None

Young Jewish Europeans experience more anti-Semitism than their parents, with a rise in abuse coming in emails, text messages and social media postings, according to a European Union study released on Thursday.

 

Around 44% of respondents aged 16-34 said they had suffered harassment, more than double the proportion for over-60s, according to the survey by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights.

 

More than 80% of Jews of all ages said they felt anti-Semitism had increased on the internet over the past five years and around 70% said they faced more hostility in public.
