Il 18% dei Britannici non ritiene che un Primo Ministro ebreo sia
altrettanto adeguato di un non-Ebreo, ed il 15% dice che la portata della
Shoah è stata esagerata.

UK Poll: One in five Brits opposes Jewish PM
 
By Haaretz Service and Agencies
 
 
 
Nearly one on five Britons would opposed a Jew as prime minister, and one in
seven believes the scale of the Holocaust is exaggerated, according to a
poll published in Britain's Jewish Chronicle newspaper Friday.
 
 
 
 
The poll, which interviewed 1,007 people in England, Scotland and Wales,
found that 18 percent disagreed with the statement: "A British Jew would
make an equally acceptable prime minister as a member of any other faith." A
total of 47 percent were unable to agree with the statement.
Friday's Daily Telegraph suggested the findings could deal a blow
to the electoral chances of Michael Howard, the current leader of the
opposition Conservative Party. Howard, a former home secretary, belongs to a
Reform synagogue. A spokesman for Howard declined to comment on the survey
results.
The poll - timed to coincide with the January 27 Holocaust Memorial Day
commemorated by Britain and several other European countries - was
commissioned by the Chronicle, which serves the United Kingdom's
300,000-strong Jewish community.
The findings of the poll, which was conducted by the ICM research company,
showed that 15 percent of those surveyed agreed the scale of the Holocaust
has been exaggerated. Seventy percent disagreed with the statement, and 62
percent disagreed with it strongly, according to the survey.
The poll also found 37 percent agreeing that Jewish people make a positive
contribution to the political, social and cultural life of Britain, with 20
percent disagreeing. Meanwhile, 18 percent agreed that Jews had too much
influence, while 47 percent disagreed.
Britain's Home Secretary David Blunkett, interviewed by The Guardian,
expressed his disappointment with the poll's findings.
"It means people are prepared to set aside not only the evidence, but the
overwhelming emotion that goes with it," Blunkett said. "They delude
themselves into believing that the Nazis are not what we know them to be and
this is very depressing."

Howard è iscritto all LJS, la sinagoga liberale.
Il cui bet din ha bocciato la richiesta di conversione di S'esseruccio. Che,
guarda caso, in questi frangenti perde l'abituale acribia...
