GLOBAL ANTISEMITISM REPORT

THIS WEEK'S GLOBAL ANTISEMITISM REPORT

This week, we continued to monitor antisemitism around the world while advocating for more actions to be made.

Following the FBI’s arrest of a heavily armed man who had threatened to kill all Jewish elected officials in Michigan on social media last week, two additional businesses in Lansing received threatening antisemitic letters and multiple antisemitic pieces of propaganda were spread throughout townships and municipalities in the state. Over the weekend, white-supremacist Nick Fuentes delivered a speech in Maryland in which he claimed: “Talmudic Judaism has entrenched itself in the highest echelons of power all over the world…replacing what was once beautiful with something disgusting.”

In Toronto, Canada, a new advertisement displayed in the city succinctly states that “anti-apartheid is not antisemitism,” above, below and within a blue star of David and in the Netherlands, a Dutch Protestant church sparked outrage after it released a report in which it drew a comparison between Israeli policy toward the Palestinians in the West Bank and the Nazi regime’s treatment of Jews. In Germany, various posters with antisemitic content were shown at a conspiracy ideological rally in Rheine.

A spike in antisemitic incidents was detected in the United Kingdom this past week, where a woman reportedly screamed “you ugly Jewish kids, f****** ugly people” at a 74-year-old Jewish woman and young Jewish girls at a bus stop. A ten-year-old Jewish boy was punched in the stomach on his way home from school and Jewish families in East London have reported being terrorized by unknown people ‘banging on doors violently in the early hours of the morning.’

In the Middle East, a Jordanian journalist claimed that “Palestinians live through a much worse holocaust every day,” adding for good measure that the “six million” figure is certainly “an exaggeration.”

This week’s global antisemitism report highlights 41 new media reports of antisemitic incidents. The total includes 21 (51.2%) from the far-right, 6 (14.6%) from the far-left, 9 (22.0%) with Islamist motivations, and 5 (12.2%) unidentifiable in nature.

MICHIGAN: 2 MORE LANSING BUSINESSES RECEIVE THREATENING LETTERS AS FBI, POSTAL SERVICE INVESTIGATE

By KRYSTAL NURSE

517 Coffee Company owner James Defrees told the State Journal Friday he received a 10-page letter with “police” as the recipient on the envelope but with the shop’s address. He said the letter seemed more “prophetic in nature rather than direct threats.” The letter had swastikas, planes dropping bombs and other “ramblings” relating to WW III and former President Donald Trump. As far as content goes the letter claims to be from someone who is Russian. Lots of Bible references, number sequences, drawings like: swastikas, planes dropping bombs, etc., and references to WWIII and Jewish people/Jewish religion.”

FUENTES DELIVERS ANTISEMITIC, “CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST” RANT TO FELLOW WHITE SUPREMACISTS

By CENTER ON EXTREMISM

As quickly as hotel security removed white supremacist Nick Fuentes from CPAC 2023, the Groyper found another receptive audience for his antisemitism and racism. The “Fuentes Rally” took place on March 4, 2023, at Marriott’s Residence Inn at the National Harbor in Maryland. Reporters were not allowed inside the event. While insisting that he doesn’t want to hurt anyone, Fuentes said “Talmudic Jews” need to either leave the county or be converted. Following the event, influential Groyper Clodfelter took to Telegram to praise for Fuentes’ speech: “Talmudic Judaism has entrenched itself in the highest echelons of power all over the world…Replacing what was once beautiful with something disgusting.”

UNITED KINGDOM: PRINCE HARRY’S GUEST COMPARED HAMAS TERRORISTS TO WARSAW GHETTO FIGHTERS

By BEN BLOCH AND JONATHAN SACERDOTI

Prince Harry is planning to hold an “intimate” public conversation with a hard-left trauma expert who has compared Hamas terrorists to the heroes of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Gabor Maté, who will take part in the livestreamed discussion with the prince on Saturday, wrote in a 2014 article for the Toronto Star: “The Palestinians use tunnels? So did my heroes, the poorly armed fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto.” In the same article, he defended Palestinian rocket fire at Israeli civilians. “Out of impotent defiance, they fire inept rockets, causing terror for innocent Israelis but rarely physical harm,” he wrote.

