Following the corona virus, there has been an increase in expressions of classical anti-Semitism around the world, according to a report by the Ministry of Diaspora for 2021 that will be presented to the government tomorrow (Sunday), ahead of this week's International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

According to the report, corona restrictions and immunization policies have encouraged corona deniers and others to accuse Jews of being responsible for the epidemic, profiting from vaccines and exploiting the crisis to strengthen their grip on governments and the global economy.

In addition, according to the report, the Corona caused the Holocaust to be trivialized, because members of Congress, public figures and social networks compared the restrictions to restrictions on Jews in the Holocaust, and the requirement to be vaccinated against yellow badges that Jews were forced to wear in the Holocaust.

The report also shows that in the past year there has been a surge in antisemitic incidents around the world, partly because of Operation Wall Guard in May 2021, which was a cause for antisemitic outbursts on social networks and in the public sphere, in exceptional numerical and geographical scopes.

Data from the Ministry of Diaspora show that during the days of the military operation (between May 6 and May 21), more than 430,000 antisemitic publications were monitored on the networks.

In total, during 2021, the Diaspora Ministry's monitoring system identified 3.5 million antisemitic posts in English, French, German, Russian, Spanish and Arabic.

The ministry says that there is a correlation between violent discourse on social networks and violent actions in the public sphere against Jews, who are perceived as collectively responsible for Israel's actions: Throughout the year and during May in particular, mass demonstrations against Israel took place in synagogues, Jewish centers and Jewish community institutions.

In Britain, a record of decades of violent antisemitic incidents was recorded, according to the report, and from January to June 2021, 1,308 antisemitic incidents were reported against the Jewish community across the UK. On the other hand, the report states that no incidents of violence against Jews were reported in France in May, due to the government's close enforcement against pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

In the United States, the Diaspora Ministry warns, there is a normalization process in the antisemitic discourse, which "penetrates the mainstream in national politics, on campuses and on the street. Far-right activists continue to pose a security risk to Jews. Belonging to the oppressive majority and supporters of Israel. " The report presents a geographical segmentation of antisemitic discourse in cyberspace - Paris is ranked as the city with the largest number of antisemitic surfers, followed by New York, Los Angeles, Washington and Berlin.

During the government review, a survey conducted by the Ministry of Diaspora regarding the attitudes of Israeli citizens regarding manifestations of anti-Semitism in the world will also be presented.

The survey, conducted among 500 respondents, shows that nearly 50% of Israelis traveling in Europe or the United States keep secret Israeli or Jewish symbols, while the network, only 20% of respondents keep secret their Jewish identity or Israel against visitors from abroad.

Minister of Diaspora, Nachman Shai, who will present the report to the government tomorrow, said that "hatred of Jews and conspiracy theories are spreading on social media like wildfire, and are spreading very fast to the surface." -20 The State of Israel was established to be a home for the Jewish people.

We must uproot and uproot the antisemitic discourse and fight it as an independent state, the nation state of the Jewish people, must do. "
