Antisemitism was higher worldwide in 2023, even before October 7, report states

[Ynet] In the aftermath of the October 7 massacre committed in Israel by Hamas, the world has seen the worst wave of antisemitic incidents since the end of World War II, according to an annual global antisemitism report issued Sunday. But in the nine months of 2023 before October 7 during which there were no major upheavals, most countries with significant Jewish populations saw a rise in the number of antisemitic incidents compared to the same period in 2022, including the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, Brazil, The Netherlands and Mexico.

"This means that the war in Gaza helped spread a fire that was already out of control. And it was already out of control despite the significant efforts invested in recent years by governments on educational and legal initiatives aimed at reversing the trend," according to the Annual Antisemitism Worldwide Report, published by Tel Aviv University (TAU) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which was released on Sunday ahead of Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Yom Hashoah.

What we should teach on Yom Hashoah is what it wasn't the first time (not even the 21st) they tried*. And, most importantly, it's not the last.
*And every time they try and fail - they hate us more.

#1 Yom Hashoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day for us heathens.

Worth taking note of by civilized people because if, some particular "they", they would do it to them, they would to it to you and me if the mood arose. I was kind of hoping us humans had gotten all this monkey-brain stuff sorted in the last century, but such is not the case.

#2 sorted in the last century, but such is not the case.

Not the case indeed. Many are still mindset (if you wish to call it that) back in the 7th century and many more are hellbent on regressing to it.
