Antisemitism in France has increasingly targeted Jewish students, exposing them to more violent rhetoric and behavior since the outbreak of the Hamas-Israel war in October 2023, according to a new bombshell report.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of France (CRIF), the main representative body of French Jews, on Wednesday\u00a0released a major study<\/a>\u00a0on the scale of hatred and violence specifically targeting Jewish students in the country due to their religion or origin. The report, compiled jointly with the Jean-Jaur\u00e8s Foundation and French media company IFOP, is based on testimonies and interviews with Jewish male and female students educated across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

The study comes amid a rise in antisemitism in France following Hamas\u2019s massacre across southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. According to CRIF, the study\u2019s findings highlight how everyday antisemitism, through its presence in daily language, helps legitimize more violent rhetoric and behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the 2023-2024 school year, the Ministry of National Education recorded 1,670 antisemitic incidents, accounting for nearly half of the total 3,630 racist and antisemitic acts reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

This shows a 300 percent\u00a0increase in antisemitic incidents<\/a>\u00a0from the 2022-2023 school year, with 400 antisemitic acts out of 1,270 total racist and antisemitic incidents reported. The proportion of antisemitic acts has also grown from less than a third to nearly half of all recorded incidents.<\/span><\/p>\n
