The increased threat posed by jihadist groups dovetails with a huge increase in antisemitic incidents worldwide, especially in Europe.
It didn’t take long after the Hamas attack in Israel on Oct. 7 for terrorist groups to flood the internet with praise for the killings. The next step for entities such as Al Qaeda and Islamic State is to capitalize on raging antisemitism to fuel homegrown violent extremist attacks in the West, perpetrated by lone wolves and small cells of jihadist sympathizers. All cities and nations should be bracing for that.
The implications of an increased threat posed by jihadist groups dovetail with a huge increase in antisemitic incidents worldwide, especially in Europe. During the first two weeks of the conflict, there were 76 recorded in Austria and nearly 600 in France. Germany also had a huge spike — a 240% increase in the period after Oct. 7 compared with a year earlier. Police in London confirmed more than 218 antisemitic hate crimes between Oct. 1 and Oct. 18, more than 13 times as many as a year earlier.
