Summary/Abstract: The increase in cases of anti-Semitic incidents in the world after October 7, 2023 is a hard-to-understand reality given the notorious atrocity of the Hamas attack. Observations from the field, from the spot, which indicate a shocking picture, and would require a corresponding response in any corner of the world, come to delegitimize an incomprehensible trend that blames Israel for deciding to release its citizens and eliminate a terrorist organization. This study makes a foray into the exponential increase (600%) in the large number of anti-Semitic incidents that have taken place in the most powerful Western countries – Great Britain, the United States of America, Germany or France. The research also refers to a field visit to some of the places where the massacres produced by the Hamas attack took place.
