With antisemitism rising across the globe, from assaults to graffiti, a new analysis finds the political motivation of perpetrators skews decisively to the left, with extreme progressives far more likely to commit such attacks as compared to Islamists or far-right activists like neo-Nazis.
The new findings come as the Democratic National Committee braces for potential unrest from anti-Israel protesters at its nominating convention next week in Chicago just days after presumptive nominee Kamala Harris was confronted at a New York fundraiser by a protest that required some arrests.
The weekly Global Antisemitism Report published by the Combat Antisemitism Movement analyzed 113 incidents that targeted Jewish victims worldwide and found that 57.5% of the perpetrators were identified as far leftists, 22.1% of them were Islamists, 11.5% were unknown and 8.9% were done by far-right extremists.
You can see the breakdown here.
One of the incidents documented was a man yelling "Free Palestine" while stabbing a Jewish man who was leaving Shabbat services. The attacker fled and the Jewish man was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
Another incident reported was neo-Nazi and white supremacist graffiti painted on school property in Connecticut, twice in three weeks.
The report showed that 73 of the antisemitic attacks were anti-Zionism attacks, 21 of the attacks were labeled as "classic antisemitism," 10 were done by Islamists and four were unattributable.
Antisemitism has been making headlines over the past few months as anti-Israel protests have been springing up all over college campuses.
These protests began after the Oct. 7 attack where the terrorist group Hamas attacked Israel and killed 1,200 people. Israel declared war on Hamas and the war has been ongoing since.

territory & timeframe?
My lying eyes tell me that lefties and Islamists have been working side-by-side throughout all of this. At all of these disruptions, you see many people wearing that distinctive Palestinian head scarf.
To finish my thought, when you see close-up photos of the demonstrators you see many people of mid-Eastern descent. But even if “only” 22% of those involved are Islamists, isn’t that far higher than their percentage of the population?
I watched a CNN report where some lady said that although a lot of antisemitism is being displayed by leftists on university campuses after Oct 7, most of it comes from the right. Got any examples of that missy?
> Majority of antisemitic incidents committed by leftists, not Islamists or neo-Nazis … <
It’s a bit of a side point, but Islamists and Nazis ARE leftists.
Folks on the right believe in personal freedom. That’s a core principle.
Folks on the left believe that the government’s wishes take precedence over individual rights. Big Brother knows best.
So, yeah. Islamists and Nazis are leftists.
Leftist ARE Neo-Nazis.
In fact forget the Neo. They are just Nazis.
I'm shocked to find out that Nazi are Leftists.
Really, ... Shocked...
I'm also Shocked that Islamic Terrorists have such really good media cover.
Really, ... Shocked...
The left seems to consist of power hungry politicians, and angry children who want to throw temper tantrums.
“Another incident reported was neo-Nazi and white supremacist graffiti...”
Courtesy of FBI agent provocateurs, same crew behind Jan 6. Very busy on behalf of democrats these days. Paid handsomely too.
Nazis/Fascists are far Left, not far Right.
Funny but most of the time it seemed to me whenever there was video of the protests that was a Muslim woman, or at least a woman with a Muslim hajib, and megaphone urging the crowd on.
Because the Left has never been a friend of the Jews. Or any other ethnic group, for that matter. The only thing the Left cares about is obtaining, maintaining and growing its power, and it doesn’t give a damn who it throws under the bus or shoots in the back of the head to accomplish those goals. Right now, they are friendly with the Moslems, because they view it in their interest to do so, but when they view it differently, the Moslems will also be thrown under the bus also. That will be a wonderful conflict to observe - and it will be so enjoyable that it will be hard to decide which side to root for (both, of course).
“Nazis/Fascists are far Left, not far Right.”

No, the entire left/right dichotomy is way too simplistic, and it is just what the divide and conquer elites would like you to believe.
The reality of politics, not just in this country but around the world, is that people can be divided into two camps. The first is the Collectivists. This consists of what we now conceive of as the left side of the political spectrum, the progressives, socialists and communists of all stripes and varieties. It also includes much of what is commonly (and incorrectly) considered to be the right side of the political spectrum, specifically Fascists and Nazis, again of all stripes and varieties. The one thing that these groups all have in common, regardless of the language they speak, the uniform they wear, the flag they fly, or the jargon that they use, is the very simple fact that they do not believe at all in individual liberties. To each and every one of these groups, individual rights are a completely alien concept, as the state, or the people, or whatever group they want to claim to represent is everything, and the individual is nothing. These are the kind of people that massacre their fellow human beings by the tens of millions - just look at the 20th century for evidence of that. The second an opposing group is those interested in individual liberty. This is embodied in the ideals of the American Revolution and in our foundational documents. For this group of people, the government of any political entity exists to maintain the minimum amount of order necessary for human beings to interact with each other in a fair and reasonable manner, and to protect the right of each and every individual to make their own choices in life, provided that they don’t directly impinge on the right of other people to make their choices. Individual rights are paramount, they are the very goal , not just something to which lip service is paid to obtain political advantage.
I am as guilty as most of being trapped in the left/right political dichotomy, but we all have to try to break out of it and call things for what they actually are. They real fight in human history since the French Revolution has been between the Collectivists and the Individualists. For me, the choice is clear, especially given the fact that the history of the last 235 years has been one of unmitigated failure and nearly unlimited human misery inflicted by the Collectivists on humanity.
A stupid lefty relative kept blabbing on about the danger of American Nazis at lunch the other day.
He has never seen one!
Neo-Nazis are not “far right” they are in fact, unionist labor losers who are in reality LEFTISTS. Jew haters, Catholic haters, clowns who are LEFT. And surprised to find themselves in the company of AntiFA Communists in a common Leftist bent.
Nazism existed in Germany under the umbrella of socialism. When it comes to America, it will be in a different form, but will still sell itself as a brand of socialism. Someone expecting to see the same old recognizable, goose-stepping Nazis isn’t being vigilant, he’s being stupid.
And are we to believe that these categories are completely disjoint? Is this a "study" to get the Muslim psycopaths off the hook for their Koran induced racism?
The Muslims will win and conquer all.
The Left is probably using them as enforcers to impose their will on the native population.
But eventually, the natives will get replaced. And that includes the Leftists. So they have no choice. They have to convert to Islam.
