As it turns out, this revolting sentiment is very much alive and kicking in the world today. <a href=\"http:\/\/global100.adl.org\/\">New data<\/a> from the Anti-defamation League reveal, in chilling numbers, how bad the situation actually is. In an unprecedented survey covering 86% of the entire world population, they have gauged negative attitudes toward the Jews, and the results aren&#8217;t pretty. In total, 1.09 <em>billion<\/em> people in the surveyed nations are estimated \u00a0to harbor antisemitic views; and 35% have never heard about the Holocaust. Worse, <em>only 33% of the surveyed population believe the Holocaust is a reality as described by history; 32% believe it is either a myth or grossly exaggerated<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>As for <em>where<\/em> in the world the problem is at its worst, well, I wouldn&#8217;t need the survey to answer the question.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3354\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3354\" style=\"width: 948px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/files\/2014\/05\/mena.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3354\" alt=\"Middle East &amp; North Africa\" src=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/files\/2014\/05\/mena.jpg\" width=\"948\" height=\"707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/files\/2014\/05\/mena.jpg 948w, https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/files\/2014\/05\/mena-300x223.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 948px) 100vw, 948px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3354\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Middle East &amp; North Africa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A whopping 65% of people in the Middle East and North Africa believe it is probably true that &#8220;Jews are responsible for most of the world&#8217;s wars&#8221;!
