Background: The ADL Global 100: An Index of Antisemitism

^[1][1] https://global100.adl.org/about/global100

The ADL Global 100 consists of surveys of the general public in “101 countries plus the Palestinian Territories in the West Bank & Gaza,”^[2][2] https://global100.adl.org/about/global100 aimed at gauging levels of antisemitic attitudes and adherence to 11 traditional antisemitic stereotypes. Those who answered, “probably true” to six or more questions were deemed to be antisemitic. Please Note: An additional 18% believe only one or two of the statements are “probably true”.^[3][3] https://global100.adl.org/did-you-know

It is worth noting^[4][4] https://global100.adl.org/did-you-know that 74% of respondents to the ADL survey had never met a Jew; that male respondents (29%) were slightly more likely than female respondents (24%) to harbour antisemitic attitudes; and that respondents in predominantly English-speaking countries are half as likely to hold antisemitic views (13%) as the overall global population surveyed.

NOTE: the ADL Global 100 survey does not include Pakistan, a major Muslim country with high levels of antisemitism.

Below we have provided some of the main findings of ADL survey.

Global Results of the ADL Global Index 100 Survey on Antisemitism
