1. Jesus?........
Alex ,   Boston   (06.07.05)
Let people take shots at us for whatever they want....I could care less, but this Jesus thing is enough. I heard almost nothing about it before that movie came out and now every Westerner is a frickin historian!!!! JESUS WAS GOING TO DIE ANYWAY
2. There's good news here, too.
Shai ,   Israel   (06.07.05)
Do the math: 29% influenced by actions of Israel. Of those, 53% say their opinion is worse because of actions of Israel. From this we can deduce that 47% of the 29% are influenced to approve of Jews because of Israel's actions (the remainder of the population, 71%, are "not influenced at all" by Israel's actions. They have set opinions, for better or worse). Therefore, Israel's actions gained the respect of 47%x29%=13.6%, and lost the respect of 53%x29%=15.3%. Therefore, it seems the sum total loss to Jews as a result of Israel's actions is 15.3%-13.6% = 1.7% of those surveyed have a worse opinion of Jews because of Israel's actions. It's a frequent claim that Israel's actions make everybody hate Jews. Seemingly, this is true of one in 50 only. Hardly a reason to get dyspeptic about Israel's actions. Also, it'd be interesting to see if the actions of Al Queda or Palestinian or Iraqi suicide bombers have any impact on what people think of Muslims.
3. Go on Alex
(06.07.05)
go on you and all like you speaking by this uncivilized way and the result that the hate to the Jews will grow more and more up around the world ... you didn't learn from the past ... such statistic is a warning to the Jews to go back to the international comunity and to live normal like the rest of the world or one day you will be isolated more and there will be no mercy and the holocost will not help you forever or the antisimitisim will not not be enough to forgive you .... go on bla bla the day will come no way
4. Spirit of the Holocaust still alive.
Matthias Roth ,   Switzerland   (06.07.05)
This poll should show everyone that the spirit that led people to commit the mass murder of Jews is still alive and well. It is the same spirit that wants certain regions of the world ethnically cleansed of Jews, even their homeland! Mankind does not have a very good memory. And the less people of have experienced the Holocaust are alive, the more probably will it be that history repeats itself. This shows the importance of Memorials like Yad VaShem!
5. i thought the point of news was to let us know what's..new
yiftah ,   israel   (06.07.05)
europe hates jews? here i was wondering what that whole world war ii was all about
6. Jews Who Live In Europe Are Fools
(06.07.05)
Have they never learned any history? Are they braindead? Fer cryin' out loud, read the frikin' writing on the wall. And leave before they toast you like they toasted 6 million of us. Let the Muslims have Europe.
7. Un-Do the math Shai
Ariel   (06.07.05)
People like you who think and behave too cleaver, are the cause of all this, look at my math Mr. .Ariel Sharon. So kill more people the world would love more and people of Israel would always think of you as the Grand Father or the Gad father. I truly believe people like you are so dangerous, they twist and spin any thing and create moral justification for any inhuman immoral unethical action as long as you can make some material gain out of it and polish your ego. Remember you are talking about peoples lives in here their future their very existence today, and any human being is more important than your deceiving Do the Math scam.
8. The coming EuroCaliphate
Alan ,   United Kingdom   (06.07.05)
Dont worry ,in another few years" Europe" will have foregotten what a Christian is...The EuroCaliphate is coming....All those Memorial Days for Holocaust victims sponsored by "crocodile tears" European Christian Do-gooders will then mercifuly be relegated to the realm of forgotten aberations. All the stories of the wicked Jews and their malign influence in the world just helps the rapid advance to the EuroCaliphate.
9. It is zionism which causes people to commit crimes
Sal Azam ,   United States   (06.07.05)
Zionism is a dirty and filthy concept, idea and philosophy and it makes a person or group comitt crimes against the country of their residence and birth with the sick thinking that every crime they are committing is a virtue and will be rewarded and not a sin. Those Jews who don't practice zionism like Israeli espionage (Katsas and Sayanims) like Jonathan Pollard and others and follow the real teachings of prophet Moses and Jesus which is the Ten Commandments and the real teachings of the Torah are just, loyal citizens of their country. Alot of them are busting organized crime in the United States apprehending criminals who play the race and religion card. Zionism is a disease and one can support Israel without commiting or making others commit horrible crimes like Israeli espionage, assasinations, controlling of a country's foreign policy, financial and banking institutes, media and the organized mafia. People Jews or Non Jews can support Israel without being a zionist criminal.
