Reporting Centre for Antisemitism of the Jewish Community of Vienna recorded a total of 1,520 antisemitic incidents in 2024

The Reporting Centre for Antisemitism (Antisemitismus-Meldestelle) of the Jewish Community of Vienna (IKG Wien) recorded a total of 1,520 antisemitic incidents in 2024. Compared to 1,147 incidents in 2023, this represents an increase of 32.5%, marking yet another negative record.

The year 2024 continued to be shaped by the genocidal large-scale attack by Palestinian terrorist organisations on Israel on October 7, 2023, and the resulting war, which persisted beyond the end of the reporting period.

The number of antisemitic incidents reached its previous peak in December 2023 with 294 incidents, then dropped in January 2024 to 218 incidents, still the third-highest monthly figure since records began.

On average, there were 4.15 incidents per day throughout the year, which is an increase compared to 2023 (3.14 incidents per day), but represents a halving compared to the period from October 7, 2023 to the end of that year (8.13 incidents per day).
