ADL: 21 Million Americans Harbor Anti-Semitic Attitudes
NEWSMAX ^ | Tuesday, 13 May 2014 | Drew MacKenzie

A new survey has found that 21 million Americans, or nearly one out of every 10 adults, have anti-Semitic prejudices.

The study of 102 countries by the Anti-Defamation League, called the ADL Global 100, found that, overall, one in every four adults throughout the world harbors some form of anti-Semitic attitude.

Respondents were asked a series of 11 questions based on Jewish stereotypes, including those on Jewish power, loyalty, money and behavior, according to the Jewish news agency JTA. People who replied “probably true” to six or more negative statements about Jews were considered to hold anti-Semitic feelings.

ADL is correct in their conclusions about the level of Anti-Semitism in the United States and worldwide. However they don't break down the demographics except to say that that in America, 9 percent of respondents showed that that they had anti-Semitic sentiments, with the same percentage of Christians being prejudiced while only 7 percent of atheists showing such attitudes. Why lump all Christians together? Also they avoid the percentage of minorities such as African Americans who are Anti-Semitic.

I’m surprised it’s only 21 million; Obama got 66 million votes in 2012.

How many of the Anti-Semites are democrats?

Honestly other than a few far out NEO-NAZI types (Yes I’ve met some) the only Anti-Semites I have ever met were secular Leftist Academics and they seem to be fairly common

Lots of them. Probably most.

One need only listen the college liberals in candid conversation to know they are anti-Semites.

“One need only listen the college liberals in candid conversation to know they are anti-Semites.”

Isn’t that the truth!

I hear some absolutely breathtaking comments at times.

Exactly. That means 45 million lied or were ashamed to admit it.

I am VERY pro-Israel and will always be pro-Israel.
Funny thing is the only Anti-Semites I’ve ever met have been white retired military who voted for Obama.

Don’t know why but it was so unexpected that it stuck in my head.
It happened twice just 6 months ago here in Colorado.
Collin Powell supporters?

The percentage for Muslims http://www.juancole.com/2014/02/americans-increasingly-minorities.html averages around 40%, but that is using a different question to measure, so it’s not comparable to the anti-Semitic number.

That was the percent of Americans who are anti-Muslim, not the percent of Muslims who are anti-Semitic.

I’m as big a supporter of Israel as you’ll find anywhere, and I’m absolutely sick of the ADL. **** ‘em.

I'd like to see a list of the questions. From the brief description, I would tend to believe I would answer at least one of them "Yes...and that's a good thing!"
