There is a high correlation between anti-Semitism and a lack of tolerance on other social issues.

The current study reaffirms one of the more significant findings from the three previous surveys: that there is a strong correlation between anti-Semitism and racism, xenophobia and intolerance of diversity.

In other words, those Americans who are most likely to have negative attitudes toward Jews are also noticeably more likely than the rest of the population to hold intolerant beliefs about other groups, such as immigrants, gays or people of other races.

As the chart on the following page shows, the most anti-Semitic Americans tend to be less tolerant than the public at large on issues related to:

• Immigration
• Equal rights
• Race relations
• Sexual orientation and gender
