What was said

"I don't remember the exact words. But it was like, do you hate Jews? Not do you hate Jews, but do you hold favorable or disfavorable. It's enough that there is animus, but not, I don't think the word hate was used. And is it Israel or is it Jews? No, Jews. Just Jews in general? Guess what the percentage was? Like, just give me a not like, hmm. I would, 70%. It's 95 and up."

Gad Saad cited a Pew Research survey from approximately 2010 showing that 95-98% of respondents in Middle Eastern countries including Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Syria expressed disfavorable views toward Jews specifically, not Israel. Saad used these figures to argue that mass immigration from these regions to Western countries would inevitably increase anti-Semitism, and that demographic shifts in Quebec had already made him personally unsafe on his university campus.
