When Israel comes into the picture In the midst of the constant war against Hamas, anti -Semitism has risen around the world. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said it registered more than 10,000 anti-Semitic incidents in the US between 7, 2023 and 6 October 2024.
In the aftermath of the deadliest day for the Jewish people Since the HolocaustProtests broke out on university campuses and in the streets of major cities. In fact, on 8 October 2023 – just one day after the massacre and before the retribution of Israel – a crowd gathered on Times Square to celebrate the attackers and to condemn the victims.

“” The same deadly anti -Semitism that the atrocities raised, the war crimes, the crimes against humanity that was paved on 7 October is the anti -Semitism that break the answers to the atrocity of the atrocities, to the war crimes, to the crimes against humanity digital crimes digital.
Cotler-Wunsh warns that there is a “worldwide tsunami” of anti-Semitism, and anti-Zionism is a “new tribe” of “an always mutual deadly virus”.
“If we follow these moments when we saw this incomprehensible recoil, we could follow the performance (de) point-blank version of six of the hostages kept in captivity, of course, the American-Israeli Hersh Goldberg polin,” Cotler-Wunsh told Fox News Digital.

“And the concept that in response to that point-blank execution, instead of seeing indignation on the street-also in New York City what we saw, was support for Hamas, the Beulen, if you want. Hamas, a genocidal terror organization that has been designated as such by the United States of America.”
While anti-Semitism increases before October 7, the attacks ‘many, many masks’, said Cotler-Wunsh. However, she emphasizes that this is not just a problem for Jewish people; This is a warning shot for humanity.
“What we have systematically seen in this standardization historically over time Is that anti -SemitismWhen it comes to this state of normalized mainstream deadly hatred, simply predicts what a major threat is for freedom, humanity and the dignity of difference. “
When he spoke about the protests that were seen at universities throughout America, Cotler-Wunsh pointed to the examples of professors who praised or trivialized the attacks of 7 October, including Cornell professor Russell Rickford, who described the massacre as “exciting”. She believes that schools must consistently start applying policy and combating systemic violations of that policy, such as the anti-Israeli demonstrations that are seen on so many campuses.
“No rule that is not applied equally and consistently is worth the newspaper that it is written,” Cotler-Wunsh told Fox News Digital.

However, Cotler-Wunsh says that maintaining rules is only the first step. She believes that institutions around the world, not just universities, must take over the definition of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) from anti -Semitism.
The IHRA definition states: “Anti-Semitism is a certain perception of Jews, which can be expressed as hatred of Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are aimed at Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, towards Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
Although criticizing Israel is not necessarily an anti -Semitic act, even under the definition of the IHRA, “the existence of a state of Israel is a racist company” according to the standards of the IHRA is considered anti -Semitic.
Countries and institutions around the world, such as the US and the United Nations, have taken over the definition of the IHRA anti -Semitism. The Combat Anti -Semitism Movement says that on 1 February 2025 1,266 entities adopted the definition, including national and local authorities, as well as international organizations.
