ADL's antisemitism global survey shows Muslim countries are still the most antisemitic - and getting worse..
The ADL released its survey of global attitudes towards Jews in most (but far from all) countries.
As it always does, the ADL asks people whether they agree with a series of 11 classic antisemitic tropes. Only those people who believe in a majority of them are considered for the calculations of this index. So there are plenty of people who harbor several antisemitic attitudes that do not get counted as antisemites in this survey.
The single most common factor to determine whether a country is antisemitic is whether it is a Muslim country. Not region, not socio-economic status, not politics - simply the majority religion.
There is also reason to believe that antisemitism in Western democratic countries is undercounted, because liberals are conscious of looking antisemitic. Directly asking whether they believe Jews have too much influence in world affairs is likely to make people not want to appear antisemitic. So surveys in Western countries do not capture the embarrassed antisemites, and other surveys that use more subtle methods must be used.
