Today's shameful decision from the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant marks the first time democratically elected leaders have ever been subject to arrest warrants from the court. Surely, it is not a coincidence that the two leaders happen to be from Israel, the world's only Jewish state. We urge the ICC to end its double standards against Israel as its military fights an existential, multi-front war against terrorism.
Underscoring the danger of far-right antisemitism, a group of masked neo-Nazis waving swastika flags marched through the streets of downtown Columbus, Ohio. In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, stickers depicting far-right antisemitic imagery were plastered in the heavily Jewish neighborhood of Squirrel Hill, where a white supremacist terrorist massacred 11 worshipers at the Tree of Life synagogue in 2018.
Threats from the Tehran regime persist as well. In Canada, it was reported this week that law enforcement authorities recently thwarted an Iran-orchestrated assassination plot against renowned human rights lawyer and Jewish advocate Irwin Cotler, who serves on CAM's advisory board.
Furthermore, 91 of 121 incidents documented in this week's Global Antisemitism Report were linked to far-left ideology, comprising 75.2% of incidents.
Each of these incidents and trends underscores the commonality of antisemitism in extremist ideologies across the globe. As Arno Michaelis, a reformed neo-Nazi who now works as an anti-hate interventionist, pointed out this week, Islamist and white nationalist radicals are linked by a desire to murder Jews.
