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."[43]

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.[47]

Between 7 October and 17 December 2023 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.[48]

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."[89][90] Instagram removed the account Cestmocrotv of the same owner on 8 November.[91]

Since the beginning of the Israel–Hamas war on October 7, 2023, the rate of antisemitic incidents in the US has increased.[176] A study commissioned by the Combat Antisemitism Movement estimates that 61% of American Jews reported experiencing antisemitism during the year since the war began, and that the proportion of Jewish adults in the US saying there was antisemitism in their area was more than double that of pervious years.[177] Surveys published February 2024 by the American Jewish Committee estimate that since October 7, 2023, the proportion of Americans who say that the "status of Jews in the U.S. is less secure than a year ago" increased significantly, and the top reason given was the war and its aftermath.[178]

On October 25, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reported antisemitic incidents in the U.S. had increased 388% since the war began, including assault, harassment, and vandalism,[179] and an ADL report in 2024 found that there were 200% more antisemitic incidents from October 7, 2023 to September 24, 2024, relative to the same period a year prior.[180] A December 2024 study by the ADL found that job applicants with Jewish or Israeli names were discriminated against in hiring.[181]

The ADL's assessment of the increase in antisemitic incidents has been criticized for conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism. On November 11, 2023, The Intercept reported the Anti-Defamation League was including Jewish anti-war and peace rallies in its analysis of antisemitic attacks.[182] Bernie Steinberg, the former director of Harvard Hillel, told The Harvard Crimson that pro-Israeli activists should stop "weaponizing" charges of antisemitism against pro-Palestinian activism, writing, "It is not antisemitic to demand justice for all Palestinians living in their ancestral lands."[183]

Accusations that Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza strip as part of the ongoing war have increased since it began, with human rights organizations Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch both accusing Israel of genocide in late 2024.[184][185] Some commentators have said that such accusations can be antisemitic. The novelist and historian of Israel Dara Horn said that there has been a proliferation of “fact-resistant slogans that demonize Jews” since October 7 across America, offering the example of “Genocide supporters!”. Horn called these accusations “recycled from medieval blood libels and KGB talking points”.[186] Genocide accusations have been criticized in strong terms as a kind of "blood libel".[187][188][189]

Incidents

Demonstrators at protests against the Israel–Hamas war and other aspects of the Arab-Israeli conflict have been accused of antisemitic acts.

On 10 June 2024, a demonstration organized by Within Our Lifetime took place near a memorial exhibit in lower Manhattan for the victims of the Nova music festival massacre, in which over 360 people were killed. New York leaders and politicians, including mayor Eric Adams and US Representatives Hakeem Jeffries, Ritchie Torres, Jamaal Bowman, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez condemned the demonstration as antisemitic.[190][191] Two days later, five houses (three in Manhattan, two in Brooklyn) belonging to Jewish leaders and board members, including Brooklyn Museum director Anne Pasternak were vandalized with red paint and pro-Palestinian graffiti. Red triangles were spray-painted onto one of the houses.[192] The NYPD recorded 45 antisemitic hate crimes in New York City in June 2024, 57% of the total number of hate crimes.[193]

On June 23, 2024, pro-Palestinian demonstrators attempted to block people from entering the main entrance of the Adas Torah synagogue, Los Angeles, which was hosting a seminar about real estate in Israel and the West Bank. Organizers said they were protesting the advertisement of homes in the occupied West Bank, where Israeli settlements are illegal under international law.[194] The demonstration deteriorated into violent clashes between pro-Palestinian participants and pro-Israel counterprotesters. A Jewish woman was beaten at the scene.[195] President Biden tweeted "I'm appalled by the scenes outside of Adas Torah synagogue in Los Angeles. Intimidating Jewish congregants is dangerous, unconscionable, antisemitic, and un-American."[196] At least two lawsuits have been filed against the protest groups, alleging that they violated the law by blocking people from attending a religious event.[197]

In May 2024, around half of the Seattle Wing Luke Museum's employees walked out to protest a new exhibit on racism and antisemitism titled "Confronting Hate Together", claiming that part of the exhibit "conflate[s] anti-Zionism with antisemitism".[198][199]

The increase in antisemitic incidents has included instances of individual harassment and violent or property crime. On October 9, 2023, a sukkah at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt was vandalized with anti-Israel graffiti.[200] On October 10, a man threw rocks through the glass doors of a synagogue and cafe in Fresno, California, the second with a note reading "All Jewish businesses will be targeted".[201] On October 11, at Columbia University, a woman assaulted an Israeli man with a stick after he confronted her for ripping down posters with pictures of and information about kidnapped Israelis. She has been charged with a hate crime.[202] On October 11, a man was arrested for sending threatening emails to a synagogue in Charlotte, North Carolina.[203] On October 14, a man in New York's Grand Central Terminal punched a woman in the face and told her it was because she was Jewish.[204]

