When compared to western European countries, or Sweden, it is clear that Hungary is a safe country for Jews.
It seems that the majority of Jews living in Hungary do feel safe, do not fear expressing their Jewish identity, practicing their religion, and do not consider migrating to Israel.
Hostility, threats, and physical attacks against Jewish people seem to be most prevalent in France, which has the largest Jewish community in Europe.
However, the second most unsafe place for Jewish people is Sweden, where only a fraction of the population has Jewish heritage.
As opposed to this, the size of the Jewish community in Hungary is almost three times larger, yet the number of recorded incidents is five to eight times lower in Hungary when compared to Sweden.
Perceptions of antisemitic feelings point out that individuals from France, Belgium, Sweden, and Germany are particularly concerned about rising animosity. In France, Sweden, and Germany, the number of antisemitic incidents show an increasing trend, while in Hungary it has been decreasing in the past years.
Most cases of antisemitic incidents are linked to extremist Muslims or left-wing political views. Furthermore, most individuals who chose to emigrate to Israel are from France, while the smallest immigrant community is from Hungary.
Although in the past century the root cause of antisemitism was extreme nationalism, it seems that the newly increasing antisemitic sentiments in Europe are growing among extremist Muslims (30 percent) and the political left (21 percent). Recently, the least amount of incidents has been perpetrated by someone with a right–wing political view (13 percent).
In six countries, the majority of the population believed that antisemitism had increased in their country: in Sweden (73 percent), Germany (61 percent), the Netherlands (55 percent), France (51 percent), Denmark (50 percent vs 34 percent “stayed the same”).
As opposed to this, one fifth of the EU respondents believe that antisemitism had decreased in their country over the past five years. These responses came from Romania (29 percent), Hungary (22 percent), Lithuania (21 percent) and Latvia (20 percent).
Hostility conveyed in the street or other public places are, however, even more worrying.
The majority of respondents from France (80 percent), Sweden (75 percent), Germany (64 percent), Italy, the Netherlands (both 61 percent), and Belgium (59 percent) believe that this is a major issue in their country.
Respondents from France (83 percent), Sweden (73 percent), Germany (64 percent), Italy (60 percent), and Belgium (56 percent) consider physical attacks a problem in their country.
