THIS WEEK'S GLOBAL ANTISEMITISM REPORT

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

A horrific tragedy was narrowly averted on Thursday when quick-acting security guards shot dead an armed attacker after he rammed his vehicle into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan.

“In America, only Jews need courage to go to their place of worship,” said CAM CEO Sacha Roytman. “The fight against antisemitism demands solidarity, action, and accountability from every leader, every institution, and every citizen. Antisemitism is a moral rot in our society that must be excised wherever and whenever it manifests.”A total of eight incidents at synagogues across the globe were monitored by the Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) by CAM this week, including the bombing of a historic synagogue in Liege, Belgium, gunfire at two Toronto area synagogues, and the arrests of suspicious individuals near synagogues in Oslo and Troidheim in Norway.Other antisemitic incidents tracked by the ARC this week included:

United States: Two Jewish men were attacked at a restaurant in San Jose, California, after they were heard speaking Hebrew. The assailants reportedly shouted, “Don’t mess with Iran” and “F*ck the Jews.”
United States: Reports emerged that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, “liked” multiple Instagram posts praising the October 7th massacre. Mamandi also hosted notorious anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil for an iftar dinner at Gracie Mansion on Monday.
United Kingdom: During a soccer match in Norwich, spectators chanted “Dirty Jews,” “Dirty Zionists,” and “Go back to the gas chambers” at students from London’s Jewish Free School (JFS).
Germany: Authorities disrupted a Hamas-linked effort to plot attacks against Jewish and Israeli targets in Germany and across Europe.

Of the 136 total incidents recorded by the ARC this week, 27 — 19.7% — were motivated by the ongoing Iran war, involving perpetrators driven to act by support of the regime or conspiratorial hatred of Jews and Israel.

United States: San Jose, Israeli attacked at restaurant

By SAM HALPERN

Two Jewish men were beaten, and later briefly hospitalized, after they were heard speaking Hebrew in front of a restaurant in San Jose’s Santana Row in California, local media reported on Tuesday. Footage of the incident, shot by local witnesses, shows the pair of victims attacked by three other individuals outside the Augustine restaurant, NBC Bay Area reported. “I just turned around, and they literally started punching,” one of the victims, who wished not to be identified, told the outlet. “We got swarmed very badly. I’m in a lot of pain. I still cannot chew. My jaw hurts, my back is hurting.”
