3. Anti semitism prevalent in America
Mark Jeffery Koch ,   Cherry Hill, USA   (05.13.14)
Anti-semitism is prevalent in America. It fortunately is nothing approaching the 1940's in Europe but all one needs to do is read the thousands of comments posted on American media website every and you will hear the old canards about Jews controlling the economy, the media, the White House, Congress, Foreign Policy, and Hollywood, and that's before the criticisms of Israel and how it treats the Palestinians. I live in a middle class suburb in New Jersey and have Catholic neighbors who have been over my home and whose home I have been to, who, suddenly, in response to something in the news went on a tirade about Jewish control of the media, the economy, and Congress. When I told one of these neighbors that there were less than six million Jews in America she told me that I didn't know what I was talking about and that there were "many millions more." Americans refuse to realize that Jews are far more likely to be school teachers, accountants, salesmen, lawyers, doctors, and computer professionals than they are some mysterious cabal controlling their lives. I have experienced anti-semitism since growing up in the 1950's and it is just as pronounced in 2014. Christians will never stop passing their hatred of the Jews down form generation to generation.
4. "Jews are more loyal to Israel, than the
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.13.14)
country they live in." I VERY MUCH hope so ! That line is NOT necessary a paradigm of Antisemitism, but of Zionism. Of course, it is used as an antisemitic accusation...oh well.
5. And "Haaretz" is their beacon and mouthpiece

6. Infected?
Mike ,   Rishon le Zion   (05.13.14)
Some people may be "infected" with it but a great deal of people here are obsessed with it, to such an extent that it is forbidden to even suggest that it may be not really such an enormous issue.
7. Obama loving ADL is totally useless.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.14.14)
The ADL is totally useless and so is its study. All that matters is how strong Israel and Jews are. By supporting Obama and Jihadi Street, the ADL weakens Israel and Jews and strengthens our foes.
8. What a surprise ;) ,...
split ,   US   (05.13.14)
"41 percent of those surveyed agreed that "Jews are more loyal to Israel than to the countries they live in" - And rightly so, for instance US, there are more American Jews serving in IDF than US Marines ,...
9. The Chicken and the Egg are two different things, what came
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.13.14)
...first is the real question, one is racism, the other is legitimate criticism. Jews are 0.2% of world population, but 11% of US Senate, 11% of Billionaires, overrepresented by a factor of 55. Jews invaded Palestine, resulting in anti-Zionist global terror, 9/11, and multiple wars costing $Trillions, and a million dead and wounded. 9 million Palestinians have lost their country, are second class citizens, refugees, under embargo and occupation. 350 million Muslims in region were made enemies of the West, were forced into the Soviet Bloc, and lived under Cold War dictators for decades, perpetuating their poverty.
10. most gentiles hate jews
arne ,   chicago usa   (05.13.14)
but to various degrees--from deep hatered to a very soft dislike, but that's most, thank god not all.--jews have over the years learned to adjust and that's why they have survived.That's another reason why most jews love Israel, it's their security blanket.
11. When Israel is divided and Jews in
Israeli 2   (05.13.14)
Israel divide themselves harboring criticisms and sometimes even hatred against one another with way too many being anti Torah and wishing Israel to become like one of the Goishe nations - it is indeed surprising that this report does not indicate even more antisemitism.
12. Who are the ADL?
Righteous Zionist ,   Israel   (05.13.14)
Who are the ADL to moan about anti-semitism when they support JStreet? They must be infected themselves. Anyhow how can they speak about 'the world' when the disease is found mostly in Christian and Muslim countries?

moishe   (05.14.14)
a lot of people don't like Jews. at times GOD doesn't like Jews. worst of all is when Jews don't like Jews. being GODs chosen people creates a lot of envy. not that Jews are perfect, mind you. the least the anti Semites could do is to keep the faults true. since Jews have few faults they have to invent outlandish ones. to get inspiration, however, the anti Semites must look at themselves in the mirror. 'nough said.

