Following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, there has been a significant rise in antisemitic incidents across various countries. The Metropolitan Police recorded hate crimes against Jews in the aftermath of the attack at a rate 13 times higher than the same period in 2022. France has seen a particularly sharp increase, with antisemitic acts quadrupling in 2023, with 1,676 acts reported compared to 436 the previous year, according to the Council of Jewish Institutions in France and Le Parisien, which reported a 1,000% rise. In the United States, American University is facing a federal antisemitism complaint due to a 'hostile environment' against Jewish students, with one American Israeli student reporting being spat on and targeted with obscenities. Belgium has also experienced a sharp increase in antisemitic incidents amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. In the U.S., there has been a 360% increase in anti-Semitic incidents since the Hamas attacks, with 505 incidents reported on college campuses.
