The latest Global Antisemitism Report highlights 105 new incidents of antisemitism monitored worldwide by the Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) by CAM during the past week.
Broken down by ideological categories, 43.8% of the incidents were Far-Left (46), 20.0% Islamist-Inspired (21 incidents) and 9.5% Far-Right (10), with 26.7% Unaffiliated/Other (28).
Coinciding with commemorations of the 25th anniversary of September 11th, CAM's Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) tracked a surge of antisemitic conspiracy theories blaming the attacks on Jews and Israel.
Between Sept. 11-13, the ARC examined 174 high-reach social media posts that together generated at least 56.5 million views, 1.2 million likes, 122,000 shares, and 46,000 comments.
The posts advanced two reinforcing notions. Antisemitic tropes were used to portray Jews and Israel as the hidden architects of 9/11, with a focus on Jewish American real estate developer Larry Silverstein, the World Trade Center leaseholder. At the same time, anti-American narratives expanded that framing, accusing US officials of complicity in steering the country toward Middle East wars on behalf of the Jewish state.
A separate ARC analysis found that 9/11 antisemitic conspiracy theories were often fused with unrelated libels targeting Jews.
Meanwhile, the ARC revealed that a guide published by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) for Muslim K-12 students ahead of the new school year allocated more than a quarter of its text to the situation in Gaza and Palestinian advocacy, but omitted any references to Hamas or October 7th.
Weekly Summary
The ARC documented 105 antisemitic incidents globally, including eight violent acts or threats in Europe.
A woman wearing a Star of David in Berlin was attacked with a broken bottle and a group of Israeli teenagers were chased after being overheard speaking Hebrew in the German capital. In London, three Jewish schoolboys were assaulted on a bus, and a hooded gang targeted a synagogue with fireworks during Rosh Hashanah observances.
