An uptick in white supremacist activities across the United States was monitored by the CAM Antisemitism Research Center this week. In Orlando, Florida, a group of neo-Nazis displayed hateful antisemitic messages outside the entrance to Disney World. Far-right propaganda leaflets propagating conspiracy theories about Jews were distributed in California, Texas, New York, and Wisconsin, in a continuation of a nationwide trend.

Antisemitic incidents in Germany continued to draw headlines, with two Dutch tourists being physically attacked in Berlin by assailants shouting bigoted remarks about Jews. In Hanau, Germany, a man approached a group of students and began spewing antisemitic remarks while performing the Nazi salute. In the UK, ex-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn praised Finsbury Park Mosque as a “place of peace, hope and solidarity” only a few days after the tax-funded institution was exposed as having hosted several antisemitic imams.

In Belgium, Development Minister Caroline Gennez claimed Israel was “wiping entire Palestinian villages from the map.” In Russia, President Vladimir Putin asserted the West had put Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who he called an “ethnic Jew,” in power to cover up the country’s “glorification of Nazism.” This remark marked a continuation of a steady line of rhetoric from the Kremlin distorting the Holocaust to justify Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

In the Middle East this week, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas posited that Jews were targeted for extermination by the Nazis because of “money lending and usury, not antisemitism.” A total of four Israelis were wounded in two Jerusalem terror attacks, which the Palestinian Authority did not denounce.

This week’s global antisemitism report highlights 38 new reports of antisemitic incidents. The total includes 25 (65.80%) from the far-right, 1 (2.63%) from the far-left, 9 (23.68%) with Islamist motivations, and 3 (7.89%) unidentifiable in nature.
