New York City's new municipal strategy to combat antisemitism faces backlash for omitting a formal definition and failing to address anti-Zionism, while U.S. Special Envoy Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun clarifies the historical meaning of Zionism. Reports indicate a doubling of antisemitism and terrorism in the UK since October 7th, alongside serious pressures on Jewish students in Germany to conceal their identities. Institutional responses include bans on protests in Paris and actions against an MEP in the European Parliament, while an arrest is made in a Crown Heights antisemitic assault. Coverage also features ADL data on Maryland incidents and a study on intensified antisemitism concerns among British Jews. Featuring analysis of Zohran Mamdani, IHRA definition, Zionism, anti-Zionism, Belleville synagogue, Germany, Paris, MEP Rima Hassan, UK antisemitism, Crown Heights, ADL, and October 7th.
