Poll: Roughly half of U.S. Jews changing behavior because of antisemitism

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP)


Roughly half of American Jewish adults say they have changed their behavior, including where they go or what they wear, out of their fear of antisemitism. A quarter of U.S. Jews have personally experienced targeted antisemitism. And nearly two-thirds (63%) say that American Jews are less secure now than they were a year ago.

Those were some of the findings of a survey released Tuesday morning by the American Jewish Committee, which measured attitudes on antisemitism both within and outside of the Jewish community.

The findings were unsurprising but still “shocking,” AJC CEO Ted Deutch told eJewishPhilanthropy.

1. Disgusting. It's like the 40's all over again for them.

Basically having to hide in their homes in order to stay safe. This needs to stop.

2. I will never understand this:

"A quarter of U.S. Jews have personally experienced targeted antisemitism. And nearly two-thirds (63%) say that American Jews are less secure now than they were a year ago."

Why do people have to make them feel that way?

What is wrong with live and let live?

Decades of hoping and trying to make this change.

Pure, blunt failure.