10. Response to 7
Shai ,   Israel   (06.07.05)
Nothing was twisted or spinned, "Ariel", if that's your real name. Use your head, and read what was written, not what you "felt" was written. The facts spoke for themselves. For better or worse, people's minds in Europe are made up about "Jews" so much so that whatever Israel does is just as likely to result in an improved image of Jews than it results in a worse view. This disproves the claims of Palestinian supporters who say that anti-Jew behavior in Europe is a result of Israel's actions. It is rather a result of a deeply inbred European bigotry against Jews, full stop, period. Jews nor Israel can do little about it but move away. I have my own views regarding whether what Israel does is or isn't right, but what I wrote didn't address that. It only noted that whatever Israel does, right or wrong, has no impact on whether people in Europe love Jews or not. That's how the numbers work out, and I made no argument about ethics or justification of anything else whatsovever. All that was what you "read between the lines".

Emad ,   Switzerland   (06.07.05)
Come on , you live in Switzerland and you don't know how the Swiss think about the Jews and about Israel .... go to the streets and ask without telling them that you are Jew .... and tell us please what they said ..... if you can .... the Swiss will never forget the blackmailing the Jews did with the help of the Americans to get money from the Swiss banks without proving any rights for this money , ask the the Swiss about Israel ... and keep it for your self because i know what they will say ....
12. Jews have too much power
Birdi ,   Ramat Gan   (06.07.05)
The reason the Jews have too much power is because they have the brains & the determination to progress in life.
13. To .10 .TOO clever One..!
Ariel   (06.07.05)
You cannot help it you have to have a smart comment or a dig somewhere some how and spin here and too cleaver upside down logic their.

16. To Emad Ariel and Azam
Alex ,   Australia   (06.08.05)
You three are classic examples of ignorance and brainwashing. Over and over you make the same old comments which only show that you have no real understanding of history or religion. You all seem to ignore the way the muslim religion advocates the killing of Jews and finds a way to justify it in the name of G-D. How misguided is that?! If you three had any good knowledge of history you would see the ludicrous nature of your opinions, however people like you all over the muslim world and in Europe don't want to know the truth because it only serves to undermine all the sick propaganda you have had shovelled down your throats since you were born. People like you are the real danger for the future of this world but remember what you put out comes back to you, in this life or the next!
17. Jews and Money
Anonymous   (06.08.05)
To all of you on that infantile rant about Jews and money, have you ever seen the revolting conspicuous consumption of some of the Saudi sheiks or the oil-besotted Sultan of Brunei? And what about Saddam and his gaudy palaces that were built on the backs of the Iraqi people who were supposed to be the ones to receive that money. I can't believe how much hypocrisy is being spewed out on this site.
18. The evil of Jew-hate continues to plague Europe
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (06.08.05)
20% across Europe continue to blame Jews for the death of Jesus. How can people be so incredibly ignorant, uneducated and full of hate??? These people have either never read the New Testament or have read it and utterly rejected its teaching. Roman soldiers crucified Jesus! But, have you noticed? No one condemns the Italians! In Luke 23, On the cross, Jesus said: "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." Jesus forgave them all! 1 Corinthians 10:31 "...whatever you do, do all to the glory of G-D. GIVE NO OFFENSE TO JEWS..." Sal Azzam declares zionism is a dirty and filthy concept, etc. etc. Zechariah 1:14: 'Thus says the L-RD of hosts, "I am exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and Zion" G-D is for Zion and zionism! 43% believe Jews are more loyal to Israel than to their own country. Israel is the cherished Holy Land of Jews and Christians. Of course, Israel is very special to us. Does that mean we are less loyal to the countries we are citizens of? Of course, not! Jews and Christians have an extremely high level of loyalty to the countries they are citizens of because the Bible teaches those concepts.
19. Not Suprising
Uri Stein ,   Ramat Aviv, Israel   (06.08.05)
I have lived in France, Switzerland, and the UK... I often overheard, what most would label as 'average,' people talk about Jews in a hostile manner... The hard-Rightists hate everyone equally, blacks, Jews, etc.. The hard-leftists (it's morose to admit, but Israelis are included!) have a desirously venomous hatred of Jews, it's very frightening.. I would call it Nazi-esque.. and are quick to stand up for Muslims at the pissing of a qu'ran.. (I forgot to add, to them, anti-Semitism is not wrong... they view it as a necessity in eliminating what their twisted little minds view as evil) I, as a former leftist, find it peculiar to focus so much time demonizing Israel (a marvelously moral nation, made up of people who love life and want to make the world a better place, yet is the target of hundreds of millions of Arabs who constantly attempt to ethnically cleanse the Jews from their homeland) instead of focusing on colossal problems, like Sudan, where the Arabs are ethnically cleansing the Blacks (christian or muslim) as they did to the Lebanese and are trying with the Jews.. AIDS is said to double in 10 years, hundreds of millions are facing death,,, Global Warming is dangerous, and it is said that soon most of the world's land will be desert... Poverty and hunger plague places like Africa and India.. even Arab states, where their Islamo-Despotic leaders take the hordes of the oil money for themselves... The mass suffering of woman in Islamic nations is heartbreaking, and, of course, the dangers of Radical Islam, which seeks to eliminate all non-Muslims and drag mankind to the dark ages..... Instead of focusing on the major problems that we face today, extremists from both sides of the aisle, but increasingly from the left, have found an easy way out: blaming the Jews
20. silly Sal
cliff from montreal ,   Canada   (06.08.05)
You go girl.You tell it like it is girl! Dear silly sal,please remember to mention that here in North America almost every scam available is run by your fellow muslim criminals. You must be proud of your flock.So what's your excuse? What is the root cause of muslim crime?
