University Study Tracks Surge in Antisemitism Across Europe
What happened
A study by Tel Aviv University found that antisemitism has surged across the Western world since the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas and the subsequent war in Gaza. In Berlin, for example, security measures for Jewish institutions have increased, including fortified buildings and armed police presence.
