Survey: Almost Half of Young European Jews Experience Anti-Semitism
(Irish Times) Patrick Smyth - 44% of young Jewish people in Europe aged 16-34 have experienced anti-Semitic harassment in the past year, although 80% did not report it, according to a new EU report on anti-Semitism in Europe. 4% said they had experienced a physical anti-Semitic attack in the last year. Victims of anti-Semitic harassment or violence are most likely to describe their assailant as "someone with a Muslim extremist view." 44% choose not to wear, carry or display Jewish items in public because they are concerned about their safety. 38% have considered emigrating because they did not feel safe living in Europe.
