U.S. registers most outbreaks of global antisemitism in August: Watchdog report

A shocking new report has found that Jew-hatred in the U.S. dramatically spiked in August.

The United States recorded the highest number of antisemitism incidents in August, with 162 incidents. That represented a 13.3% increase from the 143 incidents recorded in July, noted the CAM report.

CAM stated" 458 of the 694 incidents (66.3%) recorded in August involved Israel-related antisemitism, reflecting the persistent trend of anti-Zionist rhetoric and attacks directed at Jewish individuals and institutions in the ongoing aftermath of the October 7th massacre."

Anti-Zionism is defined as the rejection of the Jewish state and translates into efforts to dismantle Israel via the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign (BDS) and comparisons with Hitler movement. The German and Austrian parliaments define BDS as an antisemitic campaign that recalls the Nazi boycott campaign of Jewish businesses during the Holocaust.

 In Germany, a Russian national sought to attack the Israeli embassy in Berlin.

 In Spain, the anti-Israel musician Bob Vylan articulated support for "armed resistance" to oppose "Israel's genocide."  Israel and the Trump administration deny that Israel is engaged in genocidal activity. Critics argue that pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian activists are spreading disinformation. 

The global surge in denial of the Holocaust also continued. Anti-Israel protesters in Sydney held signs declaring "Zionists are neo-Nazis" and "Never again means never again for anyone."

In Germany, antisemites vandalized a stone column at a Holocaust memorial in Baden-Baden in the state of Baden-Württemberg.
