===Post World War II anti-Semitism=== [[Antisemitism in Europe|Anti-Semitism remains a substantial problem in Europe]] and to a greater or lesser degree, [[Geography of antisemitism|it also exists in many other nations]], including [[Eastern Europe]] and the [[Post-Soviet states|former Soviet Union]], and tensions between some [[Islam in Europe|Muslim immigrants]] and Jews have increased across Europe.<ref>{{cite news|last=Stone |first=Andrea |url=https://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2004-11-22-jews-france_x.htm |title=As attacks rise in France, Jews flock to Israel |publisher=Usatoday.com |date=2004-11-22 |access-date=2013-07-10}}</ref><ref>[http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/841445.html Jews for Le Pen] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090417090654/http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/841445.html |date=2009-04-17 }} by Daniel Ben-Simon.

For example, the influential [[Evangelicalism|Evangelical]] preacher [[Billy Graham]] and the then-president [[Richard Nixon]] were caught on tape in the early 1970s while they were discussing matters like how to address the [[Antisemitic canard#Accusations of controlling the media|Jews' control]] of the [[Media of the United States|American media]].<ref name="bbcregret">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/1850077.stm "Graham regrets Jewish slur"], [[BBC]], March 2, 2002.</ref><ref name="newsweek1">{{cite magazine |title=Pilgrim's Progress|page=5 |url=http://www.newsweek.com/id/46365/page/5 |magazine=Newsweek |date=August 14, 2006 |access-date=September 20, 2008}}</ref> This belief in Jewish conspiracies and domination of the media was similar to those of Graham's former mentors: [[William Bell Riley]] chose Graham to succeed him as the second president of Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School and evangelist [[Mordecai Ham]] led the meetings where Graham first believed in Christ. Both held strongly anti-Semitic views.<ref>Himes, A (2011) ''The Sword of the Lord: The roots of fundamentalism in an American Family'', {{oclc|752306393}}</ref> The 2001 survey by the [[Anti-Defamation League]] (ADL), a Jewish group which devotes its efforts to the [[Anti-antisemitism|fight against anti-Semitism]] and other forms of [[racism]], reported 1432 acts of anti-Semitism in the United States that year. The figure included 877 acts of harassment, including verbal intimidation, threats, and physical assaults.<ref>[http://www.adl.org/PresRele/ASUS_12/4057_12.asp ADL Audit: Anti-Semitic Incidents in U.S. Declined in 2001 Americans Reject Conspiracy Theories Blaming Jews for 9/11] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030210065655/http://www.adl.org/PresRele/ASUS_12/4057_12.asp |date=2003-02-10 }} (2002 report)</ref> Many [[Christian Zionism|Christian Zionists]] are also accused of espousing anti-Semitism, such as [[John Hagee]], who argued that the Jews brought the Holocaust upon themselves by angering God.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tabletmag.com/scroll/40563/my-hagee-problem%E2%80%94and-ours|title=My Hagee Problem—And Ours - Tablet Magazine – Jewish News and Politics, Jewish Arts and Culture, Jewish Life and Religion|date=2010-07-26}}</ref> Relations between Jews and Christians have dramatically improved since the 20th century.