On October 15, 2023, in Berkeley, California, a billboard calling out antisemitism was defaced with anti-Israel graffiti. Several San Francisco buildings were vandalized with similar messages—some praising Hamas' attacks—sparking condemnation by Mayor London Breed and District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, who characterized the graffiti as antisemitic.[205] Around seven members of White Lives Matter California held a demonstration on a bridge in Walnut Creek, holding up signs reading "No More Wars for I$rael" and promoting the neo-Nazi propaganda film Europa: The Last Battle.[206]

On October 19, 2023, the Illinois Comptroller's office fired one of its lawyers, Sarah Chowdhury, over antisemitic remarks she posted on the Instagram page of another lawyer, who is Jewish. The latter said that Chowdhury had been prompted to make the remarks by media coverage of the war in Gaza. Chowdhury was also fired from her position as president of the South Asian Bar Association of Chicago.[207]

A man broke into a Jewish family's home in Los Angeles on October 25, 2023, yelling "Free Palestine" and "Kill Jews".[176]

On October 29, threats against the Jewish community at Cornell University were posted online, threatening to shoot, rape, and murder Jewish students and encouraging violence against them. The FBI is investigating the incident as a hate crime. On October 31, the New York State Police announced they had a person of interest in custody.[208][209] On November 3, CNN reported the arrest of 20-year-old Jordanian national Sohaib Abuayyash for plotting a terrorist attack against the Jewish community in Houston, Texas.[210] At the University of Massachusetts, a Jewish student attending a peaceful event on November 3 calling for the release of hostages was attacked by another student, who also spat on an Israeli flag.[211]

On November 6, a woman was arrested after ramming her car into a Black Hebrew Israelite school in Indianapolis, Indiana, mistakenly believing it to be an "Israel school."[212] On December 7, a man fired two rounds from a shotgun into the air outside a synagogue in Albany and made threatening statements, but no injuries were reported. The shooter was confronted by a nearby driver and fled after claiming he was being wronged; he is also alleged to have said "Free Palestine" at some point during the attack. Albany police arrested the shooter about a block away.[213] The shooter was identified as Mufid Fawaz Alkhader, a 28-year-old resident of Schenectady who was born in Iraq.[214]

In January 2024 a game between the girls' varsity teams from The Leffell School and Roosevelt High School Early College Studies in Yonkers was stopped when Roosevelt students began hurling antisemitic slurs at Leffell students. The New York City Public Schools Alliance reported that one of the students yelled "I support Hamas, you fucking Jew" and during the third quarter became aggressive and violent during the play resulting in injuries of Leffell's players.[215][216]

On 29 May 2024, a man was arrested after saying antisemitic statements and attempting to ram pedestrians with his car outside of an Orthodox Jewish school in New York City. He was charged with second-degree attempted murder as a hate crime.[217]

On 10 August 2024, 22-year-old Victor Sumpter stabbed a Jewish man in his 30s near the headquarters of the Chabad Lubavitch movement in Crown Heights, Brooklyn while yelling "Free Palestine". The Jewish man was hospitalized and was expected to recover. Sumpter was arrested and charged second-degree assault as a hate crime.[218]

On October 22, 2024, the Philadelphia synagogue Congregation Mikveh Israel was targeted with vandalism, arson, and an attempted break-in.[219] Several other Philadelphia synagogues had been targeted with antisemitic, anti-Zionist, and neo-Nazi graffiti in April.[220]

On October 26, 2024, a man in Chicago was arrested and charged with 14 felonies after shooting a 39-year-old Jewish man who was walking to synagogue. The gunman, Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, also shot at police and paramedics before being apprehended. Alderman Debra Silverstein called for the case to be treated as a hate crime.[221] On November 1, authorities charged Abdallahi with terrorism and hate crime charges.[222] Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson condemned the attack following Silverstein's criticism of his initial failure to identify the victim as "a Jewish man, wearing traditional Jewish garb, walking to a Jewish place of worship on the Jewish day of rest."[222] Abdallahi, a Mauritanian national and illegal immigrant, had been released into the U.S. following his apprehension by the San Diego Sector Border Patrol in March 2023.[223]

Antisemitic slogans and graffiti were noted on medical campuses including UCLA and UCSF, along with demonization of Israel, rationalizing terrorism, and faculty posting antisemitic tropes and “derogatory comments about Jewish health care professionals”.[224]

