I don't see how your particular example regarding Hungary is anti-semitism. Being a Jew does not protect you from being critized. Of course there could be example of anti-semitism from the gov in Hungary, but I don't think that's the case of the linked article.

Not open, but hiding; not straightforward but crafty; not honest but base; not national but international; does not believe in working but speculates with money; does not have its own homeland but feels it owns the whole world.” The Wandering Jew is back in Hungarian politics.

  The Reuters article does not bring anything new: Soros is a political opponent of the current government of Hungary since he is funding groups which are opposing the policies of the government. For the FT, I couldn't read it since I don't have a subscription. Still the quote provided does not specifically talk about the “Wandering Jew” stereotype. Of course I agree with you that the criticism of Soros by the government could lead to act of antisemitism as shown by the tags (of which we have no pictures in the articles), but this act of the government does not seem anti-Semitic.
