Security threatened The Mosaic Faith Society (DMT) reported an increase in threatening incidents. In a press release at the end of October, they described how Jewish families in Norway do not feel safe in their own homes. Jews have had pram wheels cut open, been woken up at night by someone trying to tear open the door, and been threatened at school, according to DMT. – The basic security we should all feel in our own homes is threatened as a result of such attacks, writes the religious community, which says they cannot remember such an effect of the change of words “in this generation”.

Anti-Semitism is increasing in Europe In several places in Europe, anti-Semitism has increased in the last month, writes NTB. Synagogues are attacked, stars of David are tagged on walls, and Jews are hit by threats and violence. The German organization Rias, which monitors anti-Semitism in Germany, reported 202 anti-Semitic incidents in the first week after Hamas’ attack on Israel on 7 October. This is an increase of 240 per cent compared to the same period last year. On Sunday night, a young Jewish woman was stabbed in the stomach outside the front door of her apartment in the French city of Lyon, French police say. The woman was sent to hospital with minor injuries. A police spokesman further says that a swastika was scratched on the door of the woman’s apartment.