21. jews have too mush power
David Ptito ,   Petah Tikva, Israel   (06.08.05)
As a jew who lived in Belgium for 30 years I am surpised that you are surprised by those survey results..?? For years, i worked for an american cy as Comptroller until my transfer to Le Havre (France) where I have been told by "old collegues" that "people like me, There are more than enough in France".
22. to Alex and Linda
Emad ,   Switzerland   (06.08.05)
alex you are a real fanatic Jew , your way of thinking it's this kind wich can leads to wars , civilized person even he do not belive in somthing he should respect those who belive in it but because the civilization of the Jews is a fake one so you make it a la carte and when the point hurting you get agreciv and uncivilized ... and to Linda , come on Linda the romans that time they were like the Americans now , stick in the hand of the Jews to beat the others , the Jews used them to kill Jesus , they gave the injektion from under the table and played like the inocent sheep like they had nothing to do this an old Jew game you play till now , the American till now falling in this Jewish traps , you send the Americans to the wars and you stay watching from far away , the poor American soldiars who died in Irak are your victims ... and civilized people when they speake about such sensetiv point they don't say (THIS Jesus ) , you can be civilized in the high tech but mentaly not yet because the hate inside covering your brains and your hearts ... so learn how to respect the others that the others respect you too ... and that's why most of the world don't respect you because they feel that you have only respect to what's Jew
23. European press strenghtens anti-Semitism
GABOR ,   BUDAPEST, HUNGARY   (06.08.05)
I think the survey must be true. Unfortunately European press is widely influenced by left-wing concerns about "helping the poor and the week". European people are manipulated by this left-wing solidarity with "oppressed" Palestinians. In Hungary and other Central-East European countries the case is similar but anti-Semitism here is reinforced by right-wing extremists. Because of the sens of guilt experienced after Holocaust in Eastern Europe, our left-wing politicians see the Jews as victims, while right-extremists tend not to accept the exictence of the State of Israel either and contunie to hate everything which is Jewish. Fortunately, they represent a very small -but loud- minority against which the official politics in Hungary tries to take firm steps. Popular anti-Semitism is there that I proved personally when I came back from my holiday in Israel. A 45-50 years old woman asked me about the "Holy Land" while she was consistently avoiding the usage of the name of Israel. When I asked her wheter she was an anti-Semite, she answered with hate in her eyes: "For me there is only Palestine and I think all the Jews should be deported to an island!"... Other people were there around and somebody -a young man- gave her a lesson! I also explained her that she should learn more about history trying to keep her opinion to herself as a kind of incitement against minorities is illegal in Hungary and subject to leagla punishment. I think something positive is however in the air, especially in our country where initiatives to combat anti-Semitism have been made in recent years.
24. To Alex
Hannibal ,   Jordan   (06.08.05)
if Islam really teachs to kill Jews, then sephardic jews should be Extinct by now. Do you remember the Jews in Andulcia at what era they lived peacfully & flourished . Do you know who butchered them & where did some fled to. Go to the history books. The creation of Israel & zionist movement made the Arabs & muslims anti-jewish.
25. Re:Birdi, Ramat Gan
GABOR ,   BUDAPEST, HUNGARY   (06.08.05)
Only Jews have the brain? Don't you think, "goyim" are anti-Semitic because of such statements like yours???? Think over!
26. RE: Shai, Israel
GABOR ,   BUDAPEST, HUNGARY   (06.08.05)
You have right! Because of Muslim terror neither Arabs have a good reputation in Europe, or elsewhere.
27. Again: European press strenghtens anti-Semitism
GABOR ,   BUDAPEST, HUNGARY   (06.08.05)

28. Jews have too much power
Birdi ,   Israel   (06.08.05)
an answer for Gabor.no 25. Re-read my words Gabor, I did NOT write,"only jews have brains" No I dont think my words cause anti-semitism.
29. Jews & money
Birdi ,   Israel   (06.08.05)
To no.14. Maybe the reason the Jewish people "sit on their money" "try to get everything free as possible" worry not to get hungry' is because they are & have been a persecuted people????? What is an "evel" please????
30. BIRDI
(06.08.05)
But WHy were they persecuted? Why cant most countries live with Jews? Why have jews been thrown out of I believe almost every country , they ever lived in? I dont think its the "goys' fault. I think its the jewish mentality- whereas jews do not assimialte, or treat gentiles as equals.
