Notwithstanding a petrol bomb attack Monday on a Jewish community center in Los Angeles which the police are investigating as a hate crime, incidents of Jew-hatred (antisemitism) are reportedly down in the US.

Israel's Army Radio reports the Anti Defamation League (ADL) found 13 percent fewer cases of antisemitism took place last year over 2006 - with "just" 1,350 recorded.

The ADL also released the worrying finding that one in three American citizens believe Jews in the United States are more loyal to Israel than to America.

Historically, charges of "dual-loyalty" have been used to stoke antisemitism.
