A new Anti-Defamation League poll reveals that over half of adult Americans (61 percent) favor one or more classic anti-Semitic views.

In addition, 19 percent of Americans believe that "Jews still talk too much" about the Holocaust. Other serious data emerging from the survey: the belief in the myth that the Jews "murdered Jesus" and the notion that they are of double loyalty - are still widespread.

At the same time, good news was also recorded, as the findings showed that the percentage of Americans who hold widespread and blatant anti-Semitic perceptions remained at a low negative peak for many decades. Most of the Anti-Defamation League polls in the last 25 years have indicated that 11 to 14 percent of Americans - and no more - actively hold anti-Semitic views, DL.

The Anti-Defamation League's "Attitudes Among Jews" survey found that over time, anti-Semitic attitudes in the United States remained similarly prevalent. 11 percent of American graduates, some 28 million people, hold firmly rooted anti-Semitic attitudes, agreeing with Six (or more) anti-Semitic images presented to them in the survey, and most respondents also expressed positive attitudes toward Jews, illustrating that 79 percent of Americans believe "Jews emphasize the importance of family life" and 66 percent believe "Jews contributed Many cultural life in America. "

It is important to note that old and well-known stereotypes about "Jewish control" of business and of being "double loyalty" Jews (meaning more loyal to Israel than to their country of origin) - remain firmly rooted and especially prevalent. In fact, 24 percent of Americans agree with the statement that "Jews are more loyal to Israel than to America."

"We are shocked to see that there has been an increase in anti-Semitic violence lately. In a recent study, this increase was not caused by a change in the attitudes of most American publics," said Jonathan Greenblatt, executive director of the Anti-Defamation League. The millions who hold anti-Semitic positions feel bold enough and act on the basis of the same hatred. "He added," We know that when anti-Semitic attitudes are heard in the public domain without condemnation, especially from our leaders, it is a green light for those who previously refrained from spreading them - and even acting on them. "That's why everyone has a responsibility to raise their voice against Shen." Oh and anti-Semitism, ”he concluded.
