A survey of 12 European countries conducted by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has revealed that a plurality of Europeans still believe Jews are not loyal to their country and that they have too much power in business and finance. The opinion survey of 6,000 adults, 500 each in 12 European countries, found either minimal decline, no change or, in some cases, an increase in negative attitudes toward Jews from its 2004 findings. The countries surveyed were: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and for the first time, Hungary and Poland. Respondents across the continent were asked a series of indicator questions representing the most pernicious notions of anti-Semitism and whether or not they thought the following four statements were "probably true" or "probably false." 43 per cent of all respondents believe that Jews are more loyal to Israel than to their own country, with a majority of respondents in Italy, Germany, Poland and Spain saying they believe that this statement is "probably true."
