The CAM Antisemitism Research Center tracked a total of 152 reports of antisemitic incidents worldwide in June 2023, marking a daily average of 5.1 — a 20.4% decrease from the previous month.

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 912 antisemitic incidents in the first six months of 2023, an average of 5.0 incidents per day, compared to 1,026 incidents during the same period in 2022 (5.7 incidents per day). In all of 2022, CAM tallied an average of 5.3 antisemitic incidents daily.

Of June 2023’s incidents, 60.5% (92) had far-right motives (compared to 53.0% of 2022’s yearly total), while 15.8% (24) had Islamist motives (compared to 14.0% of 2022’s yearly total) and 11.2% (17) had far-left motives (compared to 13.5 % of 2022’s yearly total). The remainder — 12.5% (19) — had unidentifiable motives (compared to 19.5% of 2022’s yearly total).

Also in June, CAM monitored 11 physical threats against Jews, as well as 55 incidents of antisemitic vandalism.

Robert Bowers, the white supremacist gunman who murdered 11 Jewish worshipers at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue in 2018, was found guilty in mid-June of 63 federal hate crimes and civil rights offenses stemming from the attack.

Bowers also faces 36 state charges in Pennsylvania. The Pittsburgh synagogue massacre, which occurred during Shabbat morning services on Oct. 27, 2018, was the deadliest act of antisemitic violence in U.S. history.

Israel rejected a report published by the UN Human Rights Council’s “Commission of Inquiry” that accused the Jewish state of pursuing an “intentional strategy” of “delegitimizing and silencing” Palestinian “civil society” groups.

The Permanent Mission of Israel to the UN and International Organizations in Geneva firmly denounced the report, stating, “The Commission of Inquiry against Israel has no legitimacy. It never had.”

The United Nations’ General Assembly has released its Report on the of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

The report is filled with slander, inaccuracies and outright biases.
