Summary of Events Over Last Week:

The United States and Israel launched a joint military operation this week targeting the Tehran regime, the world's largest exporter of terrorism and leading propagator of antisemitic hatred.

For decades, the regime, headed by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike at the start of operation, sowed violence and destruction across the globe. It invested billions of dollars in arming proxies and developing nuclear weapons while pursuing its openly-declared goal of annihilating the Jewish state.

"The era of impunity is now over," stated CAM CEO Sacha Roytman. "We hope a new era, of freedom in Iran and stability and peace across the Middle East, is just around the corner. We thank President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu for doing what must be done to make this a reality."

Radical Actors in West Rally Behind Tehran Regime

Since the outbreak of the Iran war, the Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) by CAM has documented dozens of incidents in which radical actors in the West have glorified the Tehran regime, incited violence against Israelis and Jews, or invoked antisemitic tropes to cast Israel or Jews as responsible for the conflict.

The ARC recorded a 34% increase in antisemitic incidents worldwide this week. Of the 154 incidents tallied by the ARC, 73 - nearly 50% - were motivated by the Iran war, involving perpetrators driven to act by support of the regime or conspiratorial hatred of Jews and Israel. Examples included:

  • Far-right media personality Candace Owens accused Israel of orchestrating "false flag" attacks to drag the United States into war with Iran, while Tucker Carlson blamed the Chabad movement.
  • In Washington, D.C., a graphic public display depicted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump eating the organs of children.
  • Several New York City-based far-left groups released a statement praising Iran's attacks against "Zionist forces and settlers."
  • Demonstrators in London, England, flew flags of the Islamic Republic and chanted "Burn, burn Tel Aviv."
    A gunman wearing clothing displaying the words "Property of Allah" and an Iranian flag design opened fire at a bar in Austin, Texas, killing three people. The suspect, who was shot dead at the scene by police, had a history of antisemitic social media posts.

Other antisemitic incidents monitored by the ARC this week included:

  • United Kingdom: An anti-Israel activist defaced a statue of Winston Churchill in London’s Parliament Square with graffiti reading, "Globalize the Intifada" and "Zionist war criminal."
  • Canada: Gunfire struck a Temple Emanu-El in Toronto’s North York district shortly after a Purim celebration concluded.
  • France: A pig's head and a poster with a Star of David and antisemitic slur drawn on it were left outside the home of Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi, whose wife is Jewish.
