Abstract

This chapter analyzes the data of recent national studies to better ascertain where and how the antisemitism developments have led to a change in the formulation of items or in the design of questionnaires. An antisemitic atmosphere can develop from a whole range of factors: from a wave of anti-Jewish attacks; from events or problematic situations that receive broad media coverage and lead to an #034;agenda- setting-effect#034; in the public; or as a consequence of a noticeable and drastic shift in attitude among the population. The basic methodological task requires isolating within the rejection of Israel a separate motive for hostility to Jews. Studies have confirmed that a high correlation exists between antisemitic attitudes and a negative view of Israeli policies, but it has not been possible to read from this a clear statement about the direction of the influence. Keywords:antisemitism; Europe; Israel; Jews
