Multiple recent news have reported rising anti-semitism (anti-Jewish anti-semitism; anti-semitism towards other semitic people like Palestinians/Arabs does not appear to show similar spike) in our NATO ally states Germany, UK and in Canada.
These headlines may also help put in context MAGA movement leader Donald Trump launched recent global campaign against anti-semitism.
Germany investigating claims of sexual assault, anti-Semitic remarks by soldiers at booze-fueled hotel party

German soldiers of the Enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) Battle Group await a visit by the German Defence Minister in Rukla, Lithuania, October 10, 2019. Monika Skolimowska/picture alliance/Getty Berlin — Germany's military is pulling an entire armored infantry unit out of Lithuania as it investigates claims of extremist, anti-Semitic remarks and a purported sexual assault at a booze-fueled hotel party. An official investigation was launched in Germany after allegations emerged of a raucous party by members of the unit on April 30 at a hotel in the central Lithuanian town of Rukla.
Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer announced last week that the entire infantry unit would be withdrawn. The 30 soldiers have been based in Lithuania as part of a NATO Enhanced Forward Presence mission — part of the transatlantic alliance's military posturing on Europe's far-eastern flank, close to the border with Russia.

Liberals convene antisemitism summit amid concerns over new MP's views on Israel
June 11, 2021
OTTAWA -- The Trudeau government announced Friday that it will convene an emergency summit on antisemitism, even as it faced criticism for welcoming into the Liberal fold an MP who has denounced Israel as an apartheid state.
The summit is to be led by former Liberal MP Irwin Cotler, currently Canada's special envoy on antisemitism.
The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs has been calling for an emergency summit, citing a "troubling rise of anti-Jewish bigotry" in Canada following the latest Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
On Twitter, Atwin argued that there are "no two sides to this conflict, only human rights abuses" by Israel.
"I stand with Palestine and condemn the unthinkable airstrikes in Gaza. End Apartheid!" she tweeted.
Canada committed $25 million in aid to Palestinian civilians following the recent conflict, which left at least 230 Palestinians dead -- including 65 children -- and killed 12 Israelis.

Alison Chabloz jailed for anti-Semitic radio show comments
7 April
A blogger has been jailed after making anti-Semitic comments on a radio show.
Derbyshire Police said Alison Chabloz made the remarks in May and July 2019 and shared the broadcasts on a blog while living in Glossop, Derbyshire.
Chabloz was found guilty of sending offensive messages by public network at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
This also breached the conditions for a previous suspended sentence, given after she was convicted of broadcasting anti-Semitic songs in 2018.
