New Survey Finds Anti-Semitic Attitudes Steady In Europe

A new survey of seven countries across Europe revealed that nearly half of the Europeans surveyed believe Jews are not loyal to their country and more than one-third believe they have “too much power” in business and finance.

The findings were released Tuesday by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in New York. The study, “Attitudes Toward Jews in Seven European Countries”, shows millions continue to believe the classical anti-Semitic canards that have persistently pursued Jews through the centuries.

Overall, 40% of Europeans in the countries polled believe that Jews have too much power in the business world, with more than half of Hungarian, Spanish and Polish respondents agreeing with that statement.

“This poll confirms that anti-Semitism remains alive and well in the minds of many Europeans,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL’s national director.
