Antisemitische Einstellungen und nicht allein gegen die Israel-Stimmung sind mit der Unterstützung politischer Gewalt in den USA verbunden. Während die Kritik an Israel Rechtsaktivismus motivieren kann, ist es antisemitische Vorurteile, die die Bereitschaft vorhersagt, illegale oder gewalttätige politische Handlungen und allgemeine Aggressionen zu unterstützen.

I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

From the linked article:

A new study published in Studies in Conflict & Terrorism provides evidence that antisemitic attitudes, rather than anti-Israel sentiment alone, are linked to support for political violence in the United States. The findings suggest that while criticism of Israel can motivate legal activism, it is antisemitic prejudice that tends to predict a willingness to support illegal or violent political actions and general aggression.

Yeah this is surprising to absolutely no one. The problem is many supposed ‚antisemitism‘ trackers like the ADL conflate criticism of Israel and Zionism with antisemitism.

The Telegraph ran a story at the start of the month claiming 1 in 5 people in Britain were antisemitic, citing a poll that considered criticism of Israel to be antisemitism. Ignoring criticism of Israel the numbers were somrthing like 4 or 5%.

> For example, one item measured belief that “Jewish people chase money more than others,” while another measured agreement with the statement “Israel treats the Palestinians like the Nazis treated the Jews.”

Uhhhhhh—many Jews would find that second statement also antisemitic and a form of Holocaust inversion. It’s certainly an area of ongoing debate, so I’m very interested in what the measure they’ve used is. They don’t actually name it in this article.
