Old European anti-semitism thread

[Sheilbh]

Does anyone remember where that poll that said x% of Europeans blamed Jews a great deal/a bit for the financial crisis came from?

Just saw a reference to a similar survey in Americans and I was wanting to see if it's the same people and how it compares.

Europeans are not anti-semites. They are just anti-israelis.

Get your facts straight.

Pretty sure the Holocaust predates the existance of Israel.

Besides, most Westerners are anti-Israeli, due to the fact that Israel is anti-Western.

Iron your knee.

That doesn't make any sense.  What are you, the new bmollson?

Was that the one that showed Spain and Portugal as the most antisemitic?

Spain and Poland, I don't think Portugal was included.  But, yeah, that's it.

There's a bunch of stuff on the ADL's site. Maybe this?

That question about Jews having too much power in financial markets sounds familiar. I think I was thinking Portugal was in it also because Martim Silva was all up in here around that time claiming Goldman Sachs was teh evol and the rest of it. 

[Sheilbh]

That's it.  It didn't have the question I thought so I can't compare

The Times columnist mentioned that around 40% of Americans believe Jews are a little bit to a great deal responsible for the financial crisis, though only a quarter say it's a moderate amount to a great deal.  I was wanting to see how it compared with different Euro countries and can't

I liked this part:

They found that Democrats were significantly more prone to blaming Jews than Republicans: while 32% of Democrats accorded at least moderate blame, compared to only 18.4% of Republicans.

Yay tolerance!

Makes sense since most Jews are democrats.  They'd know.
