Data on Antisemitic Incidents:
This week's Global Antisemitism Report highlights 133 new incidents of antisemitism monitored worldwide by the Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) by CAM during the past week.
Categorized by ideological motivation, 72.9% were Far-Left (97 incidents), 9.8% Islamist (13 incidents), 9% Far-Right (12 incidents), and 8.3% Unattributable (11 incidents).
Broken down by type, 78.2% were Anti-Israel/Anti-Zionism (104 incidents), 8.3% Classical Antisemitism (11 Incidents), 7.5% Holocaust Minimization/Denial (10 incidents), 3.8% Unattributable (5 incidents), and 2.3% Islamist (3 incidents).
Summary of Events Over the Last Week:
The New York Times issued an Editors’ Note on Tuesday, clarifying that a Gazan child recently portrayed in a front-page story as a starvation victim had a pre-existing health condition not originally reported.
This case marked only the latest example of international media outlets fueling global antisemitism by parroting Hamas lies about the humanitarian situation in Gaza. Fair journalistic reporting would expose and call out Hamas for this cynical propaganda ruse.
Surge in Southeast Europe Incidents
The Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) by CAM recorded a dramatic 133% increase in antisemitic incidents in Southeast Europe this week, a rise largely driven by an escalating series of acts of harassment and violence targeting Israelis in Greece.
The latest reported incidents in Greece included an attack at a beach bar in Athens that ended with an Israeli tourist having part of his ear bitten off by an assailant who shouted, "Free Palestine," "Damn Israel," and "I am Hamas."
Costa Rica Adopts IHRA Definition in Growing Regional Trend
Costa Rica became the sixth Latin American nation to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism, a move facilitated and welcomed by CAM, which held its annual Latin American Forum Against Antisemitism in San José last year.
UCLA and Brown University Reach Settlements With US Government
The University of California, Los Angeles and Brown University agreed to financial settlements with the Trump administration this week after facing federal scrutiny for their failures to address on-campus antisemitism in the aftermath of October 7th.
As part of the settlements, both schools committed to a number of steps to protect Jewish students from antisemitic discrimination, harassment, and violence.
