Anti-Semitism is on the rise around the world.

Anti-Semitism is on the rise around the world.

According to a survey from Tel Aviv University, the number of anti-Semitic incidents globally increased dramatically last year.

The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia are among the countries where there has been a considerable increase, according to the poll.

According to the survey, radical left- and right-wing political movements, as well as social media provocation, encouraged this.

The study’s release falls on Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel, which begins on Wednesday night.

The day is known in Israel as Yom HaShoah, and it commemorates the six million Jews massacred across Europe by Nazi Germany during World War II.

The Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry at Tel Aviv University’s Faculty of Humanities conducted anti-Semitism research based on a review of hundreds of studies from throughout the world, as well as information from law enforcement agencies, the media, and Jewish organizations.

In 2021, the research predicts a “significant increase in various types of anti-Semitic actions in most nations with large Jewish populations.”

Outside of Israel, the United States has the world’s largest Jewish population, and the number of anti-Jewish hate crimes reported in New York and Los Angeles nearly doubled from the previous year.

Between 2010 and 2015, the number of anti-Semitic incidents in France increased by more than 75%.

In August, a major Jewish organization in Canada reported a 40-year peak in anti-Semitic physical violence.

Between 2010 and 2020, the number of reported physical assaults on Jews in the United Kingdom increased by 78 percent.

In Germany, police-recorded anti-Semitic offences rose by 29% from 2020 to 2019, and by 49% from 2019 to 2020.

Anti-Semitic incidents have also increased significantly in Australia, with 88 registered in May alone, the highest monthly total ever.

The authors of the research ascribe the increase in anti-Semitic incidents to reactions to hostilities in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Palestinian militants in May 2021.

That month, Israel and terrorists fought for 11 days in Gaza, killing 261 Palestinians and wounding 14 more.
