Europe funds Hamas university, bans Hungarian universities

How much of the money received by the Islamic University of Gaza from the EU was used to build the tunnels? Is Orban is considered worse than Hamas

“The European Commission has decided to suspend cooperation with Hungarian universities for the start of the 2024 school year,” writes the French philosopher and academic Xavier-Laurent Salvador in Le Figaro.

“In 2014, a Turkish intellectual supported his country’s exit from the European Erasmus University exchange programme. He explained that Europe seeks to ‘manufacture a generation of globalized and rootless pagans’. A decade later, the Commission seems to apply the same logic – since the beginning of the 2024 school year, students of Hungarian universities have been banned from the Erasmus programme.”
