ADL: 2 in 3 Israeli teens report experiencing anti-Semitism online

[oberliner]

Two in three Israeli teenagers have experienced some form of anti-Semitic expression on the Internet, according to an Anti-Defamation League poll published on Tuesday.

One in three young Israelis surveyed also reported being the victim of an online, anti- Semitic attack just because they are Israeli.

It is “shocking” that “with the Internet, it has brought the experience of anti-Semitism to Israeli youth,” ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman said on Thursday.

Foxman said he assumed that because they did not live in Diaspora, most Israelis were sheltered from anti-Semitism.

The poll, which has a margin of error of ±4.4 percentage points, was conducted by Geocartography Knowledge Ltd. They surveyed five hundred Jewish teens between the ages of 15 to 18 in mid-October.

2. What a weird assumption from Foxman

Most of the internet is a sewer. Easily 70% of the content is either laughable garbage, or infuriating garbage. The percentage goes up, according to where you go, but never really goes down.

Still, better than Xbox live.

3. with all due respect Mr Foxman needs to get out more if he simply doesn't understand

no one is sheltered from anything no matter where they happen to live, while on the internet-the nearest to shelter you'll find comes mostly in 2 forms censorship at the governmental level or net nanny type programs
