Different Antisemitisms: On Three Distinct Forms of Antisemitism in C | Page 6

Figure 4:

Based on this, we ask: if the presence of classic antisemitic stereotypes is not what alerts the
Jews in Sweden to find antisemitism to be a problem in their country, are the Jews there and
in the UK, just more sensitive or paranoid about antisemitism? Or are there other elements,
not measured by the ADL-index, that Jews associate with the presence of antisemitism in
these societies?
To find out about that, we ask whether there are any differences in the extent to which
the Jews of the countries have heard a non-Jewish person in the country utter what they
perceive as an antisemitic comment? If there are no significant differences between the
countries in this respect, this might indicate that there are statements other than the classic
antisemitic ones that are perceived as “antisemitism” by the Jews in the country. Figure 5 is a
picture of the percentage of Jewish respondents in the eight investigated countries who
personally within the last 12 months have heard a non-Jewish person utter an antisemitic
comment.
