ANTI-SEMITISM rose in the United States in 2022 and shows little sign of abating worldwide as political radicals have gained mainstream popularity, researchers said in a report released on Monday.

The report by Tel Aviv University’s Centre for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry and the US-based Anti-Defamation League (ADL) as Israel began observing its annual day of remembrance for the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust.

Last year’s report found that 2021 set a new high for anti-semitic incidents, with the coronavirus pandemic fuelling a worldwide rise in anti-semitism.
