Antisemitism during the Israel–Hamas war
 ...

Following the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 and the outbreak of the Israel–Hamas war, there has been a surge of antisemitism around the world.[1][2][3] Israeli Immigration Minister Ofir Sofer has stated that Israel is bracing to expect a large wave of Jews migrating to Israel due to the rising antisemitism around the world.[4]

Africa

Egypt

On 8 October 2023, an Egyptian police officer shot and killed two Israeli tourists and an Egyptian tour guide in Alexandria, Egypt.[5][6][7][8]

South Africa

On 19 October 2023, the walls of the promenade in Sea Point in Cape Town were daubed with antisemitic graffiti. The City of Cape Town swiftly removed the graffiti.[9][10]

A Jewish man walking to synagogue in the Johannesburg suburb of Sydenham was accosted by a male jogger screaming antisemitic insults at him. The jogger then assaulted the man, by knocking him over, kicking and punching him while he lay on the ground. A charge of assault has been laid at Sandringham Police Station.[11]

On January 12, 2024, Jewish cricket player David Teeger was stripped of the captaincy of the under-19 cricket team by Cricket South Africa. The removal of Teeger's captaincy was claimed by Cricket South Africa to have been a measure to reduce protests at the 2024 Under-19 Cricket World Cup, hosted in South Africa.[12] The measure led to claims of antisemitism by the South African Jewish Board of Deputies. [13]

Tunisia

On 18 October 2023, the El Hamma synagogue of El Hamma, Tunisia, which is a Jewish pilgrimage site and contains the tomb of 16th-century Kabbalist Rabbi Yosef Ma'aravi, was severely damaged during anti-Israel riots, with hundreds of people filmed setting fire to the building.[14][15][16]

Asia

Armenia

On 15 November, unknown assailants set fire to the Mordechai Navi Synagogue in Yerevan and disseminated the arson attack on social media.[17]

China

After the war began, the Associated Press noted a rise in antisemitism on Chinese social media sites, substantive enough that the Israeli embassy in Beijing had to filter comments on its social media account. An Israeli employee of the Israeli embassy in Beijing, China, was stabbed and injured by a foreign man on 13 October.[18]

Antisemitic reactions to the Israel–Hamas war have been widespread on Chinese social media.[19][20][21] Antisemitic comments were not removed from Chinese social media sites indicating that the state is comfortable with these kinds of remarks, according to Eric Liu, an editor of China Digital Times.[22]

Europe

Austria

On 1 November 2023, unidentified vandals set a fire and sprayed swastikas on external walls overnight in the Jewish section of the Vienna Central Cemetery. The entrance lobby to a ceremonial hall was burned for the first time since the 1938 Kristallnacht pogrom by the Nazis, but there were no injuries. The attack was condemned by Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer.[23][24][25]

A 16-year-old living in Steyr, Upper Austria was arrested on 7 December after allegedly planning to attack a synagogue in Vienna. The teenager announced on online chats that he intended to attack an unspecified synagogue. Authorities seized several electronic data carriers from his house, which stored images and videos with instructions for producing explosives, weapons, and ammunition.[26]

Belgium

On 22 November, at least 85 gravestones were damaged and many Stars of David were stolen from a cemetery in Charleroi.[27] Only the cemetery's Jewish section was vandalized.[28] On 19 December, swastikas and Stars of David were graffitied on gravestones in a Jewish cemetery in Kraainem.[29]

In February, an Imam at the Belgian parliament recited a verse from the Quran explicitly calling for Muslims to kill and take Jews captive.[30]

In April, a swastika was spray-painted on a Holocaust survivor's home in Fléron, alongside the words "Gaza free".[31]

Cyprus

Israel confirmed the Mossad helped local authorities foil a terror plot against Israeli and Jewish people in Cyprus on 10 December. Netanyahu's office accused the Iranian government of being behind the plot, and said on behalf of the Mossad that Israel was "troubled" by Iranian use of Turkish-controlled Northern Cyprus for both terrorism and as an "operational and transit area".[32][33]

