Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visiting nuclear reactor in Iran (Reuters) Last update - 03:42 01/05/2008 Survey: 52% of Israeli teens say Israel faces existential threat By Shlomo Shamir, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: ADL, Israel, Holocaust  An Anti-Defamation League survey revealed on Wednesday that 52 percent of Israeli youth believe the country faces an existential threat, while 30 percent of those questioned have defined this menace as "serious." Meanwhile, 59 percent of Israeli youth are convinced a second Holocaust will not occur. The survey, which encompassed 500 teenagers between the ages of 15 and 17, was unveiled in New York for the Holocaust Remembrance Day. Advertisement Only nine percent thought a second Holocaust is possible, as opposed to six percent last year. The survey also revealed that 91 percent of Israeli youth are aware of the existence of anti-Semitism worldwide, and 69 percent believe Israel should respond to any manifestation of anti-Semitism in the world. 80 percent said they never encountered anti-Semitism. What's more, only 48 percent of Israeli teenagers interpret criticism of Israel as anti-Semitism, as opposed to a clear majority of adults. A majority of Israeli teenagers perceive anti-Semitism as a historical phenomenon. However, the proportion of youth who link anti-Semitism to current events has grown.
