    Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said France “must wake up” in the wake of the incident, the latest in a series targeting the country’s Jewish community.

    The number of antisemitic incidents in France has risen since the 7 October 2023 Hamas-led incursion into southern Israel that sparked the current war in Gaza.

    To state the obvious, this article seems entirely content to take the Israeli government’s line and accept the conflation of this act - clearly focused on Netanyahu genocidal policies in Gaza - with antisemitism in general. I would imagine that the great majority of the apparent rise in ‘antisemitic incidents’ noted here falls into the same category.
