Report notes 400% rise in anti-Semitic incidents during Gaza war
France noted as 'most dangerous country for Jews' after 100% rise in anti-Semitic attacks in the country; WZO poll finds 55% of Diaspora Jews do not feel safe in their countries.
The cabinet will discuss Sunday a report pointing to a worrying rise in worldwide anti-Semitism in 2014, including a sharp increase in attacks against Jews.
According to the report, there was a 400 percent rise in anti-Semitic incidents during July and August 2014 - likely due to Operation Protective Edge - compared to the same time the previous year.
The report, authored by the Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Ministry in cooperation with the Coordination Forum for Countering anti-Semitism, found France to be "the most dangerous country for Jews today," after "the levels of anti-Semitism and violence against Jews there have reached new heights."
