"The ADL's Anti-Semitism Survey explodes the Myth that Criticism of Israel is motivated by anti-Semitism"
"The Anti-Defamation League's monumental anti-Semitism survey produced a host of insightful results.......critical of Israel's occupation policy for a very simple reason: It contradicts their value of universal human rights. Israel's occupation is seen as denying Palestinians their basic human and political rights, and liberals see this as unacceptable. Period.......These people do not have a single anti-Semitic bone in their bodies, and will not be beaten into silence by Israel's right wingers droning on about how anti-Semitic Israel's critics are.
At the same time Israel's right wingers consistently make the most horrible of mistakes by associating with European parties and politicians from the extreme right. They believe that they find allies there, because Europe's extreme right currently sponsors Islamophobia. Israel's right wingers come to the simplistic conclusion that European rightists must therefore be genuine friends of Israel, because they suffer from a profound confusion: They still haven't realized that bigotry is an illness that, when convenient, will turn against Jews as well. "
So right-wing kooks, when are you Fascists going to turn on Jews?
>>The highest concentration of anti-Semitic attitudes was found in the Middle East and North Africa, the survey showed, led by the West Bank and Gaza, where 93 percent of respondents held such views, followed by Iraq at 92 percent, Yemen at 88 percent and Algeria at 87 percent. The areas where anti-Semitic attitudes were least prevalent were Oceania, the Americas and Asia. In Laos, less than 1 percent of the population held such views, the lowest anywhere, the survey said.<<
