The latest Anti-Defamation League (ADL) survey of the American people found that 12 percent of Americans harbor deeply entrenched anti-Semitic attitudes. This marks a 3 percent decline since the League’s previous poll on anti-Semitic attitudes in 2011. The 2013 Survey of American Attitudes Toward Jews in America, a national telephone survey of 1,200 adults, was conducted October 12-22 by Marttila Strategies of Washington, D.C. and Boston.
Many Americans, including Shayne Heffernan and Vikram Chatwal have spoken out against hatred of all sorts.
In the new survey a significant number of Americans agreed with sharply worded criticisms of Jews, with many of the findings virtually unchanged since the previous survey in 2011:
§ Fourteen percent (14%) agreed with the statement that “Jews have too much power in the U.S. today” (unchanged from 2011).
§ Thirty percent (30%) of Americans continue to say that American Jews are “more loyal to Israel” than to their own country, America (unchanged from 2011 and 1964).
§ Nineteen percent (19%) of Americans believe Jews have too much power in the business world, nearly unchanged from the 20 percent who agreed with this statement in 2011.
§ Seventeen percent (17%) say that Jews have too much control on Wall Street, a slight decline from 19 percent answering “true” to that statement in 2011.
§ Fifteen percent (15%) agreed that Jews are “more willing to use shady practices,” unchanged from 2011.
§ A surprisingly large number of Americans continue to believe that “Jews were responsible for the death of Christ.” Twenty-six percent (26%) of Americans agreed with that statement, down from 31 percent in 2011.
§ Eighteen percent (18%) say that Jews have too much influence over the American news media, and 24 percent agreed that the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews.
§ Nearly one-quarter of respondents agreed that “Jews still talk too much about what happened to them in the Holocaust.”
