Antisemitism And Racism - The Stephen Roth Institute For The Study Of Contemporary

The tables in this section refer to violent acts perpetrated against Jewish targets worldwide
during 2003.
The figures are based on the database of the Stephen Roth Institute and reports of the Coordination
Forum for Countering Antisemitism.

The data in the tables are classified into two categories:

Major attacks. Includes attacks and attempted attacks by violent means, such as arson,
firebombs, shootings, etc.

Major violent incidents. Includes harassment and vandalism of Jewish property and sites,
such as damage to community buildings, desecration of synagogues and street violence
not involving the use of a weapon.

It should be stressed that the numbers of incidents presented in the various tables reflect only
serious acts of antisemitic violence.
