There were around 400 anti-Semitic attacks perpetrated worldwide in 2018 alone, noted researchers from Tel Aviv University, in Israel.
The number of anti-Semitic attacks shot up around the world last year, killing the largest number of Jews in decades and creating an “increasing sense of emergency” among Jewish communities, according to new research released Wednesday.
Questions of anti-Semitism and the use of anti-Semitic tropes have dominated political debates in both the United States and the United Kingdom over the past year. In Britain, the leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, was criticized this week for writing a glowing endorsement for a book by economist John Hobson that blamed the Jews for imperialism.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump released a statement, intended to mark Jewish American Heritage Month, in which he condemned the rise of anti-Semitic attacks in the U.S, including the attack in Pittsburgh. But some, including Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, have said that Trump’s presidency has created an atmosphere that allows anti-Semitism to flourish.
