2. I guess the spanish are going back to
1492. Time to grease the rack and oil the hinges on the Iron Maiden. Hopefully someday soon, we will see marines from no.africa landing on the beaches of spain. Let them be under moslim rule again. They are on their side anyhow.

3. Sadly, antisemitism is not a just silly joke from Uncle Leo.
"Jews always cry 'antisemitism' when Israel is criticized" "The whole world is fed up with Jews screaming out 'antisemitism' all the time to cover up for Israel's war crimes"... "Jews have overused the term 'antisemitism'"... "It's not antisemitism, it's anti-Zionism!" "You're just like Uncle Leo! Everyone who disagrees with you is an antisemite!" Any of these calls sound familiar? We've heard them all too often here in this site, as well as in many foreign forums - to the point that the sayers of these calls, succeeded in depriving the word 'antisemitism' of all its gravity. Bizarrely, It feels as though Jews are to blame whenever they mention this word, as if they are always exaggerating and making a mockery of themselves, like Uncle Leo. However, as witnessed by this news piece, it sadly appears that in many cases, what takes place in Europe today is indeed, plain old antisemitism - no ifs, ands or buts, and definitely not a Seinfeld joke. Europe is infested with antisemitism, period.

4. And it is spread out to Latin America
Unfortunately, public opinion makers and mass circulation newspapers throughout Latin America feed themselves on the Spanish media due to the sharing of a common language, so, they naturally spread out these devilish ideas and make it worse

5. Not surprised. well known fact Spanish among most antisemiti

7. Spain
Spain is the only country in Europe,that is a full member in the Arab league,Spaniards killed a million spaniards,in 36-39,Republicans killed Faschistas and Faschistas killed Republicans,since the spaniards have stopped killing each other,they need a new target,which is conveniently,the Jews,most spaniards don't practice any more the Catholic faith,what they do practice,is the traditional antisemitism of the Catholic church,this will assure them a good place in allah's lap togheter with the muslim Jihadists.

8. Last month it was Sweden, this month it's Spain
I just came back from one of the best EVER Rosh ha shanah holiday in Stockholm. The service at the huge grand central synagogue, with Jewish and local features (it resembled a viking boat! and is over a hundred year old or more) was really beautiful, it was packed to the doors with Swedish and holiday Jews. I am not a self hater or whatever you can reply with. I just wanted to say again, I had the best Jewish holiday in Sweden, my hats off to Rabbi Anshulten. These dramatic headlines really make me cringe. It's really not that bad.

9. Who can blame them?
Any normal person will listen to Israelis like Neve Gordon and Yariv Oppenheimer and will agree that Jews are the greatest criminals. Why do Israelis complain now?

10. #7 Truthful. Yes sir, si, seƱor...

If Israel wished,how many palestinians could it kill ?,and if you could how many Jews would you kill ?.

13. #8 Holiday in Sweden...
Spain and Sweden are two different places. How does your great time in Sweden invalidate the fact that in Spain, there is a raise in antisemitic sentiment?

14. The sophisticated Moore = a Spaniard.
No. 2 .Marines not required, the arabs are already there.To you Tahl, It does not sadly appear, it's been there for 2000 years. As the French say " c'est pourri d'antisemitism ". And to you # 6: funny, I had the same vision "it's a spanish cartoon of Don Quichote, that looks like the spanish king.

15. This starts from their government
Thisw goverment was elected after bombs were detonated by al queida the week before the elections. The same tacticts but without bombs are being use today in Germany to scare them to reelect Merkel and get a more p[ro arab government there. The Spanish started apeacing the arabs out of fear (electing this government) but afterwards , the government itself continued by shaping policies that are anti Israel. We should not forget how the head of the Jewish community in Spain was told to shut up by the prime minister a couple of years ago, and if you look at the website from the government that expalins about the conflict in Israel with the palestinians you will see how they distort our claims to the land, by distorting history and advancing the palestinian position (lie). It is time to try to erode the Spanish standing as a member of the EU instead of going to the Spanish government the source of the problem.

16. Take heart, Tahl
Given the patterns of Islamic mindset & behavior I've observed, European antipathy toward Jews will seem minor compared to the loathing they are starting to develop for Muslims. Europeans are steadily awakening to the lead anchor they've tied around their necks that forever seeks to pull them down.

17. To David Quito. 13. #8 Holiday in Sweden...
I am sure that everyone knows Spain and Sweden are two different places. But from the sounds of some of the talkbacks, maybe not everyone knows that. I think what that poster of #8 is probably trying to say that last month Sweden was the "media focus of anti Semitic activity" and looks like he was saying Spain is now the media focus on anti Semitism. So, what I take out of post from them is that it's probably just not that bad. But what better way to sell newspapers than to dramatise everything. I know a Jewish family in Madrid and they have a great life and encourage me to visit all the time but too expensive, I will one day. If I believed all the media told me, I'd never vacation to Sweden or Spain. I'd have a lot to learn. If I believed everything I seen from Borat's movie when he visited America, I'd be scared to visit America, or they'd throw me down a well and all the bar would all sing along to that. - thats a scene from his movie by the way, check it. it's shocking blind hatred.

18. They have to; they missed the boat last time
If one were to speak through a psychic with Adolf's spirit, he would surely express the view that Francisco Franco represented a great betrayal. After all the aid the Germans poured into him during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), Franco then chose to remain neutral, to not join in the Axis cause in WW2. Perhaps the descendants of these Falangists are overcome with a sense of guilt, a desire to retroactively do their bit.

19. Typical rant by jews!
This is exactly what the great President Ahmadienjad is talking about. Jews & zionists in particular using the so called "holocaust" to mute any criticism of criminla actions by Israel and other jewsih entities. This has got to stop.
IRAN#1   (09.23.09)
20. #19 Iran #0
The illegitimate low life of Iran uses the Holocaust as a diversion from his human rights abuses, failure as a leader and 24/7 pursuit of nuclear power for non-peaceful purposes. The Holocaust is out of his reach and the UN walk-out reflects the rejection Ahmadinejad has brings to Iran.

21. Holiday in Spain?
Or Sweden Jordan Egypt? NO,No, nO why spend money and time in places where they hate Jews?

22. I know you want Jews to come to Israel,
but Spain is not as bad as you are saying. I have Jewish friends living in Spain for years without a problem. I only hear about how the whole world hates Jews when I'm in Israel or reading Jewish websites like ynetnews.
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.24.09)
23. excuse me?
the exact same poll was taken less than a year ago- are we reusing the same over and over? For those people who do not live in Spain: Jews are not the only ones targeted- there are Arab cartoons, jokes, etc... Christian jokes..... Could the ADL come up with a NEW survey, maybe? And another thing: anti-Jewish slogans are almost all from Arab immigrants- just like in England, France etc... I am not Spanish, but it seems this is a very lopsided survey- besides the fact that it is an old one.. why is there no date? so a man yelled 'dirty Jew'? - Does that mean 40 million Spanish people are anti-semitic?

24. Spain is not member in the arab league
Your information is wrong. Spain is not an arab country and, of course, is not member in the arab league. Spain is much more anti arab than antisemitic country.
