“Paris concentrates the most incidents (379), followed by the following departments in the Paris region: Hauts-de-Seine (131), Val-de-Marne (110), Seine-Saint-Denis (92), and Bouches-du-Rhône (78) or Alpes-Maritimes (56) in the south of France.”
On January 22, 2025, the Service for the Protection of the Jewish Community in France (SPCJ) published its annual report on antisemitism for 2024, preceding the Ministry of the Interior. The Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France (CRIF), relying on this data, quickly relayed the information by publishing a summary on its website.
In 2024, 1,570 antisemitic acts were recorded, compared to 1,676 the previous year. This represents a 6.3% decrease compared to the previous year. However, the monthly average reached an unprecedented level with 130 acts, marking a new plateau that has been maintained and confirmed month after month.
It should be noted that the methodology used is based on the numerical syntheses of the Central Territorial Intelligence Service, which depends on the Ministry of the Interior. These data, which count “actions (violent)” and “threats,” are cross-referenced with reports from the Ministry and the SPCJ. However, only acts reported through complaints or police reports are counted. This methodology may underestimate the true extent of antisemitism, as some victims refrain from filing complaints out of fear of retaliation. Unfortunately, precise information regarding the number of people referred to courts, the number of convictions pronounced, the penalties applied, and the number of cases dismissed for antisemitic acts is not available in the search results. ….SOURCE
