In the latest incident in an escalating pattern of antisemitic violence worldwide, two Jewish men were seriously wounded in a stabbing attack in the Golders Green neighborhood of London on Wednesday.
The stabbing, which police officially designated as a terrorist incident, came mere weeks after four Jewish ambulances were torched in the same area of London and amid an ongoing wave of fire bombings and acts of vandalism targeting Jewish sites across Europe.
CAM CEO Sacha Roytman urged strong action, warning, “If governments do not respond forcefully at every level, through policing, legislation, education, and the dismantling of incitement networks, this ‘hunting season’ against Jews will continue.”
In total, eight Jews were injured in antisemitic assaults across the globe in the last week.
Other incidents documented by the Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) by CAM this week included:
