The number of anti-Semitic crimes has increased dramatically in Western Europe and overseas, in many places the decision-makers are powerless, and in other places they don't even want to deal with the problem.

Anti-Semitism is at its peak in the United States

In California last year, there were more than 500 anti-Semitic incidents involving Jewish people, including assault, vandalism and harassment. That's a more than 40 percent increase from 2021, confirming the rise of hate crimes and extremism in the state, according to a recently released report by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The document on California was created after a report with the participation of Tel Aviv University came to light.

that anti-Semitic incidents are at a new high worldwide, and the upward trend in the United States is only getting stronger.

Incidentally, the leader of the list is New York, where 580 reported incidents took place, and since these data do not include unreported cases, the real number is probably much higher, reports V4na.com .

In Germany, immigrants are mostly the representatives of Jew-hatred

Anti-Semitism has reached a very serious level in several Western European states. Immigrant Muslims are generally strongly anti-Semitic. This is clear from a recent scientific analysis by the "Anti-Semitism Research Center" (ZfA) of the Technical University of Berlin.

The ZfA evaluated the existing studies of the last ten years and pointed out that

every second immigrant from Islamic-dominated countries has an anti-Semitic worldview.

According to the 2022 study of the German Council of Integration and Migration Experts, which the ZfA refers to among other things, 11.3 percent of Germans agree with anti-Jewish stereotypes. Among those with a Turkish migration background, however, this rate was 50.2 percent.

A similar picture emerges from the ZfA's assessment of anti-Jewish attitudes related to Israel. From the point of view of anti-Semitism, an important factor is how long the persons in question have lived in Germany, whether they have been naturalized, and what country they come from.

In other words, even though Jew-hatred had been present in Germany until now, it took on a dramatic dimension since the beginning of the migration waves and became a kind of imported article.

According to the authorities, an average of five anti-Jewish crimes are committed every day in Germany.

The life of Jews in Germany has changed since 2015, when hundreds of thousands of migrants arrived in Germany from the Islamic cultural area. According to Jewish activist Malca Goldstein-Wolf

"Muslim Jew-hatred is the biggest threat to Jewish life in Germany. There are relatively fewer violent right-wing extremists, but masses of Muslims are not afraid to physically attack Jews who wear kippahs, and they live out their Jew-hatred completely unabashedly.

France tops the list in terms of anti-Semitism

, Jews feel the least safe also from a survey.

The study was conducted on the basis of four main aspects, which are the following: the Jewish community's sense of security, the population's attitude towards Jews and Israel, anti-Semitism, and finally the government's performance on the subject. The lower a country ranks, the worse it is in terms of anti-Semitism. Belgium was in last place.

Taking all aspects of the survey into one, France ranked tenth out of the twelve countries, far behind Italy, which took first place, or Hungary, which took second place. When it comes to safety, France ranks last.

They are barbarians

Sarah Halimi, a 65-year-old Orthodox Jewish woman, was also the victim of an anti-Semitic murder. The man brutally beat her and then threw her out of the window while glorifying Allah.

Later, the court acquitted the perpetrator, saying that he was not responsible at the time of the murder because he was under the influence of drugs.

On January 9, 2015, terrorist Amedy Coulibaly, armed to the chin, killed four people and took seventeen hostages in a grocery store in Paris.

In 2006, the murder of 23-year-old Ilan Halimi, who was kidnapped and then held for weeks by a group of mainly Muslims called the Barbarians, caused international outrage. Their victims were tied up, beaten and tortured. The gang demanded a ransom of 450,000 euros from the Jewish man's wealthy family. The money was not handed over, the half-dead Ilan Halimi was found on the street in the suburbs of Paris, his body covered with burn wounds, he died while being transported to the hospital.
