NEW YORK (JTA) – A lot of people around the world hate the Jews.That’s the main finding of the Anti-Defamation League’s largest-ever worldwide survey of anti-Semitic attitudes.The survey, released Tuesday, found that 26 percent of those polled — representing approximately 1.1 billion adults worldwide — harbor deeply anti-Semitic views. More than 53,000 people were surveyed in 102 countries and territories covering approximately 86 percent of the world’s population.

Mnogo ljudi širom svijeta mrzi Židove. To je glavni  ADL rezultat  u najvećem istraživanju o antisemitizmu. Istraživanje, čiji su rezultati izneseni u utorak, ima rezultat da  26% ispitivanih- a oni predstavljaju 1,1 bilijun odraslih osoba u svijetu - ima  duboke antisemitke "poglede". Više od 53.000 osoba je ispitano u 102 zemlje, na teritoriji koja  pokriva  oko 86% svjetske populacije. "Naši nalazi nažalost nisu iznenađujući"  rekao je Abraham Foxman, ADL direktor na konferenciji u New Yorku. " Podaci jasno indiciraju da klasični uzroci antisemitizma prelaze nacionalne, kulturne, religijske i ekonomske granice.

Glavni rezultati istraživanja su:

• Oko 70% onih koji se smatraju antisemitima su kazali da nikada nisu susreli Židove. Oko 74%  svih ispitanika nije nikada srelo Židove

• 35% ispitanika nije nikada čulo za Holokaust,  od onih koji su čuli jedna trećina smatra da je to mit ili da je preuveličan.

Muškarci su nešto više"antisemitski" nego žene.

“The ADL’s Global 100 index will serve as a baseline,” Foxman said. “For the first time we have a real sense of how pervasive and persistent anti-Semitism is today around the world.”

The survey gauged anti-Semitism by asking whether respondents agreed with an index of 11 statements that the ADL believes suggest anti-Jewish bias:

• Jews talk too much about what happened to them during the Holocaust;

• Jews are more loyal to Israel than to the countries they live in;
  

• Jews think they are better than other people;

•  Jews have too much power in international financial markets;

•  Jews have too much power in the business world;

•  Jews have too much control over global affairs;
  

• people hate Jews because of the way Jews behave;
  

• Jews have too much control over the U.S. government;
  

• Jews have too much control over global media;

•  Jews are responsible for most of the world’s wars;
  

• Jews don’t care about what happens to anyone but their own kind.

Respondents who agreed that a majority of the statements are “probably true” were deemed anti-Semitic.

The survey also questioned respondents about their attitudes toward Israel. .

 “It just is not clear whether the Middle East conflict is the cause of or the excuse for anti-Semitism.
