In a 2013 research of 5,847 Jews in Europe, 76% thought that antisemitism had increased in the previous five years, while 29% had thought about moving countries as they felt unsafe.[1] A 2023 ADL research found that as many as one-third of Western Europeans believed in stereotypes of Jews. This was reportedly worse in some eastern European countries, particularly Hungary (37%), Poland (35%) and Russia (26%).[2] In Eastern Europe, the level of antisemitism is found to be high.[3] The cause of persistent antisemitism in Europe is under debate.[4][5] A 2024 ADL research found that 46% of world adult population elevated levels of antisemitic attitudes.[6] Notably, 82% of Greece's population believed that "Jews have too much power in the business world,"[7] while 40% of Belgium's population believed that "Jews have too much control over media and global affairs" and 61% believed that "Jews are only loyal to Israel."[7]
