The number of young Israelis attacked online for their nationality has risen sharply, a poll conducted by the Geocartographic Institute for the Anti-Defamation League shows. The poll questioned 500 Internet users aged 15 to 18.
More than half (51 percent) of respondents reported that they had been the targets of anti-Israeli attacks online in the past year, compared to 36 percent who said the same in 2013. Nearly two-thirds (61 percent) said that during and after Operation Protective Edge this summer, they experienced more anti-Semitic attacks than usual.

When it came to personal attacks against Israeli Internet users, 37 percent of those who said they had been vilified for being Israeli said they had been cursed at; 32 percent reported that their access to certain pages and sites had been blocked; 9 percent said they had been blocked from various forums, and another 9 percent reported that they had been threatened with physical violence. However, 30 percent said they had responded to their attackers, compared to 20 percent who said the same in 2013.
