I've been thinking a lot about European elections the last couple of days. Especially with news from Hungary and Austria. What's the standing of far right parties in Germany? Has the economic downturn spawned a new wave of anti-Jewish hatred?
Certainly the election in Hungary is very scary. Phrases like "Judapest" being thrown around. Are these similar trends appearing in Germany as well?

All this being said -- I realize some virulent xenophobia is coming out of Arizona these days.
