Nearly half of all adults worldwide hold significant antisemitic views and younger people are more likely to discriminate against Jews, according to an Anti-Defamation League survey released on Tuesday.
The global survey asked 58,000 respondents in 103 counties and territories if they agreed with 11 antisemitic tropes, such as 1. Jews’ loyalty is only to Israel 2. Jews have too much power in the business world 3. Jews still talk too much about what happened to them in the Holocaust 4. Jews don’t care what happens to anyone but their own kind 5. People hate Jews because of the way Jews behave 6. Jews have too much control over global affairs 7. Jews think they are better than other people 8. Jews have a lot of irritating faults 9. Jews have too much control over the media 10. Jews are responsible for most of the world’s wars 11. Jews have too much control over the country’s government
If respondents believed that more than half of the statements were true, they were categorized as having “significant antisemitic beliefs,” ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt said in a briefing, calling the findings a “global emergency.”

“Why do attitudes matter so much? Because attitudes lead to action.
When antisemitic views are normalized, when anti-Jewish bigotry takes root, it creates an environment where Jews become more vulnerable,” he said, tying the antisemitic views to incidents such as the attacks on Israelis in Amsterdam in November.
In total 46 percent of adults backed a majority of the antisemitic tropes, representing around 2.2 billion people.
Many countries held widespread antisemitic views despite lacking any significant local Jewish population.
