Nearly half of British hold anti-Semitic views — poll
Almost half of British Jewish people fear they have no long-term future in Britain or Europe, while nearly one in two British people hold anti-Semitic views, a pair of surveys published on Wednesday shows.
A poll of 2,230 British Jewish people by the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism (CAA) found that 45 percent feared Jews have no future in Britain, and 58% were concerned they have no long-term future in Europe.
A second survey, conducted by pollster YouGov for the CAA, found anti-Semitic views to be common among British people.
Of the 3,411 adults surveyed, 45% believed at least one statement defined as anti-Semitic.
