(Jewish Group) Anti-Semitic incidents in Argentina more than doubled in 2018 over the previous year
Anti-Semitic incidents in Argentina soared by 107 percent in 2018 over the previous year, according to a new report.
The 20th edition of the annual Anti-Semitism Report prepared by the research body of the DAIA Jewish political umbrella group showed that nearly 90 percent of the 834 complaints filed dealt with incidents that occurred online, on social networks or on news websites.
“We are losing the cultural battle against hate speech,” DAIA President Jorge Knoblovits said in presenting the figures on Wednesday. “Our efforts are not enough; the increase is fierce.”
Knoblovits also said that the situation has become worse in 2019, with not only online but also physical attacks, including the assault of a rabbi in Rosario in June.
