Antisemitism in Europe

Henry at Crooked Timber posts about a recent Pew survey of antisemitism in Europe. It reminded me of the data released in Germany late last year, which showed different results, apparently, than the Pew study found:

23% of the 1301 people surveyed were found to have “latent antisemitic attitudes” compared to 20% three years earlier.
28% (versus 21% in 1998) agreed that Jews have “too much influence in the world.”
35% (versus 25% in 1998) agreed that Jews feel bound first and foremost to Israel rather than the country in which they live.

The study was conducted by Forsa; its publication corresponded nicely with the Hohmann-Affair.