Denmark

Danish police arrested at least four suspected Hamas operatives who were planning attacks on Jewish or Israeli targets in Denmark.[34]

France

In response to a rise in antisemitic incidents in France, the French government banned pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the country. In a televised address on 12 October 2023, French President Emmanuel Macron warned, "Let's remember that antisemitism has always been the precursor to other forms of hate: one day against the Jews, the next against the Christians, then the Muslims, and then all those who are still the target of hate due to their culture, origin or gender."[35]

On 31 October 2023, Stars of David were painted in multiple spots across several building fronts in a southern district of Paris. Similar tags appeared over the weekend in suburbs of the city, including Vanves, Fontenay-aux-Roses and Aubervilliers.[36]

On 1 November, Paris police chief Laurent Nunez opened a probe into antisemitic chants filmed on the Paris metro. In the video, youth are heard chanting, "Fuck the Jews and fuck your mother, long live Palestine. We are Nazis and proud of it."[37]

On 4 November, a Jewish woman was stabbed in Lyon and a swastika was graffitied on her home.[38]

A report released in late January 2024, approximately 3.5 months post the October 7 attack, documented a significant uptick in antisemitic acts within France. The Service de Protection de la Communauté Juive (SPCJ) reported a 1000% surge in antisemitic incidents in 2023 compared to the previous year, totaling 1,676 recorded acts. The majority of these incidents targeted individuals, involving threatening words and gestures. Notably, the increase in antisemitic acts was not solely linked to the Israeli response to the October 7 attack; instead, it occurred immediately following the broadcast of the October 7 massacres.[39]

The SPCJ identified "Palestine" as a significant factor, mentioned in almost one-third of antisemitic acts since October 7. Additionally, French Jews reported feeling increasingly unsafe, with a 1,500% increase in antisemitic acts in private spheres and a surge of 1,200% in antisemitic acts within schools or educational settings, often related to Nazism.[39]

Between 7 October and 17 December over 1,200 French Jews opened Aliyah files to migrate to Israel an increase of 430% compared to last year. Many were driven by a combination of solidarity with Israel as well as rising antisemitism in France.[40]

On March 1 2024, a Jewish man was assaulted by a Muslim teenager and was called a "dirty Jew" after leaving a synagogue in the 20th district in Paris.[41]

Between 13 and 14 May 2024, vandals graffitied several sites around The Marais, a historic district home to many Jews, with red handprints, a symbol used by pro-Palestinian activists.[42] Sites vandalized include schools, nurseries, and The Wall of the Righteous, a memorial that honors individuals who saved Jews during the Nazi occupation of France.[43] The incident was described as antisemitic by French President Emmanuel Macron, President of the Conseil Représentatif des Institutions juives de France Yonathan Arfi, and the Union of Jewish Students in France.[44]

On 17 May 2024, a synagogue in Rouen was set on fire by an Algerian arsonist, damaging the synagogue significantly.[45][46]

Germany

In Berlin, the houses of several Jews were marked with a Star of David, echoing the marking of Jewish homes and businesses during Nazism.[47][48]

On 18 October, two molotov cocktails were thrown at a synagogue in the Mitte neighborhood of central Berlin. One person was arrested.[49] Following the firebombing, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz declared, "Attacks on Jewish institutions and acts of violence on our streets are despicable and cannot be tolerated. Antisemitism has no place in Germany."[50][51]

On 22 October, Chancellor Scholz said, "I am deeply outraged by the way in which antisemitic hatred and inhuman agitation have been breaking out since that fateful October 7, on the internet, in social media around the world, and shamefully also here in Germany. Here in Germany, of all places. That is why our 'never again' must be unbreakable."[52]

