1 in 4 European Jews afraid to wear kippah, survey shows

Anketa je pokazala da se svaki četvrti Židov u Europi boji ( javno) nositi kipa

October 16, 2013

(JTA) — A quarter of respondents in a survey of Jews from nine European countries said they avoid visiting places and wearing symbols that identify them as Jews for fear of anti-Semitism.

Četvrtina židovskih  ispitanika,  u anketi  sprovedenoj u devet europskih zemalja,  je izjavila da izbjegavaju na  javnim   mjestima nositi  simbole koje ih identificiraju kao Židove,  jer se boje antisemitizma.

To je bilo istraživanje dugo godinu dana i spovedeno  na više od 5.100 Židova  od  strane Agencije za osnovna prava (Agency for Fundamental Rights) u Europskoj Uniji .

Strah da  nosi kipa ili druga obilježja  Židova je osobito jak u Švedskoj ( 49% od 800 ispitanih ).   U Francuskoj je 40% ( od oko 1200 Židova ),  a u Belgiji 36%. Ukupno je 22% ispitanika reklo da izbjegava " Židovske događaje ili mjesta" iz sigurnosnih razloga.

"Rezultati pokazuju  da većina europskih Židova ima iskustvo povećanja antisemitizma" , rekao je Gert Weisskirchen  (predstavnik "Organizacije za  sigurnost i suradnju u Europi  za borbu protiv antisemitizma") na konferenciji u Kijevu u Ukrajini. Anketa je započela u rujnu 2012 i završena je prošli mjesec. Ona je "online" provedena u Švedskoj, Francuskoj, Belgiji, Britaniji, Njemačkoj,Italiji, Mađarskoj, Rumunjskoj i Latviji, a  potpuni rezultati će biti objavljeni slijedećeg mjeseca u Vilniusu.

In Hungary, 91 % of more than 500 respondents said anti-Semitism has increased in the past five years. The figure was 80 % or above in France, Belgium and Sweden. In Germany, Italy and Britain, some 60% of respondents identified a growth in anti-Semitism, compared to 39 % in Latvia. Figures for people who said they had experienced an anti-Semitic incident in the 12 previous months were 30 % for Hungary, 21 % for France and 16 % in Germany.  27%  of respondents said the perpetrators were Muslims; 22 % blamed people with “left-wing views”; and 19 % said the people responsible had “right-wing views.”

More than 75 % of respondents said they do not report anti-Semitic harassment to police and 64 % said they do not report physical assaults, with 67 % saying that reporting incidents was either “not worth the effort” or otherwise ineffectual.

“Individual states need to address anti-Semitism not for the sake of the current generation, but to prevent the worsening of the situation for the following one,” said Oleksandr Feldman, the Ukrainian Jewish parliament member who organized the two-day conference titled “From the Beilis Trial to Berlin and Beyond” on the 100th anniversary of the anti-Semitic blood libel trial against Menachem Mendel Beilis, who was acquitted of killing a Christian child to use his blood for rituals.
