See Harry’s Place. It’s not the first time The Independent have mingled their ‘Israel lobby’ stuff with racist references to malign Jewish power.
Update: Mark Gardner writes about this on the CST blog, plus follow-up.

From the Independent today:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ruling-parties-the-winners-despite-record-low-turnout-1699453.html
You’ll notice ‘allegedly’ does not precede ‘anti-Gypsy’. So I can’t understand why the Independent describes Jobbik as ‘allegedly’ anti-semitic, given this:

That’s a very telling point, seismicshock.
And in the second editorial in today’s “Guardian”,
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/jun/09/european-elections
the Jobbik party is described simply as an “anti-Gypsy” party — making no mention of their antisemitism at all!
This, despite the “Guardian’s” own news article
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/jun/07/rightwing-hungary-european-election
yesterday quoting the Jobbik party’s leader as saying “So-called proud Hungarian Jews should go back to playing with their tiny little circumcised tails”

Within some circles, whilst t is considered “intellectual” to debate whether something’s antisemitic or not, it is obvious whether something is anti-Gypsy. that’s my impression anyway
