The majority of young European Jews express a strong Jewish identity despite feeling unsafe due to rising anti-Semitism, a new study conducted by the European Union’s Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) has found.

Forty-four percent of those polled said that they had been victims of anti-Semitic harassment, while 85% reported “that people in their countries accuse or blame them for anything done by the Israeli government at least ‘occasionally.'”

Nearly half of respondents said that they did not believe they were receiving adequate protection from their governments and 45% stated that they “choose not to wear, carry or display distinguishable Jewish items in public because they are concerned about their safety.”

According to FRA, 41% of young Jews have considered emigration “because they did not feel safe living there as a Jewish

is it because of their Religion

No. Is because Europe (as almost everywhere in the world) has an antisemitism problem.

The US had the tea party movement a few years before he started his political career.

In Europe far-right movements being on the rise started before that too.

I think he's a part of this change, not the trigger.

What is more anti-semitic in Europe in 2019? The far right or the far left?

They will have limited options for places to emigrate in, sadly.

Anti semitism are on rise in many places, not just in Europe.

Hard to say...

You really find it among a part of the far right and a part of the far left.

Ive noticed that in France. There's a huge obsession about jews, especially coming from a certain community that I wont mention bcs it'll cause controversy around here :ladyhaha:

But ive seen it, and there are a lot of crimes against jews to this day.

My school is right next to a jewish school for kids and Ive heard some remarks so many times about them... It's crazy to me i dont blame them if they chose to emigrate
