Anti Semitism seems to be more active than has been reported to me. The figures show that the most anti-Semitism comes from the Middle East, of course.
The following survey was taken by ADL in 2014 with a 2015 Update in 19 countries and I've
added a few more. Over 4,161,578,905 people were surveyed. That's 26% of the world population,
a good 5 years ago. It's been growing since then, not receding.
1,090,000,000. = 1.09 Billion people are anti-Semitic
7.7 Billion people are in the world
In 1939, there were 16.6 million Jews worldwide, and a majority of them – 9.5 million, or 57% – lived in Europe, according to DellaPergola’s estimates.
Where Most Anti-Semitism Exists
The Middle East and North Africa: 74%
Eastern Europe 34%
Western Europe 24%
Sub Saharan Africa 23%
Asia 22%
North and South America 19%
Oceania 14%
Can you point to Israel on this map? It's here.
18% of people surveyed thought Israel had more than 700 million people.

A hate crime bill supported by Oregon Senators didn't pass. It was Frederick's bill 356. " The Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association opposed the bill partly on grounds that it is already "difficult…to discern with accuracy the intent of the actor at the time of an assault."
"The Southern Poverty Law Center, which supports this legislation, reported 701 acts of hateful intimidation and harassment in just the first week after the election. The FBI has also reported a nearly 7 percent increase in the number of hate crimes in 2015 compared to 2014. This was driven by an alarming 67 percent increase in the number of anti-Muslim crimes."

The map above shows that Pennsylvania had 36 incidences right after the election of December 19, 2016.
***26. Denmark 8% population of 5.8 million
My neighbor is an immigrant from Denmark. Her father had helped get Jews into Sweden from Denmark by boat. Denmark was the only European country to save almost all of its Jewish residents from the Holocaust. After being tipped off about imminent roundups by prominent Nazis, resisters evacuated the country's 7,000 Jews to Sweden by boat. A new book examines this historical anomaly. They viewed the Jews as Danes and placed them under their protection, a story documented in "Countrymen," a new book by Danish author Bo Lidegaard. "The history of the rescue of the Danish Jews," writes Lidegaard, "is only a tiny part of the massive history of the Shoah. But it teaches us a lesson, because it is a story about the survival instinct, civil disobedience and the assistance provided by an entire people when, outraged and angry, it rebelled against the deportation of its fellow Danes."
Central Bureau of Statistics publishes statistics in honor of 2017 drawing to a close: Israel has population of 8,793,000; 27,000 have made Aliyah in 2017, mostly from Europe; population grew by 165,000, with 180,000 births and 44,000 deaths. About 1.7 million are Arabs.
With the growth of anti-Semitism, Jews have a haven to take them in. Israel. That's what it was created for in the first place. At the beginning of the Holocaust, they were kept out by the British who were letting Arabs into Palestine when they were to assist Jews in creating the Jewish Homeland.
Update:2/12/19 article from France:

France's interior minister decries 'poison' of bigotry, notes 74% increase in anti-Semitic incidents in France in 2018 over previous year.)
