| Summary: | "Why do people discriminate against Jews?" is a question typically asked in a somewhat existential register. So it is refreshing to see a contribution take a decisively social scientific and empirical approach. Fox and Topor seek to measure three potential factors that may correlate with increased societal and governmental discrimination against Jews: religiosity, anti-Israel/anti-Zionist behavior, and belief in conspiracy theories about Jews. Their unit of analysis is the state, leveraging a dataset which measures both societal and governmental discrimination against religious minorities (including Jews) across seventy-six countries with at least some Jewish presence. This dataset is meant to deal with tangible actions targeting Jews and other minority groups (e.g., discriminatory laws or acts of vandalism or violence), rather than prejudicial attitudes or beliefs; the authors characterize this as demarcating a difference between antisemitism (an attitude or ideology about Jews) and discrimination against Jews (measurable actions taken in the world against Jews). |
