I wonder why ?

Growing Antisemitism in Western Europe,
heyday in Hungary
30th of March 2023
Executive summary:
The largest Jewish community in the EU lives in France, followed by Hungary. The subjective
and the objective measures regarding the safety and wellbeing of the Jewish community
show very different trends in these two countries. Antisemitism is increasing in countries with
a relatively small Jewish population. Perceptions of antisemitic feelings point out that
individuals from France, Belgium, Sweden and Germany are particularly concerned about the
increasing animosity. In France, Sweden and Germany the number of antisemitic incidents
show an increasing trend, while in Hungary it has been decreasing in the past years. Most
cases of antisemitic incidents are linked to extremist Muslims or left-wing political views. Not
surprisingly, most individuals who chose to emigrate to Israel are from France, while the
smallest immigrant community stems from Hungary.
Hungary and the Hungarian government have been accused of antisemitism for several
years now, mostly by the press1 and in the so called Sargentini Report.
2 However, the
latest infamous accusation was made by the US Ambassador to the United Nations, when
she mistakenly stated that “a Holocaust memorial was vandalised in Hungary” and built a
case rightly condemning countries where “hatred is fuelled not only by extremist groups,
but also by mainstream political leaders, popular celebrities and people in positions of
power.
3 The incident, in fact, took place in another European country, thousands of miles
away from Hungary – in Sweden, where the Raoul Wallenberg memorial was defaced in
Stockholm. Still, official apologies were not offered to Hungary.
