"LET MY PEOPLE GO" - THE END OF ANTI SEMITISM HAS COME - STUDYING WITH GROK & GEMINI ANTI SEMITISM IN ALL THE YEARS OF HUMAN EXISTENCE PART 3 AS WE REMEMBER THE MARTYRS OF 911 NOW LIVING IN HEAVEN. THEIR MEMORY IS A BLESSING
AFD PROFILE & ANTISEMITISM
That said, the claim that AfD “is not antisemitic” is contested:
German domestic intelligence (BfV) has classified parts of the party (and in some states the entire state branches) as right-wing extremist or suspected extremist. Reports have cited antisemitic, racist, or historical-revisionist statements and associations by certain members, officials, or local groups.
There have been documented cases of individual AfD politicians making remarks that Jewish organizations, mainstream media, and other parties in Germany have described as antisemitic or as relativizing the Holocaust.
Major German Jewish organizations (including the Central Council of Jews in Germany) have repeatedly criticized the party, stating that it provides a platform for or fails to adequately distance itself from antisemitic elements.
Supporters and the party itself argue that these accusations are often politically motivated, that isolated statements do not define the whole party, and that AfD’s core focus is immigration, EU policy, and national identity rather than antisemitism. Some point to occasional pro-Israel positions or criticism of antisemitism from Islamist sources as evidence against the charge.
In short:
The party as an organization formally rejects antisemitism. At the same time, German authorities, Jewish representative bodies, and many observers have raised ongoing concerns about antisemitic tendencies, rhetoric, or tolerance of such views among segments of its membership and leadership. Whether that rises to the level of the party itself being “antisemitic” remains a matter of political and legal dispute in Germany.
There is no official ranking of “the most antisemitic state,” and the answer depends on the metric used.
Highest number of reported incidents
According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Audit of Antisemitic Incidents (the most widely cited U.S. tracker):
New York has consistently recorded the highest absolute number of antisemitic incidents in recent years.
2025: 1,160 incidents (down from higher levels in 2024 but still #1).
Large concentrations in New York City (especially Manhattan and Brooklyn).
California is usually second.
New Jersey is typically third.
These three states have the largest Jewish populations, which strongly correlates with higher raw incident counts.c4f2a3
Adl
Per capita or adjusted rates
When adjusted for state population (or Jewish population size), New Jersey has frequently ranked at or near the top in ADL data in recent years. Smaller states or those with fewer Jews can show high rates relative to their size even if absolute numbers are lower.
FBI hate crime data
FBI statistics on anti-Jewish hate crimes (a narrower category of criminal incidents) also show elevated numbers in New York, California, New Jersey, and a few other states with significant Jewish communities.
Nationally, anti-Jewish incidents make up the large majority of religion-based hate crimes, even though Jews are roughly 2% of the U.S. population.4e051c
Adl
Important caveats
Higher incident numbers often reflect larger Jewish populations + denser urban areas + better reporting, not necessarily that residents of those states hold more antisemitic attitudes.
Attitude surveys (e.g., ADL Global 100 or other polls) do not produce a clear, consistent “most antisemitic state” ranking that matches the incident data.
Antisemitic incidents rose sharply nationwide after October 7, 2023, and remain elevated compared with pre-2023 levels, though some decline occurred in 2025.
Data comes from victim reports, law enforcement, media, and partner organizations; underreporting and differing local reporting practices affect the figures.
In short: By volume of reported incidents, New York leads. By some per-capita measures, New Jersey stands out. No single state can be cleanly labeled “the most antisemitic.”
Political /Conspiracy Theories Belief
There is no precise, single global figure for either belief, because no comprehensive worldwide poll asks the exact questions “Does the Illuminati control the world?” and “Is the Illuminati Jewish-run?” across every country. Available data from major surveys give useful estimates and patterns.
Belief that a secret group (often called the Illuminati or similar) controls the world
Related conspiracy questions appear in multi-country polls:
In the YouGov-Cambridge Globalism Project (24 countries, ~25,000 respondents), the idea that “a single group of people who secretly control events and rule the world together, outside of official governments” was the most widely believed of the 12 conspiracy theories tested.
Support was especially high in parts of Africa (Kenya ~72%, Nigeria ~69%, South Africa ~61% saying it is definitely or probably true). It was lower in Western Europe (e.g., Denmark among the lowest).
U.S. polls have shown roughly 15% of registered voters saying they believe the Illuminati (or a comparable secret organization) exists (2019 data). Older U.S. polls found around 28% believing in a secretive power elite working toward a “New World Order.”
Country-specific polls sometimes produce higher numbers. One Venezuelan survey, for example, found nearly 50% agreeing that a powerful secret organization called the Illuminati controls the planet and is working toward a New World Order.
Taken together, these results indicate that hundreds of millions of people worldwide accept some version of the “secret elite controls world events” idea. Exact global percentages cannot be calculated cleanly because coverage is incomplete and question wording varies.
Belief that this secret group / Illuminati is Jewish-run
This version is a classic antisemitic conspiracy theory (overlapping with tropes about Jewish world control, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, etc.).
