Ethnicity one of the largest factors in antisemitic attitudes in the UK - study

Daniel Allington, one of the researchers told PsyPost.org "All our data were collected in the UK, so it’s possible that things may work differently in other countries."

UK-based researchers show that anti-hierarchical aggression, totalitarianism, and belief in malevolent global conspiracies are the biggest indicators of antisemitic attitudes, in a study published last May.

The study was published in the peer-reviewed Nature Journal and was attempting to understand how antisemitism, traditionally a right-wing problem, has become prominent in the left.

The research split antisemitism into Judeophobic Antisemitism, representing the "old" antisemitism which originates in pre-Israel times whereas Antizionist Antisemitism focuses on extreme and irrational anti-Israel positions that are a form of disguised antisemitism.

The research conducted between October and December 2020 showed strong correlations between belief in various conspiracy theories, including malevolent global conspiracies, personal well-being conspiracies, government malfeasance conspiracies, and Judeophobic Antisemitism.

The researchers gave these as examples of conspiracies "A small secret group of people is responsible for making all major world decisions such as going to war," "The spread of certain viruses and/or diseases is the result of the deliberate, concealed efforts of some organisations," and "The government permits or perpetrates acts of terrorism on its own soil, disguising its involvement."

Belief in malevolent global conspiracies was the strongest predictor, according to the researchers.



Support for totalitarian political systems was also a strong indicator of Judeophobic Antisemitism, with most agreeing with this statement “To bring about great changes for the benefit of mankind often requires cruelty and even ruthlessness."

All three factors of Right-Wing Authoritarianism, a measure of someone's willingness to submit to authority and carry out the orders of this authority, were positively correlated with Judeophobic Antisemitism whereas they were negatively correlated with Antizionist Antisemitism.

The reverse was true for Left-wing Authoritarianism, where its factors were positively correlated to Antizionist Antisemitism and negatively correlated to Judeophobic Antisemitism.

David Hirsh, one of the researchers told PsyPost.org "On the one hand, antisemites who believe the democratic state to be a trick played on ‘the people’ by ‘the Jews’ might feel justified in tearing it down and taking repressive action against those responsible. On the other hand, political movements that embrace conspiracy fantasies may feel justified in repressing political opponents, are not afraid to overthrow the democratic state, and are also likely to be open to antisemitism."

Ethnicity a big factor

Ethnicity is one of the biggest demographic factors in deciding antisemitism, with researchers finding that non-white ethnic groups exhibited more antisemitism than white ethnic groups, both Judeophobic and Antizionist Antisemitism. Researchers explain this by showing how ethnicity correlates heavily with beliefs in Malevolent Global conspiracies. It should be noted the research was conducted exclusively in the UK and thus can only indicate antisemitic attitudes in the UK and not abroad.

Daniel Allington, one of the researchers told PsyPost.org "All our data were collected in the UK, so it’s possible that things may work differently in other countries."

Adding, "We also don’t really know why these attitudes are associated with antisemitism. My hunch is that they all have something to do with a rejection of the modern world: there’s the idea that the evil people are secretly running the show, there’s the feeling that we’d be better off without democracy, and then there’s the desire for revenge against whoever seems to be doing well in the world as it is."

Israel revises death toll from Oct. 7 Hamas assault, dropping it from 1,400 to 1,200

Foreign Ministry official gives new number as Israel continues painstaking efforts to identify the victims of terrorists' brutal rampage

Israel said Friday it had revised the death toll of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israeli communities and military bases in southern Israel down from around 1,400 to roughly 1,200 people.

The revised figure was provided by Foreign Ministry spokesman Lior Haiat, as Israel continues its painstaking efforts to identify all victims, five weeks after the atrocities took place.

Haiat did not offer details on the reason for the revised figures. But beyond the victims, Israel has said some 1,500 terrorists are believed to have been killed by security forces as the attack and the Israeli response unfolded, leaving authorities with thousands of corpses to process.

Authorities have continued for the past month their work to identify the victims of Hamas’s massacre in southern Israel, after thousands of terrorists broke through the border fence and slaughtered families in their homes and on the streets, as well as party-goers at a rave. Some victims were tortured, raped, burned and mutilated, with many of the acts filmed by the perpetrators. The attackers also killed hundreds of soldiers situated near the border.

The death toll is likely to continue to fluctuate for some time to come. Some of the over 240 people abducted to the Strip are thought to not be alive, though there are no official estimates. Additionally, as time has passed, there has been a steady trickle of reports on individuals who had been thought kidnapped but who have since been confirmed, through forensic and other evidence, to have died.

This week the Israel Antiquities Authority said archaeologists who joined efforts to identify victims had uncovered the remains of at least 10 people in houses burned during the grisly onslaught.

Most of the identification work has taken place at the Military Rabbinate’s main base in Ramle, where the bodies of the victims have been slowly and agonizingly processed and identified through various technological means.

