THE CRISIS
Antisemitism in the Netherlands has reached crisis levels. The data is unambiguous.
The Netherlands is experiencing the worst surge in antisemitism since the Second World War. What was once measured in dozens of incidents per year is now measured in hundreds - and the trajectory is still climbing.
For a decade, antisemitic incidents held at an average of 138 per year. In two years, that number has risen by 305%. The national threat level has been raised to its second-highest setting. Synagogues are being firebombed. Jewish students are skipping lectures out of fear. And the vast majority of incidents are never reported at all.

TIMELINE OF ESCALATION
2022
The Baseline
155 verified antisemitic incidents recorded by CIDI - roughly in line with the ten-year average of 138. Police register 549 cases. The threat level sits at 3 (Significant). A deceptive calm before what comes next.
2023
The Inflection Point
October 7 triggers a global surge. In the Netherlands, 60% of the year's incidents occur in the final three months alone. CIDI records 379 verified incidents (+145%). Police cases jump to 880 (+60%). The NCTV raises the threat level to 4 (Substantial) for the first time since 2019.
2024
The Record Year
CIDI registers 421 verified incidents - the highest in 40 years of monitoring. In March, the opening of the National Holocaust Museum is disrupted by 2,000 protesters. In November, coordinated attacks target Jewish citizens across Amsterdam after an Ajax-Maccabi match - organized via Telegram, openly called a "Jodenjacht." Dozens injured, 60+ arrests.
2025
No Sign of Slowing
Preliminary data from CIDI indicates the upward trend is continuing. Public-space antisemitism rose 45% year-on-year. Vandalism against Jewish targets up 44%. CIDI warns that 2025 will likely break the record again.
2026
Explosives at Synagogues and Schools
March 13: an explosive device detonates at a Rotterdam synagogue at 3:40 AM. Four suspects arrested near a second synagogue. March 14: a bomb hits the Cheider, the Netherlands' only Orthodox Jewish school. Part of a broader European wave including attacks in Liege, Detroit, Toronto, Norway, and Greece.
THE ACTION GAP
The numbers tell only part of the story. Behind every recorded incident are dozens more that never enter any system.
According to the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, only about 28% of Jewish Europeans who experience antisemitic harassment report it to any authority. The primary reason? They believe nothing will happen.
Detection is slow
Signals of antisemitism are scattered across platforms, languages, and jurisdictions. Patterns that should trigger institutional response go unnoticed until they escalate.
Classification is uncertain
Without structured frameworks, every incident becomes a debate. Is it hateful speech or criminal incitement? Who decides? Against which standard?
Action stalls
Even when an incident is clearly antisemitic, the path to the right authority - platform, police, municipality, prosecution, CIDI - is unclear, bureaucratic, and slow.
Documentation is lost
Without systematic record-keeping, patterns never surface. Repeat offenders go undetected. Institutional memory evaporates between cases.
This is the gap HateCheck was built to close.
“The tools to fight antisemitism should be as structured, as fast, and as persistent as the hatred they confront.”

Klassifizierungssystem
The HateCheck Index
The HateCheck Index provides a structured framework for triaging threats - from lawful speech to urgent risk. Each tier maps to specific institutional and legal response mechanisms, ensuring proportionate action. The index bridges the gap between raw detection and structured enforcement.
Tier 1
Nicht antisemitisch
Inhalt, der die Schwelle fur Antisemitismus unter keinem anwendbaren Standard erreicht.
Keine Massnahme erforderlich. Zur Referenz archivieren.
Tier 2
Kontext erforderlich
Grenzwertiger Inhalt, der je nach Kontext, Absicht und Publikum antisemitisch sein kann.
Zur menschlichen Uberprufung und Kontextanalyse markieren.
Tier 3
Antisemitisch
Inhalt, der unter IHRA/JDA-Definitionen als antisemitisch gilt, aber keine strafrechtlichen Schwellen uberschreitet.
Dokumentieren, bei Plattform melden, Uberwachungsstellen benachrichtigen.
Tier 4
Potenziell strafbar
Inhalt, der moglicherweise gegen die Artikel 137c, 137d oder 137e des niederlandischen Strafgesetzbuchs verstosst.
Formelle Verweisung an Strafverfolgungsbehorden mit Beweispaket.
Tier 5
Dringendes Risiko
Unmittelbare Bedrohungsindikatoren, die eine dringende Verweisung an Strafverfolgungsbehorden erfordern.
Notfallverweisung. Ziele und Behorden sofort benachrichtigen.
METHODOLOGY
Grounded in International Standards
Antisemitism often sits at the intersection of law, politics, speech and safety. Without clear standards, real threats are missed, legitimate speech is mislabelled, and actions taken on weak analysis don't hold up. HateCheck relies on a layered set of well-known external frameworks - not to replace human judgment, but to support it with consistent, explainable structure.
IHRA Working Definition
The internationally recognized baseline for identifying antisemitism across institutional, media, and public discourse.
The Nexus Document
Distinguishes legitimate criticism of Israel from antisemitism through contextual analysis.

Die Kluft zwischen dem Ausmass des Online-Antisemitismus und der Fahigkeit der Offentlichkeit, ihn zu erkennen und darauf zu reagieren, wird grosser. Tausende von Vorfallen werden jedes Jahr nicht erkannt, nicht dokumentiert oder nicht gemeldet - nicht weil es den Menschen egal ist, sondern weil ihnen das Wissen und die Werkzeuge zum Handeln fehlen.
