THIS WEEK'S GLOBAL ANTISEMITISM REPORT

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

Slurs, Assaults, Threats: Violent Antisemitism Flares Worldwide

The Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) by CAM recorded several shocking incidents of violent Jew-hatred this week across the globe.

France: A teenager verbally and physically assaulted Chief Rabbi of Orléans Arié Engelberg as he walked with his young son on Shabbat. Rabbi Engelberg was hospitalized with serious wounds, and his assailant was detained and taken to a psychiatric facility.
United States: Authorities arrested a 21-year-old California man who allegedly planned to construct a machine gun and shoot Jews. The suspect was subscribed to several Telegram channels that disseminate antisemitic and white supremacist content.
United States: A man in Dallas, Texas, verbally harassed an elderly Jewish woman, calling her a “k*ke” and threatening to kill her.

The ARC is monitoring antisemitic rhetoric and threats that arise from “International Quds Day” hate marches throughout the West. Sponsored by the Iranian regime, “International Quds Day” calls for the elimination of Israel and serves as a global platform for spreading anti-Western radicalism.

At an International Quds Day demonstration in Toronto, Canada, on Sunday, a speaker accused “Zionist institutions” of buying off politicians. At a similar rally in London, England, a marcher held a sign exploiting the memory of Anne Frank to demonize Israel.

Research Uncovers Fake Accounts Driving Mahmoud Khalil Discourse on X

According to data gathered by the Cyabra social media analytics firm, in the February 25 to March 25, 2025 time frame, 19% of 5,857 profiles that produced 9,040 posts and comments about detained former Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil (roughly 1,112) were flagged as fake, nearly double the 7–10% typical in organic discussions.

Of the 1,702 posts and comments from fake profiles, 987 demanded Khalil’s release, falsely portraying him as a principled activist, rather than an instigator of campus unrest and fomenter of antisemitism.

California: Feds arrest East Bay man who ‘researched mass shootings’ targeting Jews

By Niva Ashkenazi

Federal law enforcement officials have arrested a 21-year-old Brentwood man who allegedly sought to build a machine gun using an illegal device made with a 3D printer and was looking to target Jews. It was the second arrest in six months for Noah Kanaye Bauer, who was picked up by Brentwood police on Sept. 6, 2024, after a call about someone possessing a gun at a grocery store. Police said they arrested Bauer with a “Glock style firearm” and searched his home, where they reported finding computer content on mass shootings and antisemitic conspiracy theories. According to court documents, Bauer told police he had been radicalized online.
