Across Europe, antisemitism is rising at an alarming pace, fueled by political and religious extremism, online radicalization, and conspiracy narratives. From far-right movements to Islamist networks, extremist ideologies continue to spread hatred and violence against Jewish communities.
According to the Antisemitism Research Center (ARC), nearly half of recorded antisemitic incidents in Europe are linked to Islamist extremism. At the same time, growing concerns surround the influence of transnational Islamist movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood, whose ideological networks remain active across Europe despite increasing scrutiny in several European countries.
