TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli researchers reported Wednesday that violent attacks against Jews spiked significantly last year, with the largest reported number of Jews killed in anti-Semitic acts in decades, leading to an 'increasing sense of emergency' among Jewish communities worldwide.

1 / 3File - In this Sunday, Dec. 2, 2018 file photo, a menorah is installed outside the Tree of Life Synagogue in preparation for a celebration service at sundown on the first night of Hanukkah, in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh. A gunman shot and killed 11 people while they worshipped Saturday, Oct. 27, 2018 at the temple.

"There is an increasing sense of emergency among Jews in many countries around the world," said Moshe Kantor, president of the European Jewish Congress, an umbrella group representing Jewish communities across the continent. In addition to the shooting attacks, assaults and vandalism, Kantor also noted the increased anti-Semitic vitriol online and in newspapers, including a recent anti-Semitic cartoon that appeared in The New York Times' international edition. It depicted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a dog wearing a Star of David collar and leading a blind and skullcap-wearing President Donald Trump.

"Anti-Semitism has entered gradually into the public discourse," he said."Threats, harassments and insults have become more violent, inciting to even more physical violence against Jews. It feels like almost every taboo relating to Jews, Judaism and Jewish life has been broken."

Perspective | Netanyahu won’t condemn the real danger to U.S. Jews: White nationalismIsrael’s prime minister is quick to call out threats from Muslims, though. One foundation view making Netanyahu and Trump allies - and not in a good way. Yes, because Netanyahu isn't stupid or blind enough to buy into your narrative. The man knows who his allies are, and who they aren't. So does Trump. And you people just HATE that, don't you?

Anti-Semitic assaults tripled in 2018, says a new Anti-Defamation League reportTwice in the last six months, men bent on destroying Jews have entered synagogues and fired their guns. A new report from the Anti-Defamation League suggests that those killings are part of a wider increase in physical violence against Jewish people. I blame the anti-semitism of TheDemocrats. “While the nation was focused on a hoaxed hate crime, Brooklyn's Jews have been repeatedly and actually attacked. Are we not discussing it because most of the perpetrators are black?”
