Fearful of anti-Semitism, 22% of European Jews hide identity | The Times of Israel

I'd say its higher than 22%. I work and live part year in Arab countries and everyone knows I'm Jewish and I've never had an issue. Yet I've had a few instances in Europe where I've been with hit anti-Jewish situations including a Jew Bashing (physical attack) incident. That being said, Muslims in Europe have the same issue.

Unfortunately in many parts of Eastern Europe there's still a lot of anti-Semitism. Doesn't surprise me as to why some would conceal their identity

Really? I thought that Jews would have it worse for physical attacks although I guess nowadays everyone is afraid of Muslims so that may translate into more racism. And, they usually stand out more if they are wearing religious attire outside of Muslim neighborhoods.

Yes. Really.
