A Closer Look at European Anti-Semitism
(Tablet) James Kirchick - Earlier this month, the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights launched its second survey on anti-Semitism, interviewing 16,500 individuals across 12 member states. The findings confirm that European anti-Semitism is predominantly Muslim in origin, followed by the left-wing variety. According to "respondents who experienced some form of anti-Semitic harassment in the past five years," 30% of the perpetrators were Muslim, 21% were people espousing a left-wing view, and 13% expressed a right-wing view.
