Jewish population is currently estimated to be

15,871,000 according to Wikipedia.

According to WikiPedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jew , about 13 million, with most of them living in the USA and Israel (around 6 million each)

The Jewish community in Turkey numbers approximately 20,000 out of a total population of 70 million. Some 18,000 live in Istanbul, 1,500 in Izmir and the rest are scattered throughout the country.

One has to factor in not the % of the populatlon in varioys countries of the world but their relative economic,political and social position. Minorities always are in a more difficult position when they have a greater power and influence relative to their number and how well they are integrated. This did not help the Jews of Germany,Hungary,France and Italy and other countries and the virulent anti-Semitism of Russia,Poland and Ukraine sought out the isolated Jewish communities that did not integrate and may even have been poorer than some of their neighbors and suffered as well.

The fear of the Southern white trash in the US for the potential power of blacks made then enact Jim Crow laws which kept them as an underclass and subhuman.

Anti-Semitism has to be analyzed regarding the Jew as a rejected species, a rejecter of Christ and Christianity and the success that Jews have in various respectable fields besides the financial to determine whether anti-Semitism increases in proportion to the visibility of Jews as powerful and their perception as a closed groupthat sees themselves as superior to their fellow countrymen of other faiths or ethnicities.

Jews also have been rejected by the upper classes in clubs and neghborhoods to preserve the superior image of the royal image of the noveau riche.

Now Muslims are being subjected to a similar but different type of racism that in Europe is based primarily on Muslims adhering to their own culture and traditions and being seen as fouling the single nationalistic image.

Anti-Semitism among Arabs and Muslims has increased and taken on some of the sterotypical exaggerations and conspiracy theories of the Western Christian world. The Arab loss to the Jews was humiliating not simply for its speed and thoroughness and continued occupation but also for being defeated by a people who have animage as despised by everyhone in the world. The US having aided in this is now subject to increasing anti-Americanism.

When Jews are seen as arrogant and continue to oppress the palestinians, anti-Semitism will continue. Dropping cluster bombs is a part of the survival at any price.
