Number of Violent Anti-Semitic Incidents World-Wide Drops In 2010

According to an annual report from Israel's Tel Aviv University, the number of violent anti-Semitic incidents world-wide dropped dramatically in 2010 from the prior year. Haaretz today reports that 2010 saw a 46% decline, from 1129 incidents in 2009 to 614 last year. However the drop is largely due to the high number of violent incidents in 2009 stemming from Israel's incursion into the Gaza Strip. The 2010 number was still among the highest since the 1980's.