In November 2024, hundreds of posters depicting Jewish faculty members as "wanted" were spread across the University of Rochester campus. The posters accused Jewish faculty members of ethnic cleansing, racism, hate speech, and intimidation. University President Sarah Mangelsdorf called the incident an act of antisemitism.[225]

On the November 2024 anniversary of Kristallnacht, the only glatt kosher restaurant in the U.S capital, Washington D.C., was vandalized by breaking glass. Kristallnacht, the Nazi-ordered night of antisemitic attacks on Jewish homes, synagogues and businesses, was known as the ‘night of the broken glass”.[226]

Hedy Wald and Steven Roth noted increased antisemitic incidents in U.S. medicine during the Israel-Hamas war, including Holocaust distortion and inversion.[224]

In December 2024, a Jewish University of Michigan regent was targeted three times with Hamas symbolism and vandalism to his home, which the university called “a clear act of antisemitic intimidation.”[227]

On October 9, 2023, participants in a pro-Palestinian rally in Sydney organized by Palestine Action Group, were widely reported to have chanted "Gas the Jews" in front of the Sydney Opera House.[228] however a subsequent police review found that the phrase being chanted was "where's the Jews" and there was evidence of other "offensive and completely unacceptable" chants being said at the rally, such as "fuck the Jews".[229][230]

On October 13, three men gave a Nazi salute outside the Sydney Jewish Museum.[231] On October 14, 20-30 members of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Network marched in front of and into the Flinders Street railway station in Melbourne, displaying a banner reading "Expose Jewish Power" and distributing neo-Nazi literature.[232]

Between October and December 2023, Australia experienced a surge in both anti-Semitism and Islamophobia following the outbreak of hostilities between Israel and Hamas on 7 October.[233][234] Between 7 October and 8 November, the ECAJ recorded 221 antisemitic incidents, with 42 being recorded in one week alone. Documented hate crime incidents have included spitting at women, gun threats, threats to synagogues and Jewish schools, graffiti, property damage, hate mail, and verbal abuse. The Victorian Police also recorded 72 reports of antisemitic incidents between 7 October and 9 November, resulting in 37 investigations and 10 arrests. ECAJ's research director Julie Nathan believed that many incidents of antisemitism went unreported.[234] By 9 December 2023, ECAJ estimated there had been a 591% increase in reported antisemitic incidents in Australia in 2023. Notable incidents have included a Sydney Jewish man being verbally abused for wearing a kippah[233] and Jewish parents advising their children to hide Jewish clothing in public.[233]

Elsa Tuet-Rosenberg, Matt Chun and Zaineb Mazloum, and Clementine Ford launched a doxxing campaign against Jewish creatives in Australia releasing personal details of over 600 including those with no direct connection with Israel and have not made public comments about the Hamas massacre or the war in Gaza resulting in a campaign of antisemitic harassment and death threats. Several of their shop were graffitied with "No Jews" messages while a couple received death threats to their 5-year-old child with a photograph of their child with a message saying "I Know where you live".[235][236][237]

On October 12, 2024 (Shabbat and Yom Kippur), a bakery in Sydney owned by Jewish television chef Ed Almagor was vandalized with the word "beware" and an inverted red triangle.[238]

On December 6, two masked men smashed a window on the Adass Israel synagogue in Ripponlea, Melbourne, and then poured gasoline inside and lit it ablaze while worshippers were inside for morning prayer, forcing them to evacuate and injuring at least one person. A large fire broke out, and 60 firefighters battled the flames for about two hours. Significant damage was caused to the synagogue, mostly in its Sephardi section.[239][240] The incident was condemned by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who described it as a "deliberate, unlawful attack" and assured that antisemitism had no place in the country.[241]

On November 7, 2023, 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. Google Maps had mistakenly listed the property as the local Israeli consulate. The incident was condemned by ACT Party Member of Parliament David Seymour, who reported the matter to Police.[242]

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.[243]

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.[244]

In November 2024, the New Zealand Jewish Council reported a sharp increase in antisemitic incidents, with 227 in the year since October 7, an average of 9.7 each month, compared to 166 in the eight years from 2014 to 2022.[245]

On 30 December 2023, three foreign nationals from Lebanon and Syria were arrested under suspicion of planning an attack as the country held the Maccabiah Games.[247] The three, reportedly waiting for a 35-kilo parcel from Yemen, were suspected to be part of a terror cell, and they rented rooms in a hotel which was no more than two blocks away from the Israeli embassy.[248]
