At least 30 Jewish families in Oakland, California, have pulled their children out of the public school system due to rising antisemitism. In New York, a Brooklyn public school displayed a map that deliberately excluded Israel and instead referred to the area solely as “Palestine.” The map was provided to the school by the U.S. subsidiary of the Qatar Foundation.

In Washington, DC, protestors chanted “No votes for Genocide Joe” and clashed with Secret Service agents outside the White House last weekend. In New York, pro-Hamas demonstrators targeted a cancer treatment center, yelling “Make sure they hear you, they’re in the window,” referring to patients watching from inside.

In the United Kingdom, a man threatened a Jew in London’s Hyde Park, giving a Nazi salute and saying “Heil Hitler.” At a pro-Hamas rally in London, Palestinian activist Mohammed El-Kurd implored the crowd “We must normalize massacres as the status quo,” receiving applause. 

In South Africa, the Jewish captain of the U-19 cricket team was removed from that role amid backlash to a pro-Israel statement he made. Also, the International Ice Hockey Federation barred Israel from future competitions citing “security concerns,” prompting a rebuke from the National Hockey League.

This week, Israel defended itself from South Africa’s genocide claim against it at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. South Africa’s accusation garnered support from the virulently anti-Israel ex-UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and U.S. Congresswomen Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib, as well as the nations of  Bangladesh, Namibia, and Slovenia. Standing with Israel, the United States and Germany publicly pushed back against South Africa’s complaint.

Finally, as some of the most prominent leaders in the world met this week in Davos, Switzerland, software giant Palantir organized an event providing a platform for freed Israeli hostages and family members of those still held in Hamas captivity to share their stories and call for the release of all who remain in Gaza.
