The Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) by CAM tracked a total of 619 reports of antisemitic incidents worldwide in April, marking a daily average of 20.6 — up 321% from the same month last year, in an ongoing correlation with the global rise of antisemitism triggered by the October 7th Hamas massacre in Israel.
CAM’s Monthly Antisemitism Report classifies incidents of Jew-hatred (including physical assault, verbal harassment, vandalism, and hate speech) into the following categories: Holocaust Denial, Minimization, and Distortion; Classical; Israel-related; Islamist; and Unattributable.
Of April’s incidents, 75.9% (470) were Israel-related, while 5.8% (36) were classical and 1.3% (8) were Holocaust Denial, Minimization, and Distortion. The remainder fell into the the Islamist and Unattributable categories — at 10.4% (64) and 6.6% (41) respectively.
43 incidents of antisemitic vandalism, as well as 61 physical threats against Jews (6.2% of all incidents), including assaults on female Jewish students at Yale and UCLA, were monitored during the month of April.
A total of 183 incidents of on-campus antisemitism were recorded by the ARC in April, up 815% from the same month the previous year.
There were two new adoptions of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism in April, by the Muslim American Leadership Alliance (MALA) and the Federal Court of Criminal Cassation in Argentina.
