The CAM Antisemitism Research Center tracked a total of 145 reports of antisemitic incidents worldwide in July 2023, marking a daily average of 4.7.

CAM’s Monthly Antisemitism Report classifies incidents of Jew-hatred (including physical assault, verbal harassment, vandalism, and hate speech) by the ideologies of the perpetrators.

Overall, CAM has tracked 1,057 antisemitic incidents in the first seven months of 2023, an average of 5.0 incidents per day, compared to 1,186 incidents during the same period in 2022 (5.6 incidents per day). In all of 2022, CAM tallied an average of 5.3 antisemitic incidents daily.

Of July 2023’s incidents, 50.35% (73) had far-right motives (compared to 53.0% of 2022’s yearly total), while 19.31% (28) had Islamist motives (compared to 14.0% of 2022’s yearly total) and 17.93% (26) had far-left motives (compared to 13.5 % of 2022’s yearly total). The remainder — 12.41% (18) — had unidentifiable motives (compared to 19.5% of 2022’s yearly total).

Also in July CAM monitored 15 physical threats against Jews, as well as 38 incidents of antisemitic vandalism.

The last two weeks of July saw a spate of six reported antisemitic vandalism incidents in the Florida Panhandle city of Pensacola alone.

Pensacola Police and the FBI are investigating the sixth reported case of antisemitic vandalism in the Florida Panhandle city in two weeks.

A total of 78 entities across the globe adopted or endorsed the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism in the first half of 2023, according data compiled by the CAM Antisemitism Research Center and Tel Aviv University’s Center for the Study of Contemporary European History.

The 78 adoptions marked 85.7% of the 91 adoptions in all of 2022, making it likely 2023’s total will surpass last year’s. The overall number of IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism adoptions and endorsements worldwide stood at 1,192 as of the end of June.

There were four new adoptions of the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism in July — by the Republic of Panama; City of Warsaw, Poland; City of Rosemead, California; and Radnor Township, Pennsylvania.

Bravo to Panama on becoming the 42nd country to adopt the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism!

We hope others will follow its lead in taking this important step to fight Jew-hatred.

Thank you, Mayor @trzaskowski_, for recognizing the importance of this definition to combating Jew-hatred.https://t.co/onEe4qih1L

In response to the recent burning of Qurans in Sweden and Denmark and threats to do the same to the sacred texts of the other Abrahamic faiths, CAM organized virtual global Jewish-Muslim solidarity rally on July 27, bringing together more than two dozen distinguished religious and community leaders, as well as grassroots activists, from around the world to speak out and share messages of unity and mutual respect.

Looking ahead, the Second Balkans Forum Against Antisemitism — hosted by Prime Minister of Albania Edi Rama, in partnership with CAM and the Center for Jewish Impact — will take place from November 8-9, 2023, in the Albanian capital of Tirana. The summit will draw top government officials, diplomats, and experts from across the region for important discussions on how to best counter antisemitism and promote interfaith relations.

The full monthly report can be viewed here.
