(ISRAEL HAYOM) -- For the third year in a row, the American Jewish Committee has released a survey about antisemitism in the United States and found large discrepancies in results between Jewish and non-Jewish respondents.
According to the survey, 60% of non-Jews say antisemitism is a very serious problem or somewhat of a problem in the United States today. By contrast, 90% of Jewish respondents said antisemitism is a very serious problem or somewhat of a problem.
Some 17% of Jews say they were the target of an antisemitic remark in person over the last 12 months. Of those who were targeted, 23% were in the West, 29% in the South, 12% in the Midwest and 14% in the Northeast, according to Holly Huffnagle, AJC's US director for combating antisemitism.
