A 101-year-old Holocaust survivor, Walter Bingham, has warned that the current rise in antisemitism is reminiscent of the atmosphere in Nazi Germany in 1938, on the 87th anniversary of Kristallnacht. Bingham, who was 14 during the 'Night of Broken Glass', stated that the current climate against Jews is alarmingly similar to the past, with synagogues being burned and people attacked in the streets. However, he noted that the existence of a strong State of Israel today is a significant distinction from the past, as it provides a safeguard against a potential Holocaust. The article highlights various recent incidents of antisemitism around the world, including a deadly terrorist attack on a synagogue in Manchester and an arson attack on a synagogue in Melbourne, Australia. The Anti-Defamation League reported a 5% increase in antisemitic incidents in the US in 2024 compared to the previous year.

A pro-Israel event at Toronto Metropolitan University in Toronto, Canada was violently disrupted by anti-Israel agitators on November 5, 2025. The event, organized by the student group Students Supporting Israel, featured Israeli military veterans and was moved off campus for safety reasons. About 40 masked protesters forced their way into the private venue, breaking glass and attacking participants. One speaker, Jonathan Karten, was injured, and five people were arrested. The attack occurred days after Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow faced criticism for describing 'the genocide in Gaza,' a remark that Jewish groups warned could inflame tensions. Karten stated that the protesters seemed to know the location in advance and that he intends to continue speaking on campuses to ensure Jewish and Israeli voices are heard.

Stefanik vowed to tackle antisemitism as governor and claimed Hochul's endorsement of Mamdani put Jewish New Yorkers at risk.
