Pew Global Attitudes årliga mätning
ger ett beklämmande resultat beträffande
ökningen av antisemitism i Europa.
**
A spring 2008 survey by the Pew Research Center's Pew
Global Attitudes Project finds 46% of the Spanish rating
Jews unfavorably. More than a third of Russians (34%)
and Poles (36%) echo this view. Somewhat fewer,
but still significant numbers of the Germans (25%) and
French (20%) interviewed also express negative opinions
of Jews. These percentages are all higher than obtained
in comparable Pew surveys taken in recent years.
In a number of countries, the increase has been especially
notable between 2006 and 2008.
**
Great Britain stands out as the only European country
included in the survey where there has not been a
substantial increase in anti-Semitic attitudes.
Just 9% of the British rate Jews unfavorably, which
is largely unchanged from recent years. And relatively
small percentages in both Australia (11%) and the
United States (7%) continue to view Jews unfavorably.
