This past year marked a distinct shift in the level of anti-Semitism around the world, and especially in Europe, according to the annual report on Anti-Semitism presented to the Israeli cabinet today by the Minister for Jerusalem and Diaspora Affairs, Naftali Bennett.
The report shows that radical Islam was the driving force behind anti-Semitism throughout Europe in 2014, especially over the summer, during Operation Protective Edge, where there was a 400 percent rise in anti-Semitic incidents than from the same period a year before.

Old Meets New
“The old anti-Semitism, spouting the familiar stereotype of a global Jewish conspiracy, is being increasingly coupled with the campaign to de-legitimise Israel,” said Bennett of the results of the report.
“It is radical Islam which is acting as the bridge for these two racist beliefs. They’ll use any perverted excuse to further their goal,” Bennett told his cabinet colleagues Sunday, which is, he said, “the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people”.
According to the report, anti-Semitic organisations were much more openly active throughout 2014.
“Today, anti-Semites don’t need to hide, they
can openly ‘sell their wares’ disguised as
legitimate criticism’ towards Israel”
-BENNETT
“Today, anti-Semites don’t need to hide, they can openly ‘sell their wares’ (in the public sphere) disguised as ‘legitimate criticism’ towards Israel” says the report.
France was marked as the most dangerous country for Jews today. Besides the slaughter of four Jews at the Kosher supermarket earlier this month, the number of anti-Semitic incidents doubled in 2014 as compared to 2013.
1,000 violent incidents
Last year nearly 1000 anti-Semitic incidents were reported including assaults, many categorized as “extremely violent” as well as attacks on shuls and other Jewish institutes.

The report also notes major increases in anti-Semitic incidents in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, the U.K. and the former Soviet Union as well as increased anti-Israel activities on college campuses across the United States.

‘Unfortunately anti-semitism is around and will always exist !
Is it jealousy ?
No-one knows !
I suppose as long as there is a Jewish nation and Israel ; anti-semitism will always exist .
A sad reality !
Not sure what the answer is .’
