Weekly Report – August 10

This Week's

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.

This week, the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) hosted an online expert panel discussion on the history of antisemitic ideologies embedded in the Palestinian nationalist movement, manifested most clearly today in school textbooks and media programming. In Latin America, the opening ceremony for a weeklong display of the CAM-sponsored “No Discriminarás” traveling exhibit, featuring cartoons highlighting examples of contemporary antisemitism, was held on Tuesday at the Panamá Viejo Museum in Panama City. 

In the U.S., reports emerged of Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib’s participation in a recent art show promoting Israel’s destruction. In Pensacola, Florida, four suspects were arrested in connection with a recent spate of at least eight antisemitic vandalism incidents. Also this week, Princeton University faced criticism from Jewish groups over the inclusion of a book claiming that the Israeli military harvests Palestinian organs in a syllabus for a humanities course being offered this fall semester.

Since the end of June,  the CAM Antisemitism Research Center has monitored a series of hate crimes targeting the Jewish community of San Diego, California. Over the past month and a half, there have been five reports of antisemitic incidents in the city, including verbal and physical harassment of Jews, as well as the distribution of hateful flyers.

In Berlin, Germany,  an Israeli tourist was assaulted last Saturday by three assailants who heard him speaking on a phone in Hebrew as he walked to a supermarket. In Geneva, Switzerland, antisemitic graffiti, calling for “a stop to Judaism,” was spotted on a building. In the UK, disgraced academic David Miller was widely denounced for claiming that Jews were overrepresented in positions of power and did not suffer discrimination. In Melbourne, Australia, Jewish teens were chased off a public bus by a knife-wielding passenger who called himself a Nazi.  

In the Middle East, a municipal patrol officer was shot dead in central Tel Aviv by a Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist. In Egypt, Israeli model Shay Zanco, who was accompanying U.S. rapper Travis Scott ahead of a planned Cairo concert, was kicked out of her hotel due to her nationality.

This week’s global antisemitism report highlights 52 new reports of antisemitic incidents. The total includes 32 (61.54%) from the far-right, 5 (9.62%) from the far-left, 7 (13.46%) with Islamist motivations, and 8 (15.38%) unidentifiable in nature.

'SQUAD' DEMOCRAT ATTENDS ANTI-ISRAEL ART SHOW PROMOTING DESTRUCTION OF JEWISH STATE

By AARON KLIEGMAN

The Handala Coalition, a group of Palestinian and allied organizations in Michigan, organized the controversial art show, which was held at the Swords Into Plowshares Peace Center and Gallery in Detroit from May 26 to June 17. In one picture posted to Facebook, Tlaib is smiling in front of what the Handala Coalition described as an "apartheid wall" with the words "We Will Return." The art show also featured a piece showing a Palestinian woman who appears to be holding a gun with the phrase "Power To Our Freedom Fighters, Glory To Our Martyrs."

By MARC ROD

Attendees on this year’s trip include numerous House progressives, including Thanedar, who was opposed by more than $4 million in spending from AIPAC’s United Democracy Project super PAC in his 2022 primary.
