Anti-Israeli sentiment skyrocketing in Czech Republic

The number of anti-Israeli incidents in the Czech Republic rose by more than 200 percent last year, according to an annual report.

Prague’s Jewish community released the report on Monday.

In 2014, 46 such incidents were registered across the country, compared to 13 incidents the previous year.

An escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, notably Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza last July and August, was seen as the main factor fueling the surge.

The report admitted that Czech Jews are perceived by some groups as envoys of Israel and are blamed for its political decisions.
