Is Anti-Semitism in Spain Really Endemic?
(Ha'aretz) Adar Primor - "Casa Sefarad" - a branch of the Spanish Foreign Ministry working to strengthen ties with Israel and the Jewish world - presented a recent survey showing that only 35% of the Spanish public have negative opinions about Jews - a dramatic decrease compared to the 2009 ADL and 2008 Pew surveys. 85% of Spaniards think "the Jews have a right to live peacefully within secure and recognized borders" and 78% reject the statement "Israel should disappear because it was established on Arab land." However, two-thirds hold Jews responsible for the Middle East conflict and see Jews as the main source of the world's problems.
