  Vast majority of antisemitism, or vast majority of antisemitic crimes? Not to put too fine a point on it, but Jewish people are not exactly unaware of how the vast majority of the Islamic world views us, talks about us, and would very much like to treat us. We're also not likely to think that just because they're the loudest, they're somehow the only ones either. It's a bit like the trouble Americans seem to be having with racism, in that a whole generation of kids was taught that racism looks like the KKK or Jim Crow Laws. Far more prevalent and insidious though, has always been the deeply held belief that people know you only talk about among 'like minded' individuals. That way of thinking is much older than the KKK; it gave rise to the KKK. You can kick down an organization, but you can't do the same to a mode of thinking. You can only outlive it.

    Both? Antisemitism in Sweden is almost exclusively found among the Muslim immigrants. Politically the left is a bit blindsided in the Israelic-Palestinian conflict, but that is another issue, as is the strongly secular society's discomfort with all deeply religious groups, including (very) orthodox Jews.
