Get that bullshit out of this thread. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cljj9x8lj2jo This doesn't seem to address the actual question about the disparity between the proclaimed increases - one up 20%~ and the other 300%~, which seems to have been @ZeroSuitBritney's question, likely because you have pro-Zionism users even in this thread already cite these inflated statistics to make the claim that Jewish people are *uniquely* hated more than any other ethnic minority in Europe and thus this somehow justifies the existence of Israel as an ethno-state. I'm trying to find how they define antisemitism, but in a report about antisemitism in higher education, the same commission is quoted here as saying it believes calling for the end to the Israeli state qualifies as a form of antisemitism and would be included in a tally of reports made by people who feel they were victims of discrimination: Quote The report says that when anti-Israel rhetoric "slips into a radical questioning of the very existence of the Israeli state" or when "support for the Palestinian cause turns into an apology for terrorism," such things constitute antisemitism. This also includes slogans used during campus occupations, such as "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," or calls for an intifada, as well as the use of the red hands symbol. https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/article-808169 So to answer your question, @ZeroSuitBritney it seems the "300%+" increase figure is indeed in part due to anti-Israel and pro-Palestine sentiments being considered antisemitic.
