Det Jødiske Samfund har i 2024 registreret det højeste antal antisemitiske hændelser i Danmark nogensinde. AKVAH (Afdeling for Kortlægning og Videndeling af Antisemitiske Hændelser) har udgivet rapporter om antisemitisme i Danmark siden 2012, og den seneste rapport indeholder både flere hændelser og flere alvorlige hændelser end nogensinde før.

AKVAH har registreret i alt 207 hændelser, en stigning på 71 procent fra 2023. Der er desuden flere alvorlige hændelser, bl.a. et brandattentat mod en jødisk kvindes hjem i maj, et knivoverfald mod en jødisk dreng og syv andre tilfælde af vold, overfald og fysisk chikane mod jøder.

Terrorangrebet i Israel d. 7. oktober 2023, den efterfølgende krig i Gaza og den bredere konflikt i Mellemøsten dannede bagtæppe for størstedelen af de antisemitiske hændelser i 2024.

”Vi ser desværre, at tendensen til at holde jøder i Danmark kollektivt ansvarlige for konflikter langt væk fra Danmark, er fortsat fra 2023 til 2024. Det er naturligvis en uacceptabel, antisemitisk tendens uagtet, hvad man ellers mener om verdenssituationen,” siger Det Jødiske Samfunds næstformand, Jeppe Sevel-Lilholt.

Over halvdelen (63 procent) af de antisemitiske hændelser i 2024 var rettet mod borgere, institutioner eller organisationer, der tydeligt kunne identificeres som jødiske, og i en betydelig del af hændelserne, gik det ud over jødiske børn og unge.

”Det er en ulykkelig tendens, at den mest effektive måde at undgå antisemitisme er ved at skjule sin jødiske identitet. Det er ikke en løsning i et åbent, demokratisk samfund. Vi insisterer på, at de grundlæggende årsager skal bekæmpes med oplysning og information om jødisk liv og historie. Den forrige regerings handlingsplan mod antisemitisme, som har været en god begyndelse, udløber i 2025. Og det står klart, at der er behov for en god fortsættelse af dette arbejde fra næste år,” siger Jeppe Sevel-Lilholt.

Rise in Antisemitic Incidents in 2024: Several Serious Cases Reported

 

In 2024, the Jewish Community in Denmark has recorded the highest number of antisemitic incidents ever. AKVAH (the Department for Mapping and Registering Antisemitic Incidents) has published annual reports on antisemitism in Denmark since 2012, and the latest report reveals both a greater number of incidents and a higher proportion of serious cases than in any previous year.

 

AKVAH has documented a total of 207 incidents, representing a 71 per cent increase compared to 2023. Moreover, the number of serious cases has also risen, including an arson attack on a Jewish woman’s home in May, a knife assault on a Jewish boy, and seven additional cases involving violence, assault, and physical harassment against Jewish individuals.

 

The terrorist attack in Israel on October 7th, 2023, the subsequent war in Gaza, and the broader conflict in the Middle East provided the backdrop for the majority of antisemitic incidents in Denmark in 2024.

 

“Regrettably, we continue to see a tendency to hold Jews in Denmark collectively responsible for conflicts far away. This tendency has continued  rom 2023 into 2024. It is, of course, an unacceptable and antisemitic trend, regardless of one’s views on the global situation,” says Jeppe Sevel-Lilholt, Vice-Chair of the Jewish Community in Denmark.

 

Another prominent development is the large number of cases involving Jewish children and young people. More than half (63%) of the antisemitic incidents in 2024 targeted individuals or institutions that were clearly and visibly Jewish.

 

“It is a deeply troubling trend that the most effective way to avoid antisemitism appears to be by concealing one’s identity. That is not a viable solution in an open and democratic society. We insist that the root causes must be addressed through education and knowledge about Jewish life and history. The current action plan against antisemitism is set to expire in 2025. A strong continuation of this work will be necessary in the coming years,” says Jeppe Sevel-Lilholt.
