Anti-Semitism hits peak in media

The tension which had started after Israel tried to implement security measures at Al-Aqsa Mosque following a terror attack, led to harsh criticism and protests against Israel. However, most of those critiques did not only target Israel and Israeli government’s policies, but also Jews, in general. 

Especially on social media, there has been an obvious increase in Anti-Semitic comments.