Latvia

Following the Israel–Hamas war, several Riga Stradiņš University students from Israel were reported to have received hate texts from other foreign students, with one person contacting the State Security Service in connection with anti-Semitic expressions and threats. Ministry of Education and Science said that it will assess the situation at the university regarding possible conflicts between foreign students in connection with the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, while the State Security Service confirmed that it is investigating the situation.[53]

Latvian Foreign Minister Krišjānis Kariņš said, "Latvia must have zero tolerance against any manifestations of incitement to ethnic hatred, and possible conflicts between foreign students of Riga Stradins University (RSU) should be taken very seriously", stressing that, "If it really turns out RSU students are inciting ethnic hatred, it could result not only in expulsion from the university, but also from the country".[54]

Netherlands

Following the 7 October attacks, the local Jewish community voiced its concern that unrest in the Middle East could spread to the Netherlands, citing historical trends.[55] The National Coordinator for Combating Anti-Semitism of the Dutch government and the interest group Center for Information and Documentation Israel [nl] (CIDI) reported a considerable increase in antisemitic expression since the escalation of hostilities.[56] Recorded incidents, collected in accordance with the IHRA definition of antisemitism,[57] include acts of vandalism, verbal and physical abuse, intimidation, and bullying.[58][59]

On 25 October 2023, the CIDI filed a complaint against the owner of the popular Instagram account Cestmocro and a number of its followers for inciting hatred and violence against Jews. It also called on the cabinet of ministers to take an explicit position "against this form of incitement against the Jewish community."[60][61] Instagram removed the account Cestmocrotv of the same owner on 8 November.[62]

On 9 November 2023, an editorial cartoon by Jos Collignon [nl] in de Volkskrant attracted controversy for portraying the CIDI as an appendage on the "long arm of Israel" and for allegedly trivializing Jewish concerns.[63][64]

In December 2023, German prosecutors announced the arrests of four suspected Hamas members, one of whom was a Dutch national who had been apprehended in Rotterdam. The group had allegedly planned to attack Jewish sites.[65]

Allegations of antisemitism were raised after a series of lectures on the Holocaust at the Utrecht University of Applied Sciences (HU) were postponed indefinitely in January 2024, after pro-Palestinian activists had criticized the involvement of the CIDI in the development of the curriculum.[66][67] In a statement, the university announced that it needed "more time to place the events of 7 October and beyond in a broader perspective, with room for diverse opinions and beliefs", later adding that "the safety of speakers, students, teachers and visitors cannot be guaranteed".[68] The CIDI and fellow interest group Central Jewish Consultation [nl] responded negatively, questioning the relation between Holocaust education and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and claiming that the HU had shown that "threats and intimidation work".[69] In the wake of widespread disapproval and criticism from politicians and other public figures, the university reversed its decision.[70]

On 3 February 2024, the historic synagogue of Middelburg was found to be defaced with swastikas. Mayor Harald Bergmann voiced his disgust and police started an investigation.[71] On 19 February, an underaged boy was detained for the act of vandalism and entered into a juvenile delinquency intervention program.[72]

On 10 March 2024, the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam was inaugurated by King Willem-Alexander in a ceremony attended by a number of Holocaust survivors and their descendants, Jewish community leaders, and foreign dignitaries, which included President Isaac Herzog of Israel.[73][74] In response, about a thousand pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered in the vicinity to protest Israel's conduct in the war against Hamas.[75][76] The atmosphere of the protests around the Portuguese Synagogue was described as "grim", as protesters jeered at ceremony guests, threw projectiles, vandalized police vehicles, and skirmished with riot police, resulting in 13 arrests.[77][78]

A concert by Lenny Kuhr in Waalwijk on 24 March 2024 was disrupted by four people who unfurled a Palestinian flag and called her a terrorist and accused the singer's family in Israel of genocide.[79] Demissionary Minister of Justice and Security Dilan Yeşilgöz denounced the action and stated: "That is hatred of Jews. There is no place for that in the Netherlands."[80] The National Coordinator for Combating Anti-Semitism, Eddo Verdoner, also described the incident as antisemitic. Kuhr is Jewish and has relatives living in Israel, including a grandchild who is a conscript in the country's military.[81]

