They also view the far-right as a more serious threat than the far left and Islamic extremists combined.
A new study published by the American Jewish Committee indicates 17% of Jews surveyed believe the GOP bears total responsibility for anti-Semitism, while only 6% think the Democrats are to blame.

The AJC’s survey comes days before the anniversary of the Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, where 11 people were murdered by a right-wing gunman Oct. 27, 2018.
That research also shows 49% of respondents believe the extreme political right represents a “very serious threat" to them, while 29% rated the threat level as “moderately serious.”
