Why Do People Discriminate Against Jews?

This article discusses a quantitative study on discrimination against Jews in 76 countries, focusing on both government-based discrimination and societal religious discrimination. The authors provide data on the countries that exhibit different levels of discrimination against Jews. The study also explores the role of religious antisemitism, anti-Zionism, and conspiracy theories in contributing to discriminatory practices. The book utilizes cross-national data from various sources, such as the World Bank and the World Values Survey, to analyze the relationship between religion, socio-economic development, and discrimination. The article recommends this book as important reading for researchers and students interested in antisemitism, international relations, and political science. [Extracted from the article]
