The Anti-Defamation League expressed deep concern on Monday with a European Union survey which found that anti-Semitism is pervasive and deepening across Europe, and it urged the EU to take action to protect Jewish communities threatened by an increasingly hostile environment.
ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said, “The Agency for Fundamental Rights report confirms what we’ve heard anecdotally in recent years: more than ever European Jews are fearing for their safety and questioning whether there is a future for them in their home countries. Not surprisingly, the looming threat of violent anti-Semitism is the root cause of their fear. This pervasive sense of insecurity is unacceptable and must end."
