Italy: Jewish Brigade march attacked by pro-Palestinians
A Liberation Day parade in Rome, meanwhile, was marred by tension between a group of supporters of the Palestinian cause and representatives of Jewish fighters who were part of the Italian Resistance during World War II. Fabio Perugia, the spokesman of Rome's Jewish Community, said the friction was caused by the presence of the flag of the Jewish Brigade of the Resistance, which features the Star of David. "We had a meeting at 9:15 to march with the flag of the Jewish Brigade, which is similar to the Israeli flag, but not the same," said Perugia. "Suddenly around 50 people with Palestinian flags came out of the Colosseo metro station and started to attack us verbally.
"If the police had not been there, they would have attacked us physically". Perugia said that the police removed the Palestinian flags.
Loretta Mussi, a member of a pro-Palestian organisation, said her group had authorization to carry Palestinian flags and said that it was attacked by the Jewish group.
Representatives of the Jewish Brigade and Palestinian supporters also exchanged insults at an event in Milan.More: AnsaMED

Greece: Zionists and Jews behind "Islamist invasion"
Via SKMA:
Swedish journalist Tomas Lundin reports in SvD (not online) on the Golden Dawn party. At an election rally,one of the party representatives said that Europe is flood with fanatical Islamists who want to wipe out European civilization. Who's behind it? The American Zionists, the Jews and their friends, who cannot accept an independent Greece. The audience applauded wildly.
This isn't the first time that Golden Dawn mixes up the "Jews" and "Zionists". Apparently the Greeks didn't get the memo: If you want to be acceptably anti-Semitic, remember that you're only against "Zionists".
UK: Jews increasingly support the Conservatives 'as they got richer'
I wouldn't call this antisemitic per-se, but Livingstone is relying on antisemitic stereotypes. It's not the policies of Labour against Jews that might cause Jews to shy away from the party. It's because they're rich (which as it happens, for leftist-leaning politicians also implies 'evil')
Former London mayor Ken Livingstone said that Britain’s Jewish community has increasingly supported Conservative candidates because it has gotten richer.
“If we were talking 50 years ago, the Roman Catholic community, the Irish community in Britain, the Jewish community was solidly Labor,” Livingstone told BBC’s Newsnight while addressing the role of ethnic minorities in UK politics. “Still the Irish Catholic community is pretty solidly Labor because it is not terribly rich.
“As the Jewish community got richer, it moved over to voting for Mrs. [Margaret] Thatcher as they did in Finchley,” he said, referring to one of London’s northern districts with a large Jewish community.
“The defining issue is not your color or your religion,” Livingstone said. “It’s your level of income. People vote according to their income.”More: European Jewish Press

Czech Republic: Euroskeptic party's campaign features Jewish ritual murder
Czech authorities censored a campaign ad for the "No to Brussels-National Democracy" party, as it featured antisemitic content. Antisemitic sites like Joe Le Corebeau's Croah claim that this proves that Jews really do control the media. After all, the ad also featured some anti-Islam and anti-Roma clips, but this wasn't the reason it was banned.
The party claims it's not antisemitic. It's just anti-Israel. Which is why their clip features a a painting portraying Jewish ritual murder and a visit by British freemasons at the local British synagogue. The party claims it opposes homosexuality and freemasons, but for some reason their clip ties both these issues to Jews.
Books such as this one (available on Amazon) use this painting to illustrate how the Jews commit ritual murder.
More on the clip from the Economist:

In the offending ad, a digitally animated snake slithers in front of a variety of images, including a Star of David, smiling rabbis, a vaccination, a €500 note and smoke pouring from New York’s Twin Towers. The serpent is eventually slain by a knight holding a shield that bears a fork-tailed lion crest, the Czech national symbol. Czech Television refused to air the advertisement. Adam Bartoš, the leader and top European Parliament candidate for the “No to Brussels-National Democracy” party, admits the ad is “provocative.” He insists it is anti-Zionist, not anti-Semitic, though this fails to explain why Mr Bartoš has also taken to publishing lists on the internet of Czech elites he claims are Jewish. The snake in the ad, Bartoš said, symbolises Brussels. “Our party is dangerous for the establishment because it defends what other parties do not defend—a family and a nation.”
(...)
The Roma minority are a convenient scapegoat for much of the right wing in Central and Eastern Europe, but Mr Bartoš and his party say little of the Roma. They are however against “Zionism, multiculturalism, homosexuality, free masons, banks, the new world order agenda and so on,” says Mr Bartoš.

Sweden: Research institute invites antisemitic conspiracy-theorist researcher
Johan Galtung is the principal founder of the discipline of peace and conflict studies. He also believes that Jews (apparently) control world media and banking, and that the Mossad (might have) played a role in the 2011 terrorist attacks in Norway.
The Association of Foreign Affairs in Malmö (UF) claims they did not know about his controversial views when they invited him to give a lecture about his life's work. Apparently, they have not yet mastered the art of Googling. In a Swedish press-release added after the story broke in the local press, they explain that Galtung has distanced himself from any form of racism and antisemitism, and that they'll bring those issues up during the lecture.

Ukraine: Regional governor calls Hitler 'a liberator'
Kherson region governor Yuri Odarchenko caused public resentment at a Victory Day meeting on Friday when he called Hitler "a liberator" and (Soviet leader Joseph) Stalin "a tyrant," Korrespondent.net reported.
"If you read history, we see that he (Hitler) brought to the forefront the slogan urging to liberate people from Communist yoke, to free people from tyrant Stalin," said the official, a member of the Batkivshchina Party, according to the report. A woman then ran up to Odarchenko, and, calling him "faschist," threw away his microphone towards a group of World War II veterans.More: ITAR-TASS

France: Journalist justifies Toulouse terrorist
Editors of a French television talk show censored a panelist’s comparison between the murder of Jewish children in Toulouse and the actions of the Israeli army.
Aymeric Caron, a left-wing French journalist, made the comparison on April 26 on France 2’s show “On n’est Pas Couche” (“We’re Not Asleep”) during a discussion on anti-Semitism in France and the 2012 murder of three children and a rabbi in Toulouse by Mohammed Merah, a radicalized Islamist.
“Merah would say he killed Jewish children because the Israeli army kills Palestinian children,” Caron said, according to a transcript of the censored sequence that appeared last week on the news website causeur.fr. “There are numbers on that too. I have the numbers. How do you respond?”

Netherlands: Wilders says French FN and Austrian FPO are not antisemitic
Geert Wilders on is on a "slippery slope" by forming a European election alliance with Marine Le Pen and an Austrian far-Right party with a "Brownshirt past", a Dutch Jewish group has warned.
(...)
In an interview with The Telegraph on Tuesday, Mr Wilders admitted that he was uncomfortable with the idea of being in alliance with Mr Le Pen but insisted the French FN and Austrian FPO had changed.
"I understand these comments but we are writing history here. I say to people, have a bit of trust, these parties are changing. We are working on a historical project," he said.
"I am totally not comfortable with Mr Le Pen senior but I have enormous respect for Marine Le Pen. There is nothing racist or anti-Semitic about her. You cannot change a party overnight but the most important thing is the person in charge: is she or he heading in the right direction."