16. Jewish Achievements Respected
Zechariah   (05.14.14)
Jewish Achievements in Medicine Education and Technology are Respected.Besides Tribalism is full on in many lands in Thailand near civil War the Crises in Ukraine has opened long wounds and in Africa Tribal War is Horrific .Basically alot of People Hate Spitefully .The Jews need to continue their security Policies but all people's have big room for improvement.
17. Great Survey by ADL: 1/4 persons anti-semitic
Chutia ,   New Delhi, India   (05.14.14)
However, it missed out on the fact that 3/4 israelis/jews believe in raising the bogey of anti-semitism to cover up for their crimes in the occupied territories. Nothing like a bit of moaning to ensure no one questions Israel about its occupation of Palestine!
18. All you pinheads here ,...

Jewish trademark - It's easier to point a finger and blame others than do some soul searching and ask yourself why ? ,...

so why do you support obama who sat in a radical antisemitic church for twenty years?!
20. the least antisemitic countries are in asia
CJK   (05.14.14)
it is the continent which is least corrupted by islam and by catholosism.
21. Split #18 stupid
arne ,   chicago usa   (05.14.14)
Jews have rejected Jesus, that's why.
22. Abe Needs Some More Cash
World Citizen ,   the world   (05.14.14)
Donations have been falling off and he's going to retire soon. It's time to show some Nazi movies on HBO and PBS and release some poll that asked questions in such a way that anyone, even Jewish people, would have answered in an "anti-semitic" way. Paranoid yet redux?
23. What do you call 1000 nazis in hell?
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.15.14)
A good start. Don't worry.Be happy. They can't harm the Jewish soul. In Auschwitz a Jew sang each time he saw somebody who seemed to have given up hope,to uplift him. The commander of the camp threatened to kill him if he didn't stop.Our man didn't listen and he had to follow the nazi in an open field where he was ordered to make a grave for himself,what he did while singing.Than he had to take off his clothes.He obeyed partly,since he refused to quit his Tsitsit.The nazi yelled:Why do you need that filthy thing?.He answered:I want everybody to know that i died for Kidush Hashem.You can destroy my body,but my soul is eternal and will go to Gan Eden. While you , after you have killed me,you will go straight to hell. The nazi yells to the Jew: Get dressed and go. And to be sure that he will not sing anymore, he received an exit visa. That's a true story!
24. Cuntia @ #17
Israeli 2   (05.15.14)
Why do you believe or think that the territories that belong to Israel since time immemorial and now occupied by so called "Palestinians" are called occupied territories? Those Palis should leave to where they came from - return to their countries of origin.....don't you think?
25. #18 pinhead: we know why
(05.15.14)
We know why. Most people wouldn't care one way or the other, but they are bombarded 24/7 with false stories about how inhuman Israel is, and by association Jews. They build up a subconscious antipathy that eventually becomes antisemitism. So the real problem is the purveyors of blood libel against Israel: the Israeli and Jewish Leftists.
26. 18 Split,did you ask yourself why..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.14.14)
you are constantly blaming Jews instead of doing some soul searching why you focus on Jews flaws while they have so many good sides?
27. An overlooked small detail !!
Ralf ,   Paris France   (05.14.14)
To # 9 Steve Benassi You just forget a very small point 22 % of Nobel prized people are Jews. Please add that to make your comments more exhaustive.

"Jewish Achievements in Medicine Education and Technology are Respected" - You wouldn't mind to list some of them would you? Skip the dripping hose ;) ,...
29. the jews
arne ,   chicago usa   (05.14.14)
who were the first christians and were forced out by Constantine disavowed -Christ as devine and as a result were vilified.jew hating got nothing to do with power, money or the like--it's the rejection of Christ as godly.i think many Christians also have their doubts, but rather then reject him as devine they celebrate the holidays and go on with their lives.
30. Anti-Semitism is truly demonic in nature!!!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (05.14.14)
