Anti-Semitic incidents rise in the Netherlands

The Netherlands in 2018 saw a major increase in recorded anti-Semitic incidents, which totaled a record 230 cases.

Of that tally, Dutch Jewry’s watchdog group The Center for Information and Documentation recorded last year 135 incidents that did not occur online, the group says in its annual report published today.

That number represents a 19 percent increase over the 113 real-life incidents reported in 2017.

However, violent incidents decreased to only one, down from five in 2017.
