The Anti-Defamation League this week released the results of a comprehensive international survey of anti-Semitic attitudes. The Palestinian Authority topped the list of the 10 places on earth with the highest level of anti-Semitism. This result underscores the importance of the Israeli demand that the Palestinian political leadership cease its incitement against Israel.
“For the first time we have a real sense of how pervasive and persistent anti-Semitism is today around the world,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL national director. “The data from the Global 100 Index enables us to look beyond anti-Semitic incidents and rhetoric and quantify the prevalence of anti-Semitic attitudes across the globe. We can now identify hotspots [of anti-Semitism], as well as countries and regions of the world where hatred of Jews is essentially nonexistent.”
The top such anti-Semitism hotspot, the survey noted, was the West Bank and Gaza, where the ADL found that anti-Semitic attitudes topped 93%. The survey goes on to rank countries and territories from most to least anti-Semitic.
The Times observes further:
Unlike most of the world, however, anti-Semitism in the Middle East and North Africa tends to increase commensurate with the respondents’ education levels – the opposite of what is seen in Europe, Asia and the Americas.
The consistent decades-long policy of incitement and glorifying terror by both the Palestinian Authority and the Hamas leadership in Gaza have apparently made an impression on the populations of the West Bank and Gaza.
Adi Schwartz showed in The Palestinian Textbook Fiasco in the June 2013 issue of The Tower Magazine how such anti-Israel indoctrination starts in Palestinian schools.
