Think again.
The ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war started at the end of November 2025. In the two full months since then – December 2025 and January 2026 – antisemitism has not disappeared.
In many places, it has actually gotten much worse.
Outside Israel, New York City is home to the largest Jewish population in the world. In the month of January – after an Intifada-promoting mayor was elected there – antisemitic incidents exploded by 182% over the previous January, with an antisemitic crime taking place in the city every single day.
Last week, UNESCO found that antisemitic incidents happened in 78% of classrooms found in 23 European Union countries – from Holocaust denial to physical attacks on Jewish kids.
In Canada, post-ceasefire, manifestations of Jew-hatred – including harassment, intimidation and planned terrorist plots – remain at a record high. Post-ceasefire, three Toronto men were charged with 79 different alleged offences including kidnapping, hostage-taking, impersonating police and weapons charges.
