Article: Israel And The Last Days
Close to a third of people around the world believe that the Holocaust is greatly exaggerated or a myth, and over a quarter hold anti-Semitic views, an extensive global survey commissioned by the Anti-Defamation League has shown.
Thirty-two percent of those who have heard of the Holocaust believe it is "either a myth or has been greatly exaggerated." Of the total respondents, ADL said that 26 percent harbor anti-Semitic attitudes, which translates to 1.09 billion people worldwide.
Taking a look at the most widely accepted anti-Semitic stereotypes, the poll found that 41 percent of respondents answered "probably true" to the statement "Jews are more loyal to Israel than to this country/the countries they live in."
