Anti-Israel and Anti-Semitic Incidents Close to Home

In recent editions of this report we have highlighted growing hostility toward Jewish People and Israel in Europe, and the escalating anti-Semitic incidents occurring there.

Sadly, we’re seeing a similar spirit on the move elsewhere around the world.

For example, a shocking new survey in the United Kingdom revealed that the only country the British now dislike more than Israel is North Korea. The poll conducted by the foreign policy institute Chatham House revealed that even Iran is viewed more favorably than Israel among Britons.

Student protester at anti-Semitism rally

And as has been the case elsewhere in Europe, anti-Israel sentiment and hatred of Jewish People tend to go hand in hand. Indeed, by the middle of 2014, British Jewish People had witnessed a 400 percent increase in the number of anti-Semitic incidents compared to the previous year.

Half a world away in South Africa, the news is even more appalling.

There, the student government of the Durban University of Technology, and a campus organization called the Progressive Youth Alliance, recently called on the institution to expel Jewish students. The group organized a student strike in support of kicking all Jewish People out of the university, and those who were reluctant to participate were threatened.  

Of course, these developments transpired very far away from us here in North America. But we are seeing a growing trend of anti-Semitism in the U.S. as well.

According to a brand-new study, more than half of current American Jewish college students have personally witnessed or experienced an anti-Semitic incident in the last academic year.
