Feb. 29, 2024 Vile displays of antisemitism were monitored this week across American Universities. Protesters at McGill University's Bronfman Building in Montreal blockaded entrances, accusing the administration of supporting genocide and demanding divestment from Israel, prompting class cancellations. Jewish students at UC Berkeley were forced to evacuate a campus theater as protesters chanting "Intifada! Intifada!" broke a glass door and disrupted a scheduled lecture by an Israeli attorney and IDF reservist. Several students were injured.    In the UK a member of the Scottish National Party claimed that criticism of Jews should not be viewed as antisemitic while arguing that Israel’s military response to Hamas in Gaza should be characterized as “revenge.” In Germany, a man was physically and verbally assaulted in front of a synagogue in Munich as antisemitic slurs were repeated throughout the perpetrators' attack. Also this week, Brazilian President Lula da Silva doubled down on his comments comparing Israel to Nazis and the war in Gaza to the Holocaust.  2023 IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism Adoptions and Endorsements Report Now Available in Spanish This week's Global Antisemitism Report highlights 77 new incidents, categorized as follows: 5 (6.50%) as Holocaust minimization or distortion, 9 (11.69%) as classical antisemitism, 56 (72.72%) as anti-Israel or anti-Zionist manifestations of antisemitism, 4 (5.20%) as Islamist, and 3 (3.90%) as unattributable.
