76% of Jews in Europe hide their identity and are afraid in large cities

Omissions

• The 76% figure refers to hiding identity 'at least occasionally' in general, not specifically about being afraid in large cities. The survey covers EU member states (not all of Europe), and data was collected in 2023. The specific reference to 'large cities' appears to be an interpretation rather than a direct statistic from the survey.
• The survey was published in 2024 but data was collected in 2023, which is within the timeframe the MEP could have known (before session date 2026-04-29).
