Study of anti-Semitism

In a pathbreaking article entitled "Anti-Israel Sentiment Predicts Anti-Semitism in Europe," that appear in The Journal of Conflict Resolution, Small and Yale's Prof. Edward Kaplan demonstrated that Europeans who hold deeply anti-Israeli views are more likely to also have classic anti-Semitic opinions by a significant margin. Looking at populations in 10 European countries, Small and Kaplan surveyed 5,000 respondents, asking them about Israeli actions and classical anti-Semitic stereotypes. "There were questions about whether the IDF purposely targets children, whether Israel poisons the Palestinians' water supply - these sorts of extreme mythologies," Small says. They demonstrated that Europeans whose opinions are extremely anti-Israel, are highly likely to also be anti-Semitic. "The people who believed the anti-Israel mythologies also tended to believe that Jews are not honest in business, have dual loyalties, control government and the economy, and the like," Small says. The study demonstrated that an Israel-hating European is 56% more likely to be anti-Semitic than the average European. "This is extraordinary. It's off the charts," says Small. "If a food or a drug was 56% more likely to cause cancer, it would be taken off the shelf."[2]
