Last year saw the most anti-Jewish incidents worldwide in a decade, according to “The Antisemitism Report for 2021” published on Monday by the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency.
In some places, such as New York City, for example, the number of anti-Semitic incidents doubled over 2020. In many others, among them the UK, Austria and Germany, antisemitic incidents reached new highs. And countries such as Australia and Canada presented surprising dramatic increases..
Interestingly, one major factor in the increase was Covid:
Ihe COVID-19 pandemic also had a lot to do with this severe increase in incidents. The old conspiracies about the Jews controlling the world in the economic sphere were rapidly ascribed to the pandemic, she pointed out.
The first anti-Semitic slogan that blamed Jews for the novel coronavirus came from the Arab world, Baratz-Rix said, in the form of “COVID48,” referring to 1948, the year when the State of Israel was founded. Then the tendency spread to Europe and the rest of the world.
According to the report, in 2020, with the beginning of the virus outbreak, a lot of antisemitism campaigns linking Jews to the coronavirus were seen in the digital sphere, but in 2021, these conspiracy theories reached the streets.
Another phenomenon that grew in strength last year was the trivialization of the Shoah, carried out to “diminish the dimensions of the Holocaust and its historical uniqueness and importance.”
Baratz-Rix said, “Opponents of vaccination from all over the world used symbols from the Holocaust to protest,” leading to the “trivialization of the Holocaust.” She added that the only solution for this is to pass laws against the use of Holocaust-related symbols out of context. “The only country that has such a law in Germany,” she said.

Europe accounted for 50% of the reported anti-Semitic incidents in 2021 Baratz-Rix attributed this to the high level of awareness of antisemitism among continent’Jews and the high rate of re, porting compared to other parts of the globe.
Baratz-Rix expressed concern about the hatred of Jews globally. “This year there were more than 10 anti-Semitic incidents around the world daily,” she said. “We do not see the end; every year there are more and more incidents.”

No rational person with more than half a brain looks at that and says "Ah yes! It's those swastika carrying white supremacist Democrat Biden supporters!". Anyone with more than half a brain see's those folk and rightly thinks "Ah yes! Right wing white nationalist and/or white supremacist conservative Trump supporters".
Is it any wonder that anti-Semitic sentiment would rise along with pro-Trump pro-white conservative Christian sentiment? No one should be surprised to see a rise in attacks against Jewish Americans mirror the rise in right wing white nationalist white supremacist activity.
Actually one of the parallels between the MAGA slogans and those of Nazi Germany was the theme of making the country great again.
As a result of Germany's actions in WWI, sanctions were imposed of Germany. So one of the themes Hitler was pushing was to end the (well deserved but perhaps excessive) punishment of Germany-- and to "Make Germany Great Again".
Interesting, eh?
The Nazi's were asking "What's wrong with German nationalism? What's wrong with wanting to protect white German Aryan heritage? What's wrong with fighting against these foreign immigrant invaders who are taking German jobs and marrying white Christian German Fräuleins? After the indignity of losing the great war 20 years ago, what's so wrong with wanting to 'Make Germany Great Again!'?".
It is rather shocking how many eerily accurate comparisons can be made to todays right wing white conservative Christians and the rise of their 'Dear Leader' the mango Mussolini.
