Hungarian Protests Have Antisemitic Flavor

Today's edition of the Forward reports that the anti-government riots that have shaken the Hungarian capital of Budapest for over a week have used antisemitic terminology and symbols. Among these are the red and white flag of Hungary’s World War II fascists. Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány has been condemned by rioters and their sympathizers in veiled, and sometimes more explicitly, antisemitic language. Gyurcsany is not Jewish.
