    In a report Wednesday, the Federation of the Jewish Communities said there were 347 anti-Semitic attacks in 2018, up by 221 from 2015 when the last equivalent report was published.

    Most of the attacks — 93% — appeared on the internet, often on far-right, anti-liberal and pro-Russian media.

    The group said there were two physical attacks and three attacks on Jewish property last year. The remainder involved anti-Semitic threats, harassment and verbal abuse.

    The report still says the Czech Republic remains a safe country for Jews and anti-Semitism is at a relatively low level compared with other European countries.

    Jew hating is on the rise everywhere since the Orange Fuhrer gave it his OK. His ‘fine people’ in Charlortesville and his followers on nazi ‘infowars’ love his daughter and new daughter in law. But the Market went up 2 points today so beating Jews up is OK.
