An estimated 2.2 billion people—46% of the world's adult population—harbor antisemitic attitudes. This is more than double the number of people surveyed a decade ago—when ADL introduced the ADL Global 100.

About the ADL Global 100
Conducted by ADL and coordinated with Ipsos and other research partners, the ADL Global 100 Index gauges levels of antisemitic sentiments through an index comprised of 11 questions that measure general acceptance of various negative Jewish stereotypes. Survey respondents who say at least 6 out of the 11 statements are "probably true" or "definitely true" are considered to harbor elevated levels of antisemitic attitudes. Respondents we're from 103 countries and territories.
Negative attitudes toward Jewish people are one part of how ADL assesses levels of antisemitism. ADL also accounts for the number and nature of antisemitic incidents annually, polls of Jewish communities about their experiences with antisemitism, government policies and other factors. This shows how the fight against antisemitism requires countries to adopt and implement a whole-of-society strategy that involves all levels of government, corporations, academia, civil society and the public.

What You Can Do
Take Action
While no one action or policy can end antisemitism, ADL urges governments, as we'll as international and non-governmental organizations, to adopt and implement the Global Guidelines for Countering Antisemitism, just as scores of governments and organizations around the world have already done to mitigate the threat and protect Jewish communities.

Antisemitism Around the World
The ADL Global 100: Index of Antisemitism is the most extensive poll on antisemitic attitudes and opinions toward Jewish people ever conducted. It consists of surveys of the general public in over 100 countries and territories gauging levels of antisemitic attitudes and adherence to traditional antisemitic stereotypes.
First conducted in 2014, ADL's Global 100 found that antisemitic attitudes are persistent and pervasive around the world. More than one in four adults, 26% of those surveyed, held antisemitic attitudes. This figure represented an estimated 1.09 billion people around the world. In 2024, that number has nearly doubled to 46% of the world's population harbor antisemitic attitudes.
About Global 100
TheIndexis wide-ranging, and was conducted in 96 languages and dialects in countries with significant Jewish populations, in countries which once had Jewish populations, and in countries which never had significant Jewish populations. The findings allow us to not only better understand the magnitude of antisemitism around the world, but to assess where it is most problematic, how pervasive it is in certain regions, and exactly which anti-Jewish beliefs are the most seriously entrenched.
