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.
The horrific slaughter of 15 people by Islamist gunmen at Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach on Sunday marked the worst-ever act of antisemitic violence in Australian history and the deadliest terrorist attack targeting Jews around the world since the October 7th massacre in Israel.
The unspeakable atrocity came against the backdrop of a surge of antisemitic hate crimes in Australia over the past two years that authorities failed to address with proper diligence.
“The writing was on the wall,” CAM CEO Sacha Roytman said. “The Australian government allowed far too much antisemitism to pass in the public sphere, including incendiary expressions of anti-Israel rhetoric, and this made the situation extremely volatile.”
May the memories of all the victims, from 87-year-old Holocaust survivor Alex Kleytman to 10-year-old girl Matilda Britvan, forever be a blessing.
Other incidents of antisemitic violence or threats monitored by the Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) by CAM this week included:
- Brooklyn, New York: A Jewish man was stabbed in an antisemitic assault in the Crown Heights neighborhood.
- Redlands, California: Projectiles were fired toward a Jewish family’s Hanukkah-decorated home by a shooter in a passing car who shouted “F*** the Jews.”
- San Francisco, California:Â A man was arrested in connection with an arson attack that damaged San Francisco Hillel.
- Cardiff, Wales: Two suspects were charged for plotting to attack a Jewish synagogue and cemetery, as well as a mosque.
The ARC documented 34 antisemitic violent acts or threats in November. Read the ARC’s monthly data report here.
