Israel-Gaza War, Antisemitism, United States

Antisemitism escalates in the US: a grenade was found near a synagogue in Lakewood. Bomb squad officers determined it to be a dud and not a danger to congregants.

A grenade was reported to be taped to a utility pole near a synagogue in Lakewood, New Jersey. Bomb squad officers who arrived on the scene determined it to be a non-explosive device and thus not a danger to congregants.

Since the outbreak of the war, antisemitism has been increasing throughout the world. Near Los Angeles, pro-Israel protestor Paul Kessler got into a dispute with a pro-Palestinian protestor, who struck him in the head with a megaphone, knocking him down to the ground. Kessler later died from his injuries.

In addition, a worrying report was published showing an increase of 500% in antisemitic incidents since the beginning of the war, according to sources in the World Zionist Organization, the Diaspora Ministry, and the Jewish Agency.

The data published shows that it’s not just modern antisemitism and calls for the destruction of Israel but also calls to harm Jewish communities around the world due to the war. For instance, during the last two weekends, the ISIS terrorist organization called for attacking Jewish presence anywhere in the world, including military aid to “Palestine” by attacking Jewish neighborhoods in the US, Europe, and elsewhere, attacks on Jewish and “Crusader” embassies via arson and vandalism, attacks on synagogues everywhere, attacks on “Jewish clubs” and murdering all who visit them, and attacking Jewish economic institutions around the world.
