This figure is up from 70% last year.

These numbers are simply frightening. While it is hard to fathom that these are true figures, the EJA asserts that these are the true If fear and hiding have once again become significant characteristics of Jewish life and Jewish living in Western and Eastern Europe, it means that the Jews of Europe have no future in their host countries - not in the long term and certainly not even in the short term.