ADL Global 100 data and related surveys consistently show that large minorities endorse statements such as “Jews have too much control over global affairs,” “Jews have too much power in international financial markets,” or similar power/control stereotypes. In the latest Global 100, these feed into the overall 46% who agree with a majority of the 11 stereotypes.
Specific European polling has found that roughly 1 in 5 respondents in some countries endorsed the idea of a secret Jewish cabal running the world.
Studies of related theories (e.g., QAnon or “secret organizations that greatly influence political decisions”) show substantial overlap with antisemitic beliefs: people who score high on general conspiracy thinking are more likely to also endorse anti-Jewish control tropes.
There is no clean global percentage for the precise claim “the Illuminati is Jewish-run,” but the antisemitic framing is common enough that it accounts for a meaningful share of the broader “secret elite controls the world” belief, especially in regions with high overall antisemitic attitude scores (MENA, parts of Asia, Eastern Europe, etc.).
Summary
Belief in a secret group controlling world events is relatively widespread (highest average among common conspiracy theories in multi-country polls; tens to hundreds of millions of adherents).
The specifically antisemitic version (that this group is Jewish-controlled) is also held by substantial minorities in many places and overlaps heavily with the stereotypes measured in the ADL Global 100.
These are attitude measures only. They do not indicate how strongly people hold the beliefs or whether they act on them.
Specific Country Trends in the ADL Global 100
The Global 100 tracks the percentage of adults who agree with at least 6 of 11 classic antisemitic stereotypes. Comparing the original 2014 survey with the 2024 fieldwork (released early 2025) and intermediate updates reveals clear patterns of change.
Major Increases
Russia: One of the most dramatic recent shifts. Rose sharply from 26% (around 2023) to 62% in 2024 — a +36 point jump in a short period. This made Russia the highest-scoring country in Europe in the latest data.
Indonesia: Climbed to 96% (among the highest in the world).
Reported as roughly doubling from its 2014 level (around 48%), representing one of the largest absolute and relative increases among populous countries.
China: Rose from ~20% in 2014 to 58%.
India: Rose from ~20% in 2014 to 39%.
Turkey: Increased by about 10 points over the decade and remains among the higher-scoring countries.
Broader pattern: Roughly half of the countries with comparable data showed increases between 2014 and 2024. Gains were especially common in parts of Asia, Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Eastern Europe.
Notable Decreases or Improvements
Greece: Recorded the largest decline of any country over the decade — from 69% in 2014 to 50% in the latest survey (a 19-point drop). This stands out against the global rise and occurred even amid heightened Middle East tensions.
Some Western European countries showed modest declines or stability in the short 2023–2024 window (e.g., Germany from 12% to 9%, France from 15% to 13%, Hungary slight decline).
A minority of countries (about 15% in one analysis of comparable data) showed clear reductions over the full decade.
Relative Stability
Many Western European countries, the United States, Canada, and some Latin American nations displayed relatively stable scores over longer periods, even as absolute incident numbers rose sharply after October 2023 in several of them. Stability on the attitude index does not always match trends in reported hate incidents.
Regional and Short-Term Context (2023–2024)
A smaller set of European countries surveyed in both 2023 and 2024 showed mostly modest changes, with Russia as the clear outlier (large increase). Eastern Europe as a whole rose substantially over the decade (from ~34% regional average in 2014 toward ~49%).
Other Notable Country-Level Points
Highest overall in latest data: West Bank and Gaza (97%), Kuwait (97%), Indonesia (96%).
Lowest overall: Sweden (5%),
Norway/Canada/Netherlands (8% each). The U.S. remains low on the attitude index (~9%).
Latin America examples: Chile (~45%), Guatemala (~44%), and Peru (~43%) ranked among the higher scores in the Americas.
Sub-Saharan Africa examples: Kenya (~57%), South Africa (~50%) among the higher in that region.
Key Takeaways on Trends
The global rise to 46% is driven heavily by large-population countries that saw increases (China, India, Indonesia, and others).
Progress is possible — Greece is the clearest example of a sustained, large decline.
Sharp short-term spikes (Russia) and long-term climbs in parts of Asia highlight that trends are not uniform.
Attitude scores and real-world incident rates do not always move in lockstep; some low-attitude-score countries still experienced major post-October 7, 2023 increases in harassment, vandalism, and assaults.
These patterns come from ADL Global 100 releases and analyses comparing 2014 baselines with later waves, including the comprehensive 2024 survey. Country-level scores can fluctuate with sampling, local events, and media environments, so multi-year trends are more informative than single-year snapshots.
YouGov-Cambridge Globalism Project (2021) — The 12 Conspiracy Theories
In the 2021 wave of the YouGov-Cambridge Globalism Project (more than 25,000 respondents across 24 countries), researchers tested belief in 12 popular conspiracy theories. Respondents were asked whether each statement was “definitely true,” “probably true,” “probably false,” “definitely false,” or “don’t know either way.”
The theories explicitly discussed and ranked in the official YouGov write-up and related materials include:
A single group of people secretly controls world events
“Regardless of who is officially in charge of governments and other organisations, there is a single group of people who secretly control events and rule the world together.”
