Antisemitic violence resurfacing correlated with Middle East events since the 1990s

Evidence

The emergence of this debate in Jewish communities followed the intensification of antisemitic violence that resurfaced in the past two and a half decades and appeared to correlate with events in the Middle East. As Matti Bunzl has discussed at length in his seminal essay on the topic, some commentators in the Jewish constituencies have called attention to those cases of antisemitic violence where the perpetrators are Muslims. — James Renton, Ben Gidley (eds.), Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe, 1718

Categorization

• QUESTION: Worth chasing: does the claimed correlation hold up, and how is it contested within the ‘new antisemitism’ debate?
• XREF: Connects to Matti Bunzl’s essay on the ‘new antisemitism’ and to the wider scholarly debate about whether antisemitic incidents are genuinely linked to Israeli policy vs. long-standing prejudice.
