Survey shows high levels of antisemitism in Morocco and globally
Sunday 19 January 2025 - 15:40

A recent global survey conducted by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and research partners reveals that 61% of Moroccans believe Jews are solely loyal to Israel, while 62% blame Jews for most of the world’s wars. 

Only 12% of Moroccans have a positive view of Israel, whereas 94% hold favorable opinions of Palestine, and 52% support the Islamic resistance movement Hamas.

The survey also shows that 70% of Moroccans hold antisemitic views, although this represents a decline from 80% in a similar 2014 survey. 

62% believe Jews overly emphasize the Holocaust, and 31% think the number of Jewish victims is exaggerated. 

Three percent deny the Holocaust altogether.

On a global scale, 46% of the population, or about 2.2 billion people, hold antisemitic views, a significant rise from 26% a decade ago.
