Based on Wikipedia there are about 15.7 million in the world out of 8 billion population. Or .2% of the population. That is way less than 1 percent.

The USA has about 51%. Which would be about 8 million in the USA. Out of over 330 million. That is less than 2.5% of the USA population. They are extremely outnumbered yet people are afraid of them? And attack them.

Additional data. It appears the number of Jews in the USA is closer to 6.5 million.