(This had the highest average belief across the 24 countries.)
Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign worked with Russia
Members of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s election team knowingly worked with the Russian government to help him win the 2016 U.S. election.
Truth about harmful effects of vaccines is deliberately hidden
The truth about the harmful effects of vaccines is being deliberately hidden from the public.
1969 Moon landings were faked
The 1969 moon landings were faked.
AIDS virus was deliberately created and spread
The AIDS virus was created and spread around the world on purpose by a secret group or organisation.
Coronavirus is a myth / does not really exist
The coronavirus is a myth created by powerful people and the virus does not really exist.
(This generally had among the lowest levels of belief.)
2020 U.S. election was stolen from Trump by systemic fraud
In the 2020 U.S. presidential election, the election was stolen from Donald Trump by systemic voter fraud that prevented him from winning.
Other theories that appear in the broader YouGov-Cambridge Globalism conspiracy batteries (2020–2021 waves) and are referenced in related reporting include variations on:
U.S. government knowingly helped make the 9/11 attacks happen
Man-made global warming is a hoax invented to deceive people
Humans have made contact with aliens but this has been deliberately hidden
Official Holocaust account is a lie / number of Jewish victims was exaggerated
The exact full set of 12 can vary slightly by wave/year in the Globalism Project series, but the 2021 article focuses on the list above, with the “secret group controlling the world” theory ranking first in average belief and the COVID-is-a-myth theory ranking among the least believed.
You can find the detailed country-by-country results in the original YouGov data tables linked from their 2021 Globalism Project conspiracy theories article.
Country-Specific Belief Patterns
(YouGov-Cambridge Globalism Project, primarily the 2021 wave covering 24 countries)
Belief in conspiracy theories varies sharply by country. Patterns are clearer when looking at overall averages across the 12 theories and at individual high-profile ones (especially the “secret group controls the world” theory, which ranked highest overall).
Highest Overall Belief
India had the highest average proportion of people answering “definitely or probably true” across the full set of 12 theories. Individual theory support ranged from ~26% (moon landings faked) to ~50% (secret group rules the world).
Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa ranked very high on average. This was driven heavily by extremely strong belief in the secret-group/world-control theory:
Kenya: 72%
Nigeria: 69%
South Africa: 61%
These three African countries also showed elevated belief in several other theories (e.g., vaccine side-effects being hidden).
Lowest Overall Belief
Denmark consistently ranked among the lowest (often the lowest) in average belief across the 12 theories. Danes showed low endorsement of most classic conspiracies (e.g., only ~3–14% on several items), though they were relatively higher on the specific claim that Trump’s 2016 team worked with Russia (~39%).
Japan also showed very low average endorsement of the theories as “true,” though a relatively high share of respondents chose “don’t know either way.”
Other lower-belief countries included Sweden, Great Britain, and several other Western European nations on most items.
Patterns on Key Individual Theories
Secret group secretly controls world events (highest overall average belief)
Very high: Kenya (72%), Nigeria (69%), South Africa (61%), and earlier waves showed high figures in Mexico, Turkey, Greece, Spain, Egypt (often 55%+).
Moderate: United States (~37% in related data), Canada (~36%).
Lower: Britain (~28%), Sweden (~23%), Denmark (~20%), Japan (~19%).
Vaccine harmful effects deliberately hidden
Highest: Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa (50–59% range).
Lowest: Sweden, Great Britain, Denmark (10–15% range).
Trump 2016 campaign worked with Russia
Relatively high in some countries that were otherwise skeptical of other conspiracies (e.g., Denmark stood out at 39%).
Also elevated in Kenya and several other places.
Coronavirus is a myth / does not exist
Generally the least believed across almost all countries.
Highest (still modest) in India (~30%); very low in Japan, Denmark, and Britain (3–4%).
Other notes from related waves
9/11 U.S. government involvement: Highest in Turkey (~55%), also elevated in Mexico (~49%).
Moon landings faked and climate-change-is-a-hoax theories generally ranked lower overall, with more variation by country.
Broader Regional Patterns
Sub-Saharan African countries in the sample (Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa) showed the strongest concentration of belief in powerful secret-control narratives.
India stood out for high average endorsement across many different theories.
Western Europe and Japan tended toward the lowest belief levels on most classic conspiracies.
Latin America and Turkey/Middle East often showed elevated belief on specific items (e.g., secret group, 9/11).
Belief in “left-leaning” conspiracies (e.g., Trump-Russia) sometimes ran higher in countries that rejected most other theories, illustrating that conspiracy endorsement is not uniform.
Summary Insight
Country differences are large and consistent. High-belief countries (especially in parts of Africa and India) drive up global averages on secret-elite theories, while Northern/Western European countries and Japan pull averages down. The “secret group controls the world” idea is the most universally resonant, while more specific or recent claims (COVID-is-a-myth, certain election fraud claims) show greater variation and often lower overall support.
These patterns come from the 2020–2021 YouGov-Cambridge Globalism Project data releases and related analyses. Exact percentages can shift slightly between survey waves.
