Yesterday the Anti-Defamation League released the ADL Global 100, a worldwide study of anti-Semitic attitudes. It’s a big, comprehensive report, and it includes some fascinating results — Iran, for instance, has less anti-Semitism than anywhere else in the Middle East or North Africa. And 35 percent of the world’s population has never even heard of the Holocaust, which is horrifying.
But the way the organization decided to measure hatred of Jewish people is a little bit odd and potentially misleading, and it highlights how tricky it is to track this sort of thing across different cultures. CONT.