The most recent death toll from the military had 318 service members killed during the attack itself (37 more have been killed since the IDF launched its ground offensive in Gaza), with police citing another 59 dead. Such figures include armed fighters who tackled the terrorists head-on, but also unarmed service members in non-combat roles who were killed inside their bases, sometimes in their beds.

Police said they have identified 845 civilian deaths.

In response to the attack, Israel declared war against Gaza Strip terror organizations and embarked upon an unprecedented air and ground campaign in the Strip that it says is meant to eliminate Hamas. The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says over 11,000 people have been killed in Gaza, without differentiating between civilians and combatants. Those figures cannot be independently verified and are believed to include those erroneously killed by terror operatives amid the fighting.

Israel says it makes every effort to avoid harming civilians, but that this is unavoidable as it fights a terror organization that is entrenched within the civilian population and which conducts its operations and attacks from within hospitals, residential areas and other civilian cover.

Attacks in Gaza/ Erdogan threatens Israel: It is testing our patience

Tayyip Erdogan attacked Israel again on Friday morning during his speech in Ankara.



"They are testing our patience with threats to use nuclear weapons, with the illusion of a promised land that includes our lands. Israel will be held responsible for the 10,000 people who have been killed. Of course, there will be responsibility for oppression.

Those who are accomplices in the same crime will be judged first by all humanity and then by history," said the Turkish president, among other things.

Referring to the situation in Gaza, Erdogan emphasized: "A disaster, a crime against humanity is happening before the eyes of the whole world. Those who forcibly occupied the land where the Palestinian people have lived for thousands of years are trying to build a state that has existed for only 75 years and whose legitimacy has been called into question by their own fascism."

Ottawa hospital says poured gasoline, antisemitic messages found in clinical area

Police investigating discovery in a General hospital clinical area

The Ottawa Hospital says Ottawa police are investigating after someone found poured gasoline and what the hospital described as antisemitic messages at its General campus.

But police said later Friday that they aren't investigating a hate-motivated crime.

"Messaging left at the scene was not hate-related and spoke to the ongoing conflict in Gaza," a police spokesperson wrote in an email.

"Police will not provide further comments so as not to jeopardize the integrity of the ongoing investigation."

'Eliminating Hamas is not going to happen,' Palestinian PM tells FRANCE 24 • FRANCE 24 English

Speaking to FRANCE 24 one month after the start of the Israel-Hamas war, Mohammad Shtayyeh, prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, called for "an immediate ceasefire" in Gaza, but said that "the Israelis don't want any ceasefire because today the Israelis are in the mood of revenge". Shtayyeh argued that Israel's goal of eliminating Hamas "is totally not going to happen", and called for a "comprehensive solution" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as well as an "international intervention to put serious pressure on Israel". Finally, he said he would like to see "general elections" held for the Palestinians.

US and Israel diverge over post-war Gaza occupation.

Israel’s war in Gaza is raising questions over how the coastal enclave should be managed once the fighting is over, exposing a growing divide between U.S. and Israeli officials on the issue.

Several U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, have said Israel should not occupy Gaza and the strip must be run by Palestinians.

That has contrasted with Israel’s messaging.

Top 3 Hamas leaders worth $11 bn, living luxurious life in Qatar: Report

The wealth in the top Hamas leadership is reported to come from various sources including Qatar, which has been allegedly supporting them with financial aid.

While Palestinians in the Gaza Strip scramble for essential needs such as medicine, food and shelter amid the carnage following the October 7 surpise attack on Israel, the top leadership of Hamas is reportedly living a life in opulence in a sanctuary far from Gaza, a coastal Palestinian enclave for which they claim to have been fighting the war. Majority of over 2 million population of Gaza live in dire poverty.

Three top leaders of Hamas alone have a staggering fortune of $11 billion, according to a report by New York Post. Ismail Haniyeh, Moussa Abu Marzuk and Khaleed Mashal have been maintaining their luxury lifestyle in Qatar, a relatively small yet powerful emirate in the Middle East, which provided a safe haven for them. Notably, the country also has a significant presence in the American military.

The wealth in the top Hamas leadership is reported to come from various sources including Qatar, which has been allegedly supporting them with annual financial aid, which is purported to benefit the top brass to maintain control in Gaza.

The report said all three leaders were seen frequenting diplomatic clubs and travelling private jets. The Israel embassy in the US also shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) giving a breakup of how much each of the top three leaders is worth.

Haniyeh and Mashal are worth $4 billion, and Marzuk is worth $3 billion. It further said that Hamas' annual turnover is $1 billion.

Meanwhile, in a series of interviews, the Hamas' top leadership expressed little desire to govern Gaza, instead, they wanted the war with Israel to remain permanent.

"I hope that the state of war with Israel will become permanent on all the borders and that the Arab world will stand with us," Hamas' media advisor Taher El-Nounou told NYT.
