Synagogue attacks

Amid Israel and America’s bombardment of Iran, several major Western cities have seen anti-Semitic attacks. Four men were arrested in Britain on Friday over suspicion of spying for Iran on Jewish targets in the London area. That night, unidentified gunmen targeted two synagogues in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. On Monday, an explosion occurred at a synagogue in Liège, Belgium. No injuries have been reported, but the spike in Jew hatred, including in countries not directly involved in the war, is part of a worrying global trend.
