A new UK poll reveals that 24% of British adults agreed with the following statement: “Israel treats the Palestinians like the Nazis treated the Jews.” Campaign Against Antisemitism's latest Antisemitism Barometer, conducted with King’s College London. It comprises a YouGov poll of the British public’s views toward Jews and a CAA poll of the Jewish community, to be published on Thursday.
The Barometer’s poll of the British public’s views towards Jews utilises the Generalised Antisemitism Scale. The survey was designed and analyzed by Dr. Daniel Allington of King’s College London, with fieldwork carried out by YouGov. Using the 12-question Generalised Antisemitism Scale, the survey shows that 57% of British adults do not harbor any antisemitic views; they did not affirm a single one of the 12 statements.
The other side of the coin, however, is that there is a deeply troubling normalization of antisemitism, as 43% of British adults did affirm at least one antisemitic statement, although over half of them only agreed with only one or two antisemitic statements.
