(Worthy News) – A new report shows there were at least 468 reported incidents of antisemitism worldwide in January 2024, representing a 171% increase in such incidents from January 2023.
The report was compiled by the US-based Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) which tracks antisemitic incidents for its Monthly Antisemitism Report. CAM classifies incidents of antisemitism (including physical assault, verbal harassment, vandalism, and hate speech) into the following categories: Holocaust Denial, Minimization, and Distortion; Classical; Israel-related; Islamist; and Unattributable.
In its new report, CAM asserted that the surge in antisemitic incidents it recorded for January 2024 can be attributed to the outpouring of antisemitism triggered by the genocidal attack carried out against Israel by the Hamas Palestinian terror group on Oct. 7, 2023.
“Of January’s incidents, 65.38% (306) were Israel-related , while 16.25% (76) were classical and 8.97% (42) had Islamist motives,” CAM said. “The remainder fell into the Holocaust Denial, Minimization, and Distortion and Unattributable categories — with 22 incidents (4.70%) apiece.” Over 70% of last month’s incidents involved hate speech (329 incidents), CAM said.
In one of the incidents tracked by CAM, White Supremacist US commentator Nick Fuentes tells his livestream viewers that Jews must be “absolutely annihilated.” In another American incident, pro-Hamas activists in New York City shouted “Shame on you” at patients of a pediatric cancer ward that had received a donation from a prominent Jewish businessman. In a British incident, a man stormed into a Jewish supermarket in London and, demanding to know “where they stood on Israel and Palestine,” pulled out a knife on staff and customers before being tackled and subdued.
