Far-Left Antisemitism Surged 324.8% Around the World in 2024, New Report Finds
(Algemeiner) David Swindle - Global antisemitism surged by a staggering 108 percent in 2024 compared to the prior year, fueled largely by far-left ideology, according to a new report. The Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), a coalition of hundreds of organizations that fight anti-Jewish bigotry around the world, has released its annual report of antisemitic incidents, identifying 6,326 total cases last year with the vast majority -- 4,329, or 68.4 percent -- fueled by far-left ideology, a reversal from the group's 2022 research in which the far right dominated and the 2023 findings which found a parity between the political spectrum's two extremes. "We are now facing the most severe wave of antisemitism since the end of the Second World War, a phenomenon that demands urgent global attention," the CAM report stated.
