Almost one third of British adults believe Israel treats Palestinians like Nazis treated Jews, according to new poll [View all]
A recent YouGov poll by King’s College London has revealed almost one third of British adults believe that Israel treats the Palestinians like the Nazis treated the Jews, rising to more than 50 per cent among 18–24-year-olds.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) commissioned KCL to survey British adults’ attitudes towards Jews by analysing their responses to 12 statements related to antisemitism and anti-Zionism. A total of 2,084 adults were surveyed online between 8-11 December 2023, and the responses revealed a high rate of anti-Jewish prejudice particularly among the youngest demographic.
The results reveal that almost one fifth of the British public believes in antisemitic conspiracy theories such as the belief that Israel can get away with anything because its supporters control the media; more than a quarter of 18-24-year-olds believe this. Compared to the general population of British adults (one in 20), double the proportion of 18-24-year-olds (almost one in 10) do not believe that Jewish people are as loyal to Britain as other Brits.
While almost one fifth of the British public believes that Israel and its supporters are a bad influence on our democracy, that rises to over one quarter of 18–24-year-olds.
