Since the HAMAS attack on Israel on October 7 and the ensuing war in Gaza, many countries have seen an unprecedented rise in reported antisemitic incidents. Dozens of research and policy reports have since been published, many of them aiming to count and map the extent of these antisemitic incidents.
