Antisemitism is on the rise after start of war in Iran — with 34% spike in incidents the first week alone

War breeding worldwide hate

Charles Asher Small, founding director and president of the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy, says: “War is fueling global antisemitism. Communities are paying the price for the Iran war.

“Global monitoring showed a 34% spike in antisemitic incidents the first week alone.

“Attacks are linked to pro-Iran or anti-Jewish conspiracies. We’re talking about antisemitic attacks in the US, like March 12 at Temple Israel in Michigan and Old Dominion University in Virginia, March 8 in San Jose, Calif., are part of the same system.

“Middle Eastern chaos, Iranian ideological fuel and radicalized actors treat synagogues, schools and Jewish institutions as ‘soft targets.’

“Hidden foreign influence is encouraging campus/street radicalization. Michigan, Virginia, California are all part of the same ecosystem.”
