Watching the European news, the other group seems to be the Rom, as well as the "immigrant." Of course, anti-Semitism is easy and more acceptable than most would think. After the flyers, came blame of the Jews (the ADL, actually) as published in "Press TV" which had an anti-Semite, Gordon Duff, of "Veterans Today", claiming the flyers were all the work of Jews in the US, and possibly Israel. No facts were actually used, but that doesn't really matter. Thankfully, few places picked up on it.

The real danger also comes from those who mock or denigrate anti-Semitism because of their own hatreds. It allows for anti-Semitism to get a better foothold.
