THIS WEEK'S GLOBAL ANTISEMITISM REPORT
This week, we continued to monitor antisemitism around the world while advocating for more actions to be made.
In Brooklyn, New York, an elderly man was attacked by a blade-wielding assailant shouting, “You f–king Jew!” In the state of Georgia, neo-Nazi demonstrators carried swastika flags and chanted antisemitic slogans outside synagogues in Macon and East Cobb. Meanwhile, antisemitic flyers were distributed this week both in New York and Georgia, as well as Michigan, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Maryland.
In Poole, England, graffiti depicting antisemitic and far-right imagery was spray-painted on a road underpass. In France, a man was arrested after verbally harassing Jewish former presidential candidate with antisemitic insults at a train station in Limoges. In South Africa, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) provincial lawmaker Aishah Cassiem called for a Jewish day school in Cape Town.to be deregistered for “being pro-Israel.”
In the Middle East, Palestinian terrorists launched two rockets toward Israeli territory from the Jenin area, the first such incident in the West Bank in nearly two decades. In Cyprus, an Iranian terror plot aimed at Israeli and Jewish visitors was foiled by security services. This marked the latest in a long line of attempts by the Tehran regime and its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to strike Israeli and Jewish targets worldwide in recent years.
This week’s global antisemitism report highlights 38 new reports of antisemitic incidents. The total includes 28 (73.70%) from the far-right, 1 (2.6%) from the far-left, 5 (13.16%) with Islamist motivations, and 4 (10.52%) unidentifiable in nature.
