A note on the Antisemites Surveyed
 

• Most of the hundreds of millions of antisemites polled in these few studies have never met a Jew

It is worth noting^[1][1] https://global100.adl.org/did-you-know that 74% of respondents to the ADL survey had never met a Jew; that male respondents (29% Index Score) were slightly more likely than female respondents (24% Index Score) to harbour antisemitic attitudes; and that respondents in predominantly English-speaking countries are half as likely to hold antisemitic views (13% Index Score) as the overall global population surveyed.

• Daniel Goldhagen: “Prejudice is an attribute of the prejudiced people and not of their victims.”

“This is especially true for antisemitism and Jews. Antisemites’ accounts of Jews are regularly such a figment of fantastical imaginings that many antisemitic images and accounts of Jews, including several civilizations’ principal antisemitic discourses, might as well be describing a people that never existed. And, as a matter of fact, most antisemites historically have never met Jews; the object of their canards and hatreds has been wholly invented.”^[2][2] Goldhagen, Daniel Jonah. The Devil That Never Dies (p. 12). Little, Brown and Company. Kindle Edition. [For example] …” In Turkey 74 percent of the people express an unfavorable view of Jews. In Indonesia, it is 66 percent. And in Pakistan it is 76 percent. These are Muslim countries, but not Arab countries, that have little contact with Israel and virtually no Jews or contact with Jews among populations totaling 75 million, 235 million, and 180 million respectively.”^[3][3] Goldhagen, Daniel Jonah. The Devil That Never Dies (pp. 298). Little, Brown and Company. Kindle Edition.
