The ADL Global 100 Index assesses the level of antisemitism based on 11 common stereotypes about Jews. If a person agrees with at least six of these statements, they are categorized as holding antisemitic views. The study also found that 20% of respondents worldwide have never heard of the Holocaust, and only 48% acknowledge its historical accuracy. Among people aged 18–34, this figure drops to 39%, indicating a worrying trend. Moreover, among young people under 35, antisemitic sentiments are more prevalent (50%), which is 13 percentage points higher than among people over 50.

The Global 100 Index shows the percentage of respondents who believe six or more of the 11 stereotypes to be true. In the Middle East and North Africa, 76% of those surveyed agree with most of these statements. In Asia, this figure is 51%, in Eastern Europe – 49%, and in Sub-Saharan African countries – 45%. In the Americas (24%), Western Europe (17%), and Oceania (20%), the level of antisemitism is lower, but nonetheless, every fifth adult shares such views.

Among the countries with the highest levels of antisemitism are the Gaza Strip and the West Bank (97%), Kuwait (97%), and Indonesia (96%). The lowest levels were recorded in Sweden (5%), Norway (8%), Canada (8%), and the Netherlands (8%). High levels of antisemitism are observed in Muslim countries of the Middle East and North Africa, including Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, and Lebanon, where between 75% to 80% of the population support negative views about Jews. In this region, the ADL index is 76. The highest levels were noted in the West Bank and Gaza (97%), Kuwait (97%), and Indonesia (96%).
