Most Anti-Semitic Killings in 2018 Since WW II; Anti-Semitism Soars to Highest Level in Decades

An Israeli government report states that the number of Jews murdered in anti-Semitic attacks around the world in 2018 reached its highest level in decades after a mass shooting at a U.S. synagogue, the AFP (Agence France-Presse) website reports today (May 2, 2019).

A total of 13 Jews were killed in three separate attacks over the year, according to the 2018 Global anti-Semitism Report released on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

A gunman shot dead 11 people at a synagogue in the U.S. city of Pittsburgh in October in America's deadliest anti-Semitic attack ever.

In January, a student was also murdered in California, and in March 85-year-old Holocaust survivor Mirielle Knoll was killed in a brutal attack at her Paris home.
