Over 40% of Europeans Hold Anti-Semitic Views

Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Naftali Bennett painted a dark picture of Jewish life in Europe on Sunday, telling the cabinet anti-Semitism on the Continent has reached an “unprecedented” level.

The minister briefs the government on such trends every year immediately prior to International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which falls on Wednesday, January 27.

Jewish emigration from Western Europe had a “record year” in 2015, Bennett said, referring to the almost 7,000 Frenchmen who arrived in Israel over the past year.

Bennett also cited a 2012 study that found that as many as 40% of respondents in many European countries believed Israel was conducting a war of extermination against the Palestinians.
