OPINANTI (Weighted by WT1) I'm going to read you a statement and please tell me whether you tend to agree or disagree with it, or if perhaps you have no opinion about the statement. There's no excuse for anti-Semitism, but much of the anti-Jewish feeling in this country today has been brought on by Jews themselves. Do you agree or disagree?   1) Agree   2) Disagree   8) DK/No opinion
