This is copied from weirdjews. Here in Minneapolis, despite it being a very goyische town, it's easy to forget this kind of thing. People I know on lj who live elsewhere are in good-sized cities too. So stuff like this is a good wake-up call for all of us.

Anti-Jewish stereotypes remain consistent

[A Jewish Anti-Defamation League {ADL} ] survey found that 31% of Americans believe Jews are more loyal to Israel than America, down from 33% in 2005; in 2002 it was 33%; in 1998, it was 31%; in 1992; 35%.

More than one quarter - 27% of the American people - believe Jews were responsible for the death of Christ, down from 30% in 2005, up from 25% in 2002.

Fifteen percent of the general population believes that Jews have “too much power in the US” - unchanged from 2005; 67% for those who are the most anti-Semitic.

Twenty percent believe Jews have “Too much power in the business world” and 18% believe Jews have “Too much control/influence on Wall Street, both up one percent from 2005.

"When it comes to Jews, old stereotypes die hard," Foxman said, "especially about loyalty, the death of Jesus, and power. For over 40 years one of the most stable and telling indicators of anti-Jewish prejudice in America has been the question of fundamental Jewish loyalty to the US”

Foxman added that “stereotypes about ‘Jewish power’ in the US have replaced many of the classical ethnic stereotypes previously attributed to Jewish Americans.
