Since October 7 and the Hamas attack in Israel, anti-Semitism has progressed and become commonplace in France, as shown in a report produced in particular for Ifop. Since October, 25% of French Jews say they have been victims of an anti-Semitic incident, insults or aggression. The figure rises to 37% for those under 25. Schools and universities are the primary places of exposure to anti-Semitic acts. For six out of ten victims, the insults, threats or physical violence took place in a school.
