US Jewish group denounces EU poll saying Israel is threat to world peace [View All]

[Herschel]

A leading US Jewish lobby group denounced as "shocking" and "antisemitic" a poll indicating that 60 percent of Europeans felt Israel was a greater threat to world peace than North Korea, Iran or Afghanistan.

The influential Simon Wiesenthal Center said the European Commission poll of around 7,500 people across the continent that is scheduled to be made public on Monday defied logic and was a "racist flight of fantasy."


"This poll is an indication that Europeans have bought in, 'hook, line and sinker,' to the vilification and demonization campaign directed against the State of Israel and her supporters by European leaders and media," said the center's founder and dean, Rabbi Marvin Hier.

==================

There are clearly anti-semitic feelings in a poll claiming Israel is a greater threat to peace than North Korea. Please!
