The Department for Research and Information on Anti-Semitism released the report which shows a slight decrease in the number of incidents compared with 2021 — when RIAS reported a total of 2,738 offenses.

2,480 antisemitic incidents, or seven per day, were recorded in 2022 in Germany, according to a new report which shows an increase of extreme violence cases.

The Department for Research and Information on Anti-Semitism (RIAS) released the report which shows a slight decrease in the number of incidents compared with 2021 — when RIAS reported a total of 2,738 offenses. The decrease was explained through the squeeze on “opportunity structures” to promote hatred of Jews, said the government commissioner dealing with antisemitism, Felix Klein.

Nine of the incidents recorded by RIAS involved extreme violence, the highest number of such cases since nationwide reporting began in 2017,” she said.

According to the report, 20% of antisemitic incidents come from perpetrators with “a conspiracy theory background,” while 13% professed extreme right-wing beliefs and 53% had an indeterminate ideology.

Among the violent crimes from last year noted in the report include three that law enforcement believe were done with the assistance of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC.
