This week, the director of the F.B.I. warned Congress that the Israel-Hamas war had escalated threats against Jews and Muslims in the United States, and that antisemitic threats had reached “historic levels.”
The concern, in the aftermath of Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack, goes beyond the United States. Roger Cohen, the Times Paris bureau chief, wrote this week that the assault “has awakened a repressed horror in Jewish populations” in Europe, perhaps not felt “since the Holocaust.” Today, Mr. Cohen joins Lulu Garcia-Navarro to discuss the surge in acts of antisemitism, and the fear rising among Europe’s Jews.
The Israel-Hamas war is evolving by the minute. To help bring you the most up-to-date developments, we have begun “The Headlines: War Briefing,” where you can hear the latest from our correspondents on the ground every afternoon. Hosted by Lulu Garcia-Navarro.
