6 in 10 French people think Jews are responsible for anti-Semitism, survey finds

[Behind the Aegis]

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!

A total of 59 per cent of French people think members of the Jewish community are at least partially responsible for anti-Semitism, a survey conducted by the Fondation de Judaisme Français and Ipsos has suggested.

The foundation surveyed 1,005 people who “constituted a sample representative of the French population” online over nine days.

Respondents were asked whether they thought Jews held part of the responsibility for anti-Semitism in France.

Of the 59 per cent that answered yes, three per cent thought they had ‘a very important part’ and 14 per cent said they had a ‘significant’ part.

Over half of respondents said Jewish people had a lot of power and were richer than the average French person.

A total of 13 per cent of respondents thought there were too many Jewish people in France, despite the Jewish community only making up one per cent of the population.

2. It is.

But IMO, wholly unsurprising.

The "To Figure This Out, You Had To Do A Freaking STUDY?" category.

Substitute "Jews" with any race, gender, ethnicity, religion, or even political persuasion and you'll get the same results. Avoiding accountability is the main tool in any oppressor's tool box.

4. Actually, the study is useful.

Especially so, since there are so many who try to claim anti-Semitism isn't a real issue or problem and it is just Jews being paranoid. It is the Jewish version of those who claim "post-racial America" to be a real thing.

6. Unsurprised

The USA is reasonably free of such people, excepting among black populations where the majority hold to anti-Semitic beliefs for reason unknown to me and Muslim populations, which are overwhelmingly anti-Semitic, for reasons related to religious and cultural beliefs.
