A record 421 antisemitic incidents were documented in the Netherlands last year, marking an 11% rise over the previous all-time high, according to the Center for Information and Documentation on Israel (CIDI), a Dutch Jewish watchdog group.
CIDI describes the findings as evidence of “an antisemitism crisis, which requires crisis management measures.”
Antisemitic incidents have risen to record levels around the world since October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched its war against Israel.
The most significant incidents of the year followed a Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer match in Amsterdam last November, when hundreds of Israeli fans were targeted in a series of violent attacks throughout the city. Dozens of people were injured in the coordinated assault, and more than 60 were arrested.
CIDI urges the government to adopt a comprehensive strategy that includes stronger online enforcement, banning hate groups, and cutting support to institutions that discriminate against Jewish individuals.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
