Monitor anti-Semitic incidents 2020
CIDI recorded in 2020 135 anti-Semitic incidents in the Netherlands. This brings us back to the same level as the anti-Jewish incidents we registered in 2018. 2019 was a sad low point in the annual CIDI monitor in terms of the number of incidents measured, which appears for the 37th time this year.
Unfortunately, we saw the number of followers of conspiracy theories increase significantly in the past year, both on social media and beyond. It is not uncommon for Jews to be identified as the cause and / or stakeholder in the corona virus. It is good to see that the fight against anti-Semitism has entered the political agenda, both nationally and in some municipalities. There is still a lot of work to be done, but the path taken is hopeful.
