Every day, more than ten anti-Semitic incidents are reported around the world, some of which come against the background of the Russia-Ukraine war - this is according to a report today (Tuesday) by the department for the fight against anti-Semitism in the World Zionist Organization.
The report, which is based on local and international reports, research bodies, local police, Jewish communities and more, shows a slowdown in the increase in the number of anti-Semitic incidents, for the first time in a decade - but the picture of the situation remains worrisome.
The report shows that the organizations boycotting Israel have a significant influence in spreading anti-Semitism around the world.
Most of the anti-Semitism incidents this year were characterized by propaganda and vandalism - 39% and 28%, respectively.
Propaganda cases increased by 15% from last year.
They are followed by anti-Semitic incidents of physical violence (14%), verbal (11%) and delegitimization;
