Augmentation des attitudes antisémites en Europe

- - Thème: Antisémitisme
Un sondage conduit par l’organisation juive américaine Anti-Defamation League (ADL), à travers cinq pays européens, révèle que 51 % d’Européens pensent que les Juifs sont plus fidèles à Israël qu’à leur propre pays et qu’ils ont trop de pouvoir dans le monde des affaires (39 %) et la finance (44 %), rapporte la presse israélienne.
25 % des personnes interrogées affirment que leur opinion envers les Juifs est influencée par la politique en Israël et 52 % affirment que les actions israéliennes ont aggravé l’image des Juifs.
Un grand nombre d’Européens conserve des attitudes antijuives, s'accrochant aux stéréotypes antisémites classiques et aux théories de conspiration qui ont affectés les Juifs pendant des siècles. 20 % des sondés leur reproche d’être responsable de la mort de Jésus Christ.
Cette étude a été faite en France, en Italie, en Allemagne, en Espagne et en Pologne, entre le 21 mars et le 16 avril 2007.
Pour ce qui est des perceptions françaises, à la question posée « les Juifs sont-ils selon vous plus fidèles à Israël qu’à leur pays ? » 39% des sondés répondent que c’est « plutôt vrai » (contre 29% en 2005). A la question « les Juifs ont-ils trop de pouvoir dans le monde des affaires », 28% des sondés répondent que c’est « plutôt vrai » (contre 25% en 2005). A la question « les Juifs ont-ils trop de pouvoir sur les marchés financiers » 28% des sondés répondent que c’est « plutôt vrai » (contre 24% en 2005).
Enfin, à la question « Pensez-vous que les Juifs parlent encore trop de ce qui s’est passé pendant la Shoah » 40% des sondés (contre 34% de 2005) répondent encore « plutôt vrai ».

A large number of Europeans continue to be infected with anti-Jewish attitudes, holding on to the classical anti-Semitic canards and conspiracy theories that have dogged Jews through the centuries, according to a new poll released by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Monday.
A survey of five European countries revealed that a plurality of Europeans believe Jews are more loyal to Israel than to their country and that they have too much power in business and finance.

Full story
The opinion survey of 2,714 adults – slightly more than 500 in each of the five countries – found an increase in negative attitudes toward Jews, or in some instances no change, from its 2005 findings.
As to attitudes regarding Israel and the Middle East, the poll showed mixed findings. For example, sympathy for the Palestinians over Israel continues but strong attitudes against Iran and Hamas were evidenced.
Asked about Iran’s nuclear development, a majority believe Iran is developing a nuclear weapon and strongly support sanctions against Iran.
A majority identified Hamas as a terrorist organization and supported the European decision not to provide foreign aid to the Palestinian government until Hamas renounces terrorism, and agrees to recognize Israel and agreements signed by Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

ADL: Large portion of Europeans feel Jews too powerful in business

A study conducted by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) among five European countries found rising anti-Semitism, including beliefs that Jews possess too much power in business and finance, the ADL announced Monday.
"A large number of Europeans continue to be infected with anti-Jewish attitudes, holding on to the classical anti-Semitic canards and conspiracy theories that have dogged Jews through the centuries," said the organization in a press release.
The study, which was distributed among 2,714 adults in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and Poland, found that negative attitudes toward Jews increased, or in some instances did not change, when compared to a similar study conducted in 2005.

The ADL study found that 39 percent of respondents believe that "Jews have too much power in the business world," while 44 percent said they agreed with the statement that "Jews have too much power in international financial markets."
Overall, 20 percent of respondents said they blame Jews for the death of Jesus.
ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman said the study marked the first time that the organization decided to examine the connection between criticism of Israeli government policy and increased anti-Semitic sentiment.
In a Jerusalem press conference, Foxman said the results prove there is indeed a linkage between the two. "We still can't say how reservations about Israeli policy affects the anti-Jewish sentiment and to what extend, but the fact that there is a relationship between the two phenomena is significant," he said.
51 percent of respondents said they feel Jews are more loyal to Israel than to their home country. 25 percent said their opinion of Jews is influenced by Israel's actions, and 52 percent of those said Israel's actions has worsened their views on Jews.
Responding to a reporter's question, Foxman said "biased media coverage" of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a contributing factor to anti-Semitic beliefs among the public.
In addition, nearly half of all respondents, including a majority of respondents from Spain and Poland, said they believe American Jews control the United States' foreign policy in the Middle East.
"The findings of this survey demonstrate that individual governments and the EU, who have condemned anti-Semitism and sought ways to counteract it, need to find methods and implement programs that will break down the old stereotypes that die hard, and take leadership to make anti-Semitism unacceptable in their societies," said Foxman.
The survey also examined the respondents' attitudes toward the Palestinian unity government and the Iranian nuclear issue.
"A majority identified Hamas as a terrorist organization and supports the European decision not to provide foreign aid to the Palestinian government until Hamas renounces terrorism, and agrees to recognize Israel and agreements signed by Israel and the Palestinian Authority," said the ADL.
However, a majority also said they do not believe Israel had the right to respond militarily to the abduction of its soldiers last summer.
Regarding Iran, 67 percent of respondents said they believe Iran's nuclear program is at least partially military in nature, and only 14 percent said the program is intended solely for civilian energy purposes.
