SPCJ, France's society to protect Jews, issued a report on the massive increase in antisemitism in that country after October 7.

The total number of antisemitic incidents nearly quadrupled from 2022 to 2023:



But most of that increase came in October and November.



That is an 1,100% increase in antisemitic acts between September and October.

In fact, there were five days where the number of antisemitic incidents were higher than the entire month of February.

372 of the post-October 7 antisemitic acts in France mentioned "Palestine." Of those:

• more than 33% also advocate jihadism
• more than 25% also called for murder
• more than 10% also advocate Nazism

The increase in antisemitic acts was most pronounced in schools, where antisemitic incidents soared by over 1,600% between September and October. In November, there were 31 incidents advocating Nazism in French schools.

The antisemitism did not begin as a response to Israel's actions in Gaza. They began on October 7 itself, as soon as the slaughter of Jews was known. The SPCJ notes:

It should be noted that the outbreak of anti-Semitic acts in France began on October 7, the day of the surprise attack carried out by Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the PFLP. Thus, on the very day that images of the massacre of Israeli civilians were broadcast, antisemitic acts increased by more than 700% compared to the daily average observed from year to year.

This similar reaction had already been observed during the upsurge in antisemitic acts following the attack on the Jewish school in Toulouse in 2012 (an increase of almost 200%) and after the Hypercacher attack in 2015 (increase of almost 300%).

In light of these three events, a surprising and worrying phenomenon emerges: the media coverage of the massacre of Jews causes an increase in antisemitic acts.

Antisemitic acts are one of the best predictors of more antisemitic acts. Jew-haters see attacks by others as a green light for them to join in.

Antisemitic acts in France went up by 1,100% immediately after October 7

Only in paragraph 17 did the Times mention that the letter made no demands or even suggestions but only asked questions.

There is an unmistakable subliminal message in the NYT article, and it is that rich Jews are trying to subvert academic freedom.

The article ties Rowan's letter to the larger question of antisemitism on campus. Undoubtedly the letter is related to that issue, as Rowan was a major critic both of the infamous "Palestine Writes" conference at Penn last year and of former president Elizabeth Magill’s failure to address campus antisemitism. There is nothing wrong with looking at the issue of antisemitism on campus and seeking root causes.

Yet the NYT does not look at this through that prism.

Instead, the link between the letter and the uproar over campus antisemitism is framed more as a bunch of shady Jewish billionaires trying to impose their conservative ideas on faculty from the outside.

Major Egyptian cleric: Jews are enemies of civilization​

Sheikh Khaled Al-Jundi, who is a major figure in Egypt and a member of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, was interviewed on Egypt's DMC satellite channel on Wednesday in the program “May They Understand, " about a favorite topic in the Arab world: Jews.

DMC is widely believed to be controlled by the Egyptian military.

During the interview, which was widely cited in major Egyptian media, Al-Jindi said that the Jews pretend they are oppressed and victims, even though they are killers of children, women, and the elderly, and enemies of civilization.

He added that Jews are raised on treachery and betrayal. Lying and falsifying facts are part of the nature of the Children of Israel, according to Al-jundi.

El Balad expanded on the theme, appending to their article about the interview an expanded description of the evil of Jews by Dr. Muhammad Sayyid Tantawi, the late Sheikh of Al-Azhar. He listed a catalog of terrible attributes of Jews all mentioned in the Quran, including disbelief, ingratitude, selfishness, arrogance, cowardice, lying, deceit, disobedience, transgression, cruelty, perversion of character, hastening into sin and transgression, and consuming people’s wealth unjustly.

As I've been cataloging, this sort of thing is published every day in Arabic media. It is pure hate and incitement.

But hey - they aren't antisemitic. They must be really talking about "Zionists."

Last week,

Gulf CSR screenshot

I reported that Independent Arabia, the Arabic version of the British Independent, published an article with the headline "Jewish pressure groups and their influence on global decision-making." It included a large excerpt of a study by the Arab Gulf Center for Studies and Research, "The hidden Jewish empire and the plan to control the world," which is filled with antisemitism and lies.


The author of the Indy Arabia article is a Lebanese writer named Sawsan Mhanna. The antisemitic part of the article was its main point - she quoted it extensively in her tweet promoting the article, including its bogus statistic that Jews have double or triple the wealth of all Arab countries combined.

The article also claimed that Judaism isn't even a religion, but a secretive organization like the Masons or Templars that illicitly plan to take over the world.

After reading my post, Adam Levick of CAMERA-UK complained about this article to the managing editor of the British Independent.

Commendably, he removed the bulk of the article that quoted the Gulf CSR study and changed the antisemitic headline.

Hopefully this will prompt Independent Arabia to be more discerning in what it publishes.

Elder (and CAMERA-UK) gets results! Independent Arabia removes antisemitism from article

With the spring semester underway, colleges around the U.S. are rewriting free speech policies and reiterating limits on protests. The new rules come in response to conflicts and allegations of bias that rocked campus life last fall in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks on Israel.

Some of the new rules regulate signage in such a way as to prohibit posters with pictures of hostages held by Hamas. New rules at American University in Washington, D.C., for example, prohibit posting flyers on university property unless those flyers provide details about events organized by student clubs or university-affiliated organizations.

