(NEWS) Poll: One In Three Spaniards Is Anti-Semitic

"Survey released on the eve of Rosh Hashanah also finds one in nine Spaniards think that Israel should 'disappear '.

A new poll by the Spanish government released on the eve of Rosh Hashanah in Madrid shows that one in three Spaniards is anti-Semitic, maintaining negative opinions about Jews. Another 46 percent had favorable views of Jews.

One in nine Spaniards, the survey found, supports the statement that 'Israel should disappear because it was established on Arab land.' Another 77 percent disagree with the statement. The results of the study indicate that the major cause of the rise in anti-Semitic feelings is Israel's policy toward the Palestinians in the territories."
