Greece: Greeks with soft spot for conspiracy theories are more likely to hold anti-Semitic views

Anti-Semitism in Greece is more common among people who are susceptible to the lure of conspiracy theories, a new survey has shown. 

The study, which was carried out by a group of Greek experts from local as well as international institutions and unveiled during a recent seminar in Berlin, was conducted before Israel's latest Gaza offensive. 

“The more a person feels weak and victimized, the more they participate in the political culture of the underdog, the more they are to believe in conspiracy theories and hold anti-Semitic views,” Giorgos Antoniou, a professor of European history at the International Hellenic University (IHU) in Thessaloniki, told Kathimerini English Edition.
