Anti-Semitism Comparative Statistics
2014/04/28 Leave a comment
Some good comparative stats on antisemitism by country:
On balance, it appears to me that more of these countries show declines than show increases. But that’s subject to statistical argument, and it doesn’t change the fact that the trends in Europe aren’t as clear as the trend in the U.S. As the Ukraine and U.N. cases illustrate, anti-Semitism is sometimes hyped or manufactured for political advantage. And in the U.S., the Kansas shooting is an outlier. But in some countries, the rate of anti-Semitic incidents is holding steady or even increasing. Each country is different.
The Canadian stats come from B’nai Brith.
Anti-Semitism in Europe: statistics from France, Germany, the U.K., and other countries.
