CAM weekly antisemitism report – antisemitism on the march across the globe, with record rises

For the second time in six days, pro-terror demonstrators besieged a New York City synagogue on Monday in an attempt to shut down an Israeli real estate expo.

Protesters affiliated with Pal-Awda NY/NJ surrounded Young Israel of Midwood chanting “Brick by brick, wall by wall, Zionism will fall” and “There is only one solution: Intifada, Revolution.” Hezbollah flags and a Hamas symbol were seen in the crowd, and a young Jewish woman was physically assaulted.
