Thirty-nine percent of Europeans believe Jews have too much power in
the business world, while 44% think Jews have too much power in
international financial markets, according to the results of a survey
published by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on Monday.
The survey of five European countries - France, Italy, Germany, Spain,
and Poland - showed that a large number of Europeans continued to
harbor anti-Jewish attitudes, holding on to the classical anti-Semitic
canards and conspiracy theories that have haunted Jews through the
centuries.
The survey also showed that large portions of the European public
continue to believe that Jews still dwell too much on the Holocaust.
Overall, 47% of those surveyed thought the statement was "probably
true."
In addition, 51% said they believed Jews were more loyal to Israel
than to their country and 20% of those surveyed continue to blame Jews
for the death of Jesus.
Meanwhile, 25% said that their opinion of Jews was influenced by
Israel's actions and of those, 52% said their opinion of Jews was
worse as a result of the actions taken by Israel.
Nevertheless, while sympathy for the Palestinians' predicament seemed
to persist, strong attitudes against Iran and Hamas were also shown,
with a majority believing Iran is developing a nuclear weapon, and
most supporting sanctions against Iran.
Fifty-one percent said they believed Iran's nuclear program was being
developed for military purposes, and 16% said they thought it was both
a weapons program and a nuclear energy program.
Only 14% believed it was solely for nuclear energy.
Also, a majority identified Hamas as a terrorist organization and
supported the European decision not to provide foreign aid to the
Palestinian Authority government until Hamas abided by the Quartet's
conditions.
Overall, the opinion survey of 2,714 adults - slightly more than 500
in each of the five countries - found an increase in negative
attitudes toward Jews or in some instances no change, from its 2005
findings.
In response to the findings, ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman
said: "Millions of Europeans continue to accept a wide range of
traditional anti-Semitic stereotypes and conspiracy theories,
including the charge that Jews are more loyal to Israel than to their
home country. These attitudes help incite and legitimize anti-
Semitism, including violence against Jews, and give us great concern."