Under that policy, “kidnapped” flyers could only be posted if “a university organization hosted an event with a speaker about the hostages,” AU spokesperson Matthew Bennett said. The poster would also have to include information about the sponsoring group and details on attending the event.

Those “kidnapped” flyers sparked numerous confrontations between supporters of Israel who put them up and pro-Palestinian individuals who often tore them down. In some cases, people removing the posters were videotaped and their identities were disclosed on social media by pro-Israel groups.

Antisemitism on campus: The big picture​

Demonstrations, vandalism and threats have disrupted many colleges in the aftermath of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks and Israel’s war in Gaza. Jewish students have filed lawsuits alleging antisemitism at Rutgers, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and other schools. Some Jewish students have transferred out of schools like Occidental Collegewhere they said they felt unsafe.


The U.S. Department of Education is investigating numerous reports of antisemitism, as well as Islamophobia, under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination in institutions that receive federal funding.

“If free speech impedes another individual’s ability to learn, it’s a violation of that right to equal access,” said Lynn Pasquerella, president of the American Association of Colleges and Universities. “At what point does one person’s free speech violate another student’s right or faculty member’s right to free thought, free speech, or academic freedom?”

American University’s new guidelines were issued a week after a group of Jewish students accused the school of failing to protect them from antisemitic harassment and vandalism. The new policies, designed to “counter antisemitism and promote civil discourse,” also prohibit protests inside university buildings and require student clubs, events and posters to “promote inclusivity” and “be welcoming to all students.”

For over 50 years, the American left has tried rebranding the Palestinian cause by camouflaging Palestinian terrorism with the slogans of America’s civil rights movement. Today, a new generation of would-be radicals has stumbled onto this zombie corpse of ahistoric sloganeering with the confident excitement of college freshmen on their first beer run.
Using pseudo-intellectual jargon like “intersectionality,” multiple identity groups and astroturfed leftist political organizations have made fealty to the Palestinian cause a litmus test for belonging to the wider left. That is why many progressives were “exhilarated” by Hamas’ massacre of innocent people, and feminists remained silent about the Gazans’ mass rape of Israeli women. The artificiality, or often absurdity, of the supposed “intersection” between Palestine and the fashionable cause of the moment matters not at all. Hence, Palestine is a queer issue, as much as it is a feminist issue, and a social justice issue. The common thread remains supposed shared oppression—regardless of how homophobic, sexist or dictatorial Palestinian society might be.
But most group identities, no matter how politically fashionable, lack the social, cultural, and political heft to integrate the Palestinians into the new hierarchy of American victim groups and protected minorities. In America, only race has that valence. That is why other identity groups keep trying to graft their victimhood onto the story of the Black civil rights movement to cement their legitimacy.
The Palestinian cause has gained a seat in the progressive sectarian tent by piggybacking off the historical experience of American Blacks. Especially since 2020, Palestine has become thoroughly incorporated into Black Lives Matter sloganeering and visual aesthetics. As a result, an Arab nationalist movement fighting a battle 6,000 miles away from America’s Atlantic coast has become a central component of America’s “anti-racist struggle,” regardless of its lack of even the slightest connection to the historical reality of race-based discrimination in America, or to the values of the American civil rights movement.
The differences between the Palestinian national movement and the American civil rights movement are obvious and fundamental. Palestinians have played no role in American history or the history of slavery. Palestinians played no role in the civil rights struggle. The Palestinian-Israeli clash, which is occurring a world away from America, is national not racial. Most Israelis are dark-skinned, while some Palestinians are light-skinned. Nonviolence fueled the civil rights struggle, while the Palestinian movement keeps perfecting new forms of political violence and terror-porn, from hijacking to suicide bombing.
As this brief history suggests, the identification of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with America’s race problem was hardly made in America. It is a recent foreign import. Long before the “globalization of the intifada,” Soviet communist propagandists “internationalized” the Palestinian “struggle.” In the mid-1960s, under Soviet patronage, Palestine became a global cause for the international left, earning a privileged spot in the constellation of Soviet-backed Third World anti-colonial and anti-imperial “liberation” movements through their use of terror. Today’s movement toward the “Palestinianization” of the Black struggle in America therefore mirrors Soviet propaganda efforts that are now more than half a century old—30 years after Soviet communism imploded. Today’s campus commissars and progressive fanatics use very similar methods toward similar aims. If one wants to understand current rhetorical political alignments, understanding that history is therefore crucial.
As the late Palestinian academic, and member of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s (PLO) Palestinian National Council, Edward Said, put it in The Question of Palestine (1979), the Palestinian movement moved to situate “their struggle in the same framework that includes Vietnam, Algeria, Cuba, and black Africa,” joining “the universal political struggle against colonialism and imperialism.”
The turn toward worldwide anti-colonial revolution and “Third World solidarity” pivoted Palestinian rhetoric around race. As Said explained, “The Zionist settler in Palestine was transformed retrospectively and actually from an implacably silent master into an analogue of white settlers in Africa.”
