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.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

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.  :P

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 :(

same study, but updated for 2008.

I think it was the BBC that mentionned it...  Have you checked there Sheilb?

I liked this part:
QuoteThey 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!

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

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