EU Study Found Jews Facing 'Wave of Antisemitism' in Europe | DW News

Jul 12, 2024 | According to a newly published survey, 75 percent of Jews living in Europe feel they are being held responsible for the actions of the Israeli government. That was one of the key findings of the study by the EU's Fundamental Rights Agency. It was compiled before the Hamas terror attacks and the resulting war in Gaza.

Jewish community organizations have separately registered a sharp increase in antisemitic incidents since October 7, 2023.

The EU study found that 80% of respondents feel that antisemitism has grown in their country, with 90% saying they have encountered antisemitism online. Moreover, 76% said they feel they sometimes have to hide their Jewish identity.
