Incidents included:
Sweden: Anti-Israel activists in Umeå displayed mannequins dressed in Nazi concentration camp uniforms hanging from a gallows, alongside Palestinian flags and the words, "Genocide is genocide."
United Kingdom: The rector of Glasgow University accused Israel of carrying out a "final solution" in Gaza.
Israeli Tourists, Young Jews Harassed and Attacked Across Europe
The past week saw a proliferation of antisemitic incidents in Europe targeting Israeli tourists and young Jews, including:
Spain: A group of French Jewish teens were kicked off a Vueling Airlines flight at Valencia Airport in Spain and reportedly subjected to anti-Israel verbal abuse. CAM CEO Sacha Roytman called the incident a "shocking act of antisemitic discrimination."
Greece: Passengers on an Israeli cruise ship were blocked by pro-Palestinian demonstrators from disembarking on the island of Syros. On the island of Rhodes, a group of Israeli teens were violently assaulted outside a popular nightclub.
Switzerland: A group of Orthodox Jewish yeshiva students were threatened by a knife-wielding man shouting "Death to Jews" and "Free Palestine" in Lucerne.
Columbia University Reaches $200 Million Settlement With US Government
After months of pressure from the Trump administration over its handling of antisemitism on campus, Columbia University announced it would pay more than $200 million to the U.S. government in a settlement that will restore the vast majority of its previously-suspended federal funding.
In its statement, Columbia did not admit wrongdoing, but acknowledged that "Jewish students and faculty have experienced painful, unacceptable incidents, and that reform was and is needed."
