Nearly half of Americans hold anti-Semitic views, a survey has revealed. It also found that one in eight US citizens surveyed (13 percent) thought Jews used talking about the Holocaust to get sympathy.
A "Gallup" asked 3,411 US adults about their attitudes toward USA Jewish citizens. It found that 45 percent polled believed at least one anti-Semitic view presented to them was “definitely or probably true.”
Many found clichés and stereotypes about Jews to be true. One in four believed Jewish people “chase money more than others,” while one in six people felt Jews thought they were better than other people and had too much power in the media.
The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism (CAA), which commissioned the study, said America was at a“tipping point” in its Annual Anti-Semitism Barometer report.
Around 6,768,855 Jewish people live in the USA, or 2.2 percent of the American population, according to CAA.
The survey also found that one in 10 people (11 percent) claimed Jews were not as honest in business as other people, while one in five believed their loyalty to Israel made US Jewish citizens less loyal to the US, and 10 percent of all surveyed said they would be unhappy if a relative married a Jewish person.
Last year, police recorded a record number of anti-Semitic attacks.

ANTI-SEMITISM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACT OF CONDEMNING ZIONISM?
WHY ARE WE ALLOWED TO CRITICIZE APARTHEID AND ETHNIC CLEANSING EXCEPT WHEN CRITICIZING THE ZIONUTS?
WHY ARE SOME JEWS "ANTI-SEMITIC" FOR CRITICIZING ZIONISM?
.
Here we go with the bullshit and misrepresentations. Jews aren't criticizing "Zionism" which is whether or not the Jewish state has a right to exist. Israel is a vibrant democracy, and just like the US where you have democrats and republicans criticizing various policies, you have the same in Israel. But they aren't wishing the end of the Jewish state just as much as Dems and Repubs don't want the end of America.
As Martin Luther King Jr. eloquently said, "when people say antizionism, they mean antisemitism."
AS CONTUMACIOUS L. FREEMAN ELOQUENTLY STATED::
ANTI-ZIONISM MEANS ANTI-ZIONISM
AND NOTHING ELSE.
And what do think are "anti-Zionists" against?!

"Martin Luther King Jr. is also attributed with having said, "When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You're talking anti-Semitism," in response to a student who had attacked Zionism during a dinner event with Dr. King in 1968."
