On college campuses around the world, 53 acts of antisemitism were recorded by the Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) by CAM in September, nearly triple August’s total.
As of the end of September, the ARC had tallied 5,116 incidents of antisemitism globally in 2025, a 7.4% rise from the first nine months of 2024.

Israeli Fans Banned From Aston Villa Match in UK
The decision by local authorities to forbid Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending a Nov. 6 match against Aston Villa in Birmingham, England, drew criticism from Jewish groups in the UK and across the globe, including CAM, which demanded an investigation into whether the ban ran afoul of U.S. anti-boycott laws.
Also in the UK this week, it was reported a Jewish lawyer had been detained for nearly 10 hours after police claimed his Star of David necklace could have "antagonized" anti-Israel demonstrators at a London protest in August. CAM called the police’s mistreatment of the lawyer "a new low, even for the UK."
Antisemitic Violence and Harassment Continue
The post-October 7th global wave of antisemitism shows no sign of abating, even following the ceasefire in Gaza. Prominent incidents documented by the ARC this week included:
- France: A 13-year-old boy in Les Lilas, a Paris suburb, was beaten inside his apartment building after being called a "dirty Jew" by a group of peers.
- United Kingdom: Masked demonstrators stormed a classroom at City University of London and threatened an Israeli-born professor.
- Argentina: A player shouted "Jews must be killed" at an opponent from the Jewish sports club Hebraica during a soccer match in Vicente López, a Buenos Aires suburb.
- United States: Activists held a vigil in the Bronx, New York, honoring former Hamas leader and October 7th mastermind Yahya Sinwar on the first anniversary of his death.
