The poll, conducted using our panel of the GB Jewish population, also found that where antisemitic rallies do take place, counter-demonstrations would be backed by a majority of the Jewish community. The Jewish Chronicle's take on the findings can be read here.
Key findings:
- Nearly three quarters (72%) of British Jews believe that antisemitic groups should not be permitted to stage peaceful demonstrations in Jewish areas.
- A firm majority (62%) of the Jewish community believe that Jewish people should hold counter-demonstrations to antisemitic rallies.
- Asked whether Islamist Extremists or Neo-Nazis were feared the most by British Jews, three in five people (61%) said that they were most concerned by Islamist Extremists with only 16% saying that they were most concerned by Neo-Nazis.
- Nearly two-thirds (64%) of the Jewish community believe that Holocaust denial should be a criminal offence in the UK.
