. Captain <mask> died at the age of 34 and his wife managed the business for two years.She married again on March 5, 1841,Frederick T. Zetteler, a son of the royal tailor. A few years after Sarah's second marriage, and after the second bankruptcy of her husband, the whole family came to the United States, taking a sailing ship to New York City. They went to Albany, New York and thence by canals and the Great Lakes to Milwaukee, where they settled down on a farm. Zetteler opened a general store in Madison. The mother and children ran the store, the father worked for official offices of the State, including the Secretary of State of Wisconsin, and <mask> worked in the office of the former Governor Leonard J. Farwell. Zetteler went into the real estate business after a fire destroyed his family's property. <mask> married Tillema on May 3, 1859.He worked as a retail clerk in a general store in Alto. Fagg was a justice of the peace in Alto and a county supervisor in the same place. His stepbrother was elected to the State Assembly as a Democrat in 1863. In 1865 Fagg was appointed as a prison guard in the Wisconsin State Prison and in 1867 he was appointed a police officer in Milwaukee. He resigned as a deputy sheriff in October of 1873. He worked as a debt collector. He was elected to the Assembly in 1874 to succeed Joseph Hamilton, who was not a candidate.He won with 995 votes, compared to 451 for Thomas Armstrong, who ran as an "Independent Republican". He was re-elected as an "Independent Democrat" the next year, with 763 votes to 534 for regular Democrat George Tyre, who had just been elected once again to the Assembly from Milwaukee. There was no single party that could get a majority in the Assembly. Fagg was persuaded to support Fifield. The Republicans were able to control the Assembly because Fagg switched his vote and influence. His fellow Dutch Americans supported the Republican party. Hamilton succeeded Fagg as the candidate for re- election in 1876.Fagg worked in the office of the Wisconsin Board of Commissioners of Public Lands for nine years after he became postmaster of the Wisconsin State Senate. He was not reappointed in 1886 because of his increasingly fervent religious and temperance movement positions. Fagg argued that the only acceptable place for him in politics was as a lecturer for the cause of prohibition, as he had been a teetotaler for many years. He sold books and Bibles. He was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows for many years and was active in a number of other orders. Fagg was reported to be working as day labor at the Wisconsin State Capitol building by 1895. He worked in the office of the Secretary of State and in the library of the State Historical Society.When he went to Milwaukee in 1896 to attend the funeral of his step-father, the Wisconsin State Journal observed, "Of the sixty-two voters in the family and connections of <mask>g, there is only one Emocrat." He was authorized to collect money for wounded soldiers during the Second Boer War in 1900. A Chicago paper had already reported Fagg's donation, along with a number of Irish-Americans doing the same. When a bill was before the legislature to introduce primary elections as a replacement for nomination by party conventions, the Kenosha News decried the potential diminishing effect on party conventions. <mask>g cut a historical figure? After a long illness and six months of blindness, Fagg died on December 10, 1917, leaving his invalid wife, five sons and two daughters. There are links to births of American booksellers, police officers, and temperance activists.
