THIS WEEK'S GLOBAL ANTISEMITISM REPORT
This week, we continued to monitor antisemitism around the world while advocating for more actions to be made.
With the Jewish High Holiday season underway, far-right antisemitic propaganda leaflets were distributed this week in the U.S. states of Georgia, California, South Carolina, Kentucky, Texas, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
Following the start of the fall semester, multiple antisemitic incidents were reported on college campuses across the U.S. At the University of Texas in Austin, neo-Nazi symbols were graffitied outside a sorority house. At the University of Pennsylvania, the Hillel building was vandalized by an assailant shouting hateful obscenities, a day before the “Palestine Writes” literature festival featured several speakers with long records of antisemitic rhetoric.
In Germany, more than 40 graves at a Jewish cemetery were desecrated. In the UK, a pub near Emirates Stadium in London frequented by Arsenal fans was graffitied with the word “Yids.”
Also this week, Yad Vashem Chairman Dani Dayan addressed the Lithuanian Parliament on the 80th anniversary of the liquidation of the Vilna Ghetto and called on Lithuanian government officials to stop glorifying Nazi war criminals who were involved in the murder of Jews during the Holocaust.
This week’s global antisemitism report highlights 38 new reports of antisemitic incidents. The total includes 31 (81.58%) from the far-right, 1 (2.63%) from the far-left, 5 (13.16%) with Islamist motivations, and 1 (2.63%) unidentifiable in nature.
