THE CRISIS
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Signals of antisemitism are scattered across platforms, languages, and jurisdictions. Patterns that should trigger institutional response go unnoticed until they escalate.
Without structured frameworks, every incident becomes a debate. Is it hateful speech or criminal incitement? Who decides? Against which standard?
Even when an incident is clearly antisemitic, the path to the right authority - platform, police, municipality, prosecution, CIDI - is unclear, bureaucratic, and slow.
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.”

Systeme de classification
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.

METHODOLOGY
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.

POURQUOI C'EST IMPORTANT
L'ecart entre l'ampleur de l'antisemitisme en ligne et la capacite du public a le reconnaitre et y repondre se creuse. Des milliers d'incidents ne sont pas reconnus, documentes ou signales chaque annee - non pas parce que les gens s'en moquent, mais parce qu'ils manquent de connaissances et d'outils pour agir.
