“Neither the public nor the private space are perceived as safe for Jews, as was seen by the recent horrific and brutal murder of Mireille Knoll, who survived the Holocaust to be stabbed and burnt in her home. The general feeling shared by Jews, as individuals and as a community, is that antisemitism has entered a new phase, and is widespread in most parts of the world,” Kantor said.He also mentioned the antisemitism crisis surrounding the UK’s Labour Party.“Jeremy Corbyn’s ascendancy in the British Labour Party means that he is a possible future prime minister,” Kantor said. “His followers and supporters openly share on social media some of the most malevolent Holocaust denial and international Jewish banking conspiracies reminiscent of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, some of this is sometimes even condoned by Corbyn himself. It leads us to believe that this normalization of Jew-hatred has reached the highest levels.”While 2017 saw a worldwide decrease in violent antisemitic incidents of about 9%, some of the recent violent cases have been perpetrated more brutally, causing more harm. Moreover, the report said that this decrease is overshadowed by what is seen by the Jewish communities as a dramatic increase in all other forms of antisemitic manifestations, many of which are not even reported, most notably harassment in schools and on social media.A certain corrosion of Jewish communal life was observed, and according to the study, Jews believe that antisemitism has entered a new phase, with expressions of classic traditional antisemitism used increasingly.This corrosion was especially noticed in schools, when “some Jewish pupils moved to Catholic schools, where the fees are lower and there are no Muslims,” the report said.“If in previous years we saw different types of antisemitism – antisemitism of the far Right, antisemitism of the far Left, and an antisemitism masked as anti-Israel – now it has transformed more openly into classic antisemitism,” Kantor said. “There has been an increase in open, unashamed and explicit hatred directed against Jews. The Jew as exploiter, the Jew as killer, the Jew as banker. It is like we have regressed 100 years.”
