But anti-Semitism is on the rise all across Europe, as well as in the United States. In the United States, attacks on synagogues by white-supremacist gunmen have led the growing list of assaults on Jews. The Anti-Defamation League reported that these attacks more than doubled from 2017 to 2018, to 39 , part of a total of 1,879 anti-Semitic incidents. Among the Muslims of Europe, and among some leftists, a resentment of Israel often crosses into hostility to all Jews. A CNN poll last November on the state of anti-Semitism in Europe found that a third of respondents said they knew little or nothing about the Holocaust.