Poland

At a pro-Palestinian protest in Warsaw on 21 October, a Norwegian medical student was pictured holding an antisemitic poster that showed the flag of Israel in a trash can alongside the text "keep the world clean."[82][83]

On 12 December, far-right Polish lawmaker Grzegorz Braun used a fire extinguisher on a lit menorah and removed it from the wall during a Hanukkah celebration involving Polish-Jewish leaders and Israel's ambassador in the country's parliament.[84] Braun then said, "There can be no place for the acts of this racist, tribal, wild Talmudic cult on the premises of the Sejm." He was expelled from parliament as a result, and his actions were condemned by several Polish politicians and his own party.[85][86]

Portugal

On 11 October 2023, three days after the October 7 attacks by Hamas on Israel, vandals defaced the synagogue of Porto's Jewish community, leaving pro-Palestinian messages, including "Free Palestine" and "End Israeli apartheid".[87][88] On February 3, 2024, a housing protest in Porto escalated into an antisemitic demonstration, where participants held signs assigning blame to Jews and Zionists for economic challenges. Some signs called for the 'cleansing the world of Jews'.[89]

In April 2024, a woman wearing a shirt with the date 7 October and an anti-fascist symbol was arrested by Spanish police after insulting and assaulting another woman for being Jewish during a pro-Palestine demonstration in Madrid.[95]

Sweden

Since the start of the war, claims of Swedish media silencing pro-Palestinian voices due to being run by Jews and Zionists have spread on social media.[96] One viral video posted in October claimed that all major Swedish media outlets are "owned by Jewish families".[97][96]

On 4 November, pro-Palestinian demonstrators burned an Israeli flag and chanted "bomb Israel" outside the Malmö Synagogue. The European Jewish Congress condemned the incident: "Intimidating the Jewish community and blaming them for the events in the Middle East is blatant antisemitism."[98]

Switzerland

On March 2 2024, an Orthodox Jew was stabbed by a 15-year old in Zürich.[99] The teen later said that he was doing the attack on behalf of Al-Aqsa, alluding to Jihadist concepts.[100]

New Zealand

On November 7, pro-Palestinian graffiti was sprayed on the fence of the Beth Shalom centre in Auckland's Epsom suburb. An unsuccessful attempt was also made to set the property on fire.

In mid November 2023, New Zealand's Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) and The Disinformation Project reported a surge in both anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in New Zealand following the Israel-Hamas war. Antisemitic content surfaced on both social media and gaming platforms. According to Disinformation Project researcher Kate Hannah, New Zealand Jews were increasingly conflated with all Israelis and the Israeli Government. Hannah said that these attitudes were anti-semitic, xenophobic and contributed to division in New Zealand society. Similarly, New Zealand Jewish Council spokesperson Juliet Moses reported a surge in anti-semitic threats of violence, death threats and extreme abuse both online and offline since 7 October.[150]

In mid December 2023, a survey conducted by the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand reported that New Zealand Jewish children were encountering an increase in antisemitic abuse, intimidation, and bullying. In two cases, one child was physically assaulted and another had a swastika and a Star of David drawn side-by-side on their school shirt. While the Holocaust Centre usually dealt with two formal anti-Semitic complaints each year, the number of complaints had increased by five times in the past two months since 7 October 2023. According to the Holocaust Centre, 40% of the incidents reported in the survey involved dehumanising and demonising allegations about Jews. These included children being greeted by their peers with Nazi salutes, being called "dirty Jews," being told "Jews control the world," and jokes about Jews being gassed, and the blood libel claim that Jews "chopped off baby's heads." However, only 40% of parents reported these incidents to their schools with the majority preferring to resolve the matter with the parent of the bullying child.[151]
