(Jewish Group) Fewer than half of UK adults understand meaning of 'anti-Semitism,' poll finds

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Fewer than half of British adults understand what the word “anti-Semitism” means, a poll conducted on behalf of Britan’s Jewish Chronicle has found.

In a survey carried out by Deltapoll, 2,000 adults were asked: “In your own words, what do you understand by the term anti-Semitism?”

According to the newspaper, 47% said they understood the word, but 40% said they did not know its meaning. It was not clear how the remaining 13% answered the question.

Olivia Marks-Woldman, chief executive of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, told the newspaper that given that reports of anti-Semitic incidents are increasing, the poll findings were “deeply concerning.”

This does not surprise me in the least. I chalk it up to people really not giving a shit about Jews, as well as anti-Semitism.
