During the first three months of 2024, 366 anti-Semitic acts were recorded in France, or four anti-Semitic acts per day. This figure is up 300% compared to the same period in 2023.
60% of anti-religious acts in France are anti-Semitic
“It is the anti-Semitic speech which is being released, which is being unbridled, it is violence, it is intimidation, it is letters of insults, insults, threats”, explains Gabriel Attal.