GERMANY: VARIOUS POSTERS WITH ANTISEMITIC CONTENT WERE SHOWN AT A CONSPIRACY IDEOLOGICAL RALLY IN RHEINE

By RIAS NRW

Various posters with antisemitic content were shown at a conspiracy ideological rally in Rheine. On several posters, the inscription reads “Soon in your country too. The great reset. You shall own nothing” as well as the persons Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Henry Kissinger and George Soros shown. The conspiracy narrative circulated here suggests an elite acting in secret, perceived as Jewish, who is supposed to aim for a new global social order. In order to implement this reorder, politicians and media will be “disappeared” as puppets, as read on another poster.

‘INCREDIBLY DISTURBING ANTISEMITIC ADVERTISEMENT’ DEBUTS IN TORONTO

By WORLD ISRAEL NEWS

A new advertisement displayed in the city succinctly states that “anti-apartheid is not antisemitism,” above, below and within a blue Star of David. Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center called it “an incredibly disturbing antisemitic advertisement.” It added that it filed a complaint with the advertising company and asked that it be removed immediately. The capital city in Ontario, Canada, launched a “Toronto for All” campaign last September after Toronto police data showed Jews were the city’s most-targeted group for hate crimes in 2021. Now, Jewish leaders are expressing outrage at a very different public effort.

DUTCH PROTESTANT CHURCH COMPARES ISRAEL’S TREATMENT OF PALESTINIANS TO NAZIS

By ITAMAR EICHNER

A Dutch Protestant church sparked outrage after it released a report in which it drew a comparison between Israeli policy toward the Palestinians in the West Bank and the Nazi regime’s treatment of Jews. The report was compiled by members of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands (PKN) following their visit to the West Bank last November. “When we visited Yad Vashem Museum, we saw evidence for the unmatched horrors of the Holocaust and the sign that said ‘No Jews allowed’ reminded us of what we’ve seen and heard in the past few days from Palestinian Christians. The saying ‘Never again’ echoed in our minds,” the authors said in the report.

SHAMEFUL ANTISEMITIC CHANTS BY LAZIO FANS INSIDE THE MARADONA STADIUM IN NAPLES

By ANTISEMITISM MONITORING INTERNATIONAL CENTER

Shameful antisemitic chants by Lazio fans inside the Maradona stadium in Naples where the Biancocelesti (S.S. Lazio) beat the Neapolitans on Friday evening. After calling themselves “Laziali and fascists, brown shirts”, the ultras went on the attack against Roma’s rivals with serious antisemitic chants: “You, on the other hand, pity me with this ca**o de kippah, you have a deported father and your mother is Anne Frank, Romanist (AS Roma) you are a rabbi, matzah and lamb and celebrate Hanukkah, lala lala.”

GEORGIA HOUSE VOTES TO DEFINE ANTISEMITISM IN STATE LAW

By ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Georgia House voted Monday to define antisemitism in state law, a move supporters say would help prosecutors and other officials identify hate crimes and illegal discrimination targeting Jewish people. The measure would adopt into state law a definition by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, which defines antisemitism as a “perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews” and can have both “rhetorical and physical manifestations.” This includes “targeting of the state of Israel,” although the alliance says on its website that “criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic.”

NEW HAMPSHIRE ANTI-BDS BILL WILL PROTECT LOCAL BUSINESSES AND STAND AGAINST DISCRIMINATION

By PORTSMOUTH HERALD

This winter a number of legislators submitted New Hampshire House Bill 339, an act prohibiting the use of state funds to contract with or invest in any company participating in a discriminatory boycott of Israel. Israel is a key trade partner for our state and contributes materially to our quality of life. It is also sadly the target of a hate movement that seeks to isolate it economically, alienate it socially and coerce neutral businesses into joining the hate-driven boycott against their will. The BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) hate movement targets Israelis, Jews and their trade partners. The purpose of this bill is to conform to the overall non-discrimination policy of the State of NH, and protect our economy from the impact of discriminatory and risky investments.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER SAYS ANTISEMITISM IS ‘THE PATH OF THE WEAK’

By JEWISH NEWS

The former body-builder and actor said those who succumbed to hateful ideology were “losers” but that “no matter how far you have gone” there was still opportunity to change. In a 12-minute video posted online Schwarzenegger, known for films including the Terminator franchise, recalled his father’s experience of World War II and a recent visit to the Nazi concentration camp, Auschwitz. The former California governor noted there had “never been a successful movement based on hate”, branding the Nazi, Confederate and Apartheid movements as “losers.”
