ADL survey of six
European countries finds that half of those surveyed believe Jews not
loyal to their country; more than one-third say Jews have too much
power in business and finance.

[...] Hungary exhibited the highest anti-Semitic attitudes of the countries surveyed and the Netherlands the lowest. "The increase and high percentage of respondents in Hungary who hold negative views of Jews are disturbing," Foxman said.

[...]Overall,
44 percent of those surveyed believe that Jews "still talk too much
about what happened to them in the Holocaust", and 20 percent continue
to blame Jews for the death of Jesus.

Your headline is a little missleading. The poll was not of Jews' loyalty toward their country but rather a poll of the perception of the general population's attitude of Jewish loyalty toward their home country.

I just highlighted. The headline is the same as the original.

fair enough. then my comment applies to the author of the headline. You can change it if you so choose. and looking at your source, ynet, it is a translation from the hebrew - they do not have native english speakers writing the articles at ynet....

I agree about the headline but it is important to note that if the poll was not a random sample, it has no validity whatsover. That is, if the 500 people surveyed in each country were, say, people on a Saturday at shopping centres, than the results are simply a slice of life of those particular people at that particular time and can not be applied generally.
